    Weatherby Vanguard 308 trigger

    Hey lads ,
    I have a 308 Weatherby Vanguard with a very creepy unpredictable trigger.
    I am looking at timney triggers but they all seem to be mega expensive and out of stock in most places.
    I have a couple of questions for you who might of fitted these triggers....

    Is it worth it and does it improve the gun much or is it worth saving the pennies and buying a gun already fitted with a decent trigger like the Tika ?

    I am starting to shoot out too 300 yards and the trigger is not helping the situation but as I know , I cant always blamed the trigger for missing the target.
    I think I will eventually get used to the trigger as I spend more time behind the rifle but a nice trigger would be helpful.

    Anyway thanks for any helpful comments or advice.

    Get in contact mate. Im pretty sure we can sort that out. It should be the same trigger as a Howa and in my opinion a tikka trigger will not get close to a tweaked hact 2.

    A good job and a good wife has been the ruin of many a good hunter.

    Ordered a Timney trigger from outdoor equipment in Carterton from Ross.
    Went down and picked it up today and fitted it.
    I wanted the timney trigger standard but Ross sourced me a Nickle plated trigger for the same price as a standard one.

    Have dry fired it a few times and loaded and unloaded her , seems to be alot nicer to shoot but time will tell and Ill find out when I take her down the back to shoot the gong.
    Or when I go for a hunt with a mate.
    Cheers
