    Ruger 77 Mark II trigger improvement

    I recently bought a Ruger 77 Mark II. The trigger was 5.5lb and lots of creep and lots of over-travel. I clipped the trigger return spring and got it to 4.5lb with lots of creep and lots of over-travel..
    That is where it is right now.
    I've looked at Brownell's products they have for sale, a Timney and a Basix It appeared to me that the Basix is the better buy - easier to install and easier to adjust.
    Have you had experience with the Basix Trigger?
    What have you guys done/recommend with 77 Mark II triggers?

    .

    I've got no help for you, as I stick to tang safety Ruger 77's, which have adjustable triggers.

    I would however, personably go with the Timney - they've been doing the trigger dance for over 70 years.

    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.
    We go through life trying to make the best decisions we can based on the best infomation we can find, that turns out to be wrong.
