    I just found this aussie site that may be of interest and a good place to source a spring replacement

    In a t3 , just unwind the grub screw a few turns and the trigger gets lighter....

    Most tikka triggers are better than most shooters.
    I don't get the spam guy comment
    You obviously don't know what a good trigger is

    @Gkp have similar thing, two tikka's two different triggers. One has the adjustment screw set about 3/4 out and is perfect crisp 2lb, other is wound right out and a rough 3lb. I tried swapping the trigger units over and same thing. So doesn't appear to be the trigger unit. I think it may be to do with the finish/angle on the bolt sear?

    I have that trigger spring.
    It’s a decent little spring and makes the trigger a bit nicer.

    Can anyone get Triggertech to make one for the Tikka..... I’d be all over one

    Quote... I am surprised to hear of a bad trigger in a tikka, I haven't come across one yet.

    I have 3 tikkas....the triggers are just fine,...splitting cunt-hairs comes to mind here when bagging tikka triggers.....

    Tikka 300 win mag/243/270....

    The triggers and pull on these rifles have been dragged through the mud on several occasions here...you either like em or you dont......Ive personally never had a problem with them ,they do the job they are supposed to,....my finger likes them

    I have found that winding the Tikka trigger adjustment screw into the heaviest setting, leaving it there for a while, and then winding out to the lightest setting seems to make it lighter.

    All good stuff, cheers guys will give these things a try. I have also ordered a spring of that aussie site to try as well.
    I shot 20 odd goats today with the shooter and the trigger is definitely the weak point

On recoil, the angle of the butt pad, the drop of the stock and the angle of the comb direct the recoil forces up and back at ya not in a straight line. Mate of mine has a tikka in an aftermarket stock, some lightening fluff and a bit of milling and a half cock mod of some sort on the bolt which makes it much less floppy. It's a nice comfortable usable rifle that fixes just about everything I don't like about the factory offering. Definitely has less 'felt recoil' than a factory rifle, knowing that the physics are the same...
    Totally agree, once I raised up my comb height, put the vertical pistol grip on (T3X) it made mine a lot nicer to shoot. If you can adjust the recoil pad vertically, that makes a big difference to how the rifle recoils. Majority of the time it needs lifting vertically for correct placement in shoulder crease

    Received my after market trigger spring today, fitted in 5 minutes and made a huge difference. Much lighter pull weight

    I can now contribute to the light weight tikka section. Includes a Hardy can and is deadly accurate! Name:  IMG_20200609_084758.jpg

    Thanks to those that convinced me not to sell that scope. Worked out well
