ruger triggers

[Simple Man]

Does anyone have experience replacing the trigger in a Ruger M77 MarkII? I understand that the only way to lighten the pull on the factory setup is to buy a new adjustable trigger. I have found sources for these, but don't know if this is a pretty simple boltup. Any help will be appreciated.

I had mine replaced with Timney (sp) triggers. It makes all the difference in the world. I did this on a 308, a 223 and a 22 mag. Of course, I am assumming you are talking about a newer Ruger as the old tang safety models have adjustable triggers. Be sure to get an experienced individual to do the work. If you are around Columbia I can recommend a few.

Go see Ronnie Cox on Woodruff Rd. in Greenville. He is just right down the road from you. He does great work and is a very dependable gunsmith!

Thanks for the info. I have talked to Ronnie Cox, but I thought I might do the work myself if the job doesn't take much "skill". I can buy the trigger for about $60 - he'll do the job for about $150 (parts included). It's starting to sound like I'll just let him do it. [img]graemlins/2ar15.gif[/img]

The adjustments needed for a trigger are not something a novice should be screwing with. I am assuming you have never worked with a trigger before, or even a little bit. I would be real insecure knowing someone was hunting with me that had done his own trigger job. And chances are the gunsmith will do a better job than you would know. You would probably end up with a trigger with little or no creep, crisp and, above all, safe. Unless you are experienced, do yourself a favor and use a gunsmith for this job.
I watched the gunsmith9now deceased Dick Glenn) do the job on all of my guns that he worked on and I still would not attempt the job. Good choice on letting the gunsmith do it. Let us know what difference it makes.
