The Timney 601 Featherweight transforms Ruger 77 rifles with a precision-engineered curved trigger that delivers consistent 3-pound pull weight. This drop-in replacement eliminates creep and overtravel while maintaining the rifle's original safety mechanisms.
What Makes This Different
Unlike factory triggers that often exhibit inconsistent pull weights and excessive creep, the Timney 601 features a fully adjustable design machined from heat-treated steel. The curved shoe provides natural finger placement for improved control. Each trigger undergoes individual testing to ensure the advertised 3-pound pull weight remains consistent across temperature ranges and extended use.
Key Features
