Default got the timney installed in the Xbolt this morning

the Timney kit is about 1mm wider than the factory Browning trigger which has a recess all along both bottom sides to accommodate the safety bar. Took a few minutes to open up the carbon fibre for the extra width and was still sticking a bit so my wife suggested a tracing tape that she uses that leaves a blue chalk/powder when anything is pressed against it hard. Identified a high spot the safety ear was rubbing and it is all good. About 2 pounds (waiting for buddy with digital trigger pull scale) and nice and crisp. 200 % improvement on the factory original.

Default factory instructions from timney

said that unless special ordered direct from them all triggers leave factory at about 3 pounds pull and counter clockwise allen key generally reduces pressure by 1 pound for each full rotation. I wanted it slightly under 2 pounds so rotated counter clockwise 1 full turn and a bit (1/8) before installing. Friend arrived with digital pull gauge and tested 5 times and was pretty consistent 1 pound 14 ounces. Did about another 1/8 rotation and 5 more tests brought average pull down to 1 pound 10 ounces. Good enough to try on next coyote that crosses the yard/field.
