Trigger for Bergara Rifle

[daniel_it]

I'am planning to upgrade the trigger on my Bergara that i use primarly for hunting.

I already have a timney calvin elite on a custom build bolt action rifle.

Now should i buy a second timney elite in order to have the same trigger on both rifles or is there so less difference between the top triggers that it won't make a difference what one i buy. Another possibility is to move the timney to the bergara and upgrade the trigger on the custom rifle.
Somehow i like the idea to have the same trigger on both rifles.

I can get the following triggers (for nearly the same price)
- Timney Calvin Elite
- Drengr Axe
- Bixn Andy SportTac

Thanks
Daniel

Can I ask why you want to swap triggers? I messed around with a Bergara this past weekend and I thought it broke very well. For a hunting application I would leave it with factory trigger for sure.

I would like a lighter trigger, the bergara trigger breaks at ~2.8 pounds.

i got the Bix'n Andy TacSport (not the "Pro") in my 223 trainer......clean, crisp single stage, can go down to 10oz. very happy!

Why not do a trigger tech primary or special? Both feel awesome and break like glass

I love the trigger on my Bergara HMR. Mine breaks at just over 2# from the factory. It’s actually a very nice trigger. I see no reason to change it.

I swapped my B14 HMR factory trigger out for a TrggerTech Special and set it to 2.8 lbs., felt a whole lot lighter than the factory trigger, no more creep, broke like glass. I recently also swapped out the bolt to a Bergara Premier Short Action bolt for the lighter firing pin and spring, the gas shield, beefier shroud, and fluting which is great for dry, dusty areas; now the TriggerTech Special has me grinning from ear to ear every time one of my buddies shoots my HMR - it's fun to watch when the lights come on and the first thing I hear is "I've got to get me one of these!"

the Bergara B14 can use Remington 700 aftermarket stocks and triggers.

the Bergara B14 can use Remington 700 aftermarket stocks and triggers.

That's what this thread has been all about; to be specific the OP was interested in which Rem 700 aftermarket trigger to use.

I'am thinking about putting a triggertech special on my HMR.

The Calvin elite is great. Only shot the 2 stage though.

My factory had a bit of creep and was still 3 lbs.

I haven't been that impressed with trigger tech yet, but I may try one. I think bix & Andy is next on my list.

Calvin Elite isn't even in the same galaxy.

Hijacking this thread: searching for replacement trigger groups, I read: "Timney Triggers are designed to work with Remington 700 actions. The Bergara rifles use a heavier firing pin spring that limits pull weight adjustability. "

What's your experience with this? How far from the minimum 8 oz of the Calvin Elite does the Bergara perform?
