Help on a Mark II trigger - please

[dakota]

I bought my first Mark II - a 22-250- the trigger was 5.5lb and quite a bit of sear engagement. I cut a little of the trigger return spring and got it down to 4.5 lb - any more and it would become unreliable. I'm used to a 2.5lb to 3 lb crisp trigger on my hunting rifles, on the lower end on my varmint rifles.
I see some trigger kits on Brownell's for well over $100, which seems a little steep - or is it?
I don't want to polish the sear or trigger surfaces too much...

What do you guys recommend? Thanks.

Are you asking about a Mauser M98, or perhaps a 1914 or 1917 Enfield, and the Dayton-Traister Mark II trigger?

Ruger Mark II.

Ruger Mark II.

I have a Volquartsen trigger in my Ruger Mark II 22 LR pistol.

If you are speaking of the Ruger 77 Mark II rifle, I have two of them and installed Timney triggers in both of them. Minor fitment involved, but now both triggers are 3.5 lbs. and crisp...no creep.

Put a Timney in mine. Easy to install and makes quite a difference.

I had one in 22-250 that I let my wife use to kill a big buck. After her excitement died down, she said " I want my Sako back; I kept waiting for it to fire." I didn't want to spend money on it so I sent it packing. It had a 6 lb pull.

I used this to do a 77mkII SS .223 and it came out at around 3 to 3.5 lb's . On my .308 I just polished it and it is about 5 lb's but it feels like it is less.

Dayton-Traister get's my vote.....have done many & they work great. For price/quality I would give an A.
