I just finished the install of the Timney trigger for my wife’s Weatherby Vanguard Camilla in 6.5 Creedmore. The install was easier than my AR. Two bolts hold the stock to the action. The bottom metal dropped out easily followed by the magazine box. The stock was snug but took little effort to remove. It was nice to know the bolts are directly into the action and not pillars in the stock only. The stock trigger is removed with a T-25 torx driver and removes in one piece. The Timney trigger installs in one piece as well. The rifle reassembled as easily as the take down. I did wipe a lot of shipping oil out of the magazine and bottom metal to keep dirt out of it. The stock trigger pulls at just over 3.5 pounds. This Timney trigger pulls right at 2 pounds. This trigger has zero creep and breaks like a pane of glass with very little over travel. This was the best upgrade I’ve done so far to her rifle.

I bought a base from this Talley company because it was a mid-priced base. Not the cheapest but certainly not the most expensive. What a mistake. At first glance it looks great and solid. The issue comes when installing pic-rail style rings. The rings were loose and sloppy. The rings were from Trijicon, so those were the right size. Mounted the rings to my AR with mil-spec pic-rails and they were tight as can be. I measured this rail against the AR's pic-rail and it was just under 1/8" smaller than mil-spec! This rail needs to be pulled, deeply discounted (Nightforce's rail is $10 less) and removed as an inferior product. I've shopped at OpticsPlanet for a while now and I've never seen them carry anything this poor of quality at this price point.

Stay away! Not worth it at any price.

I guess I’m a bit old school when it comes to shotguns. I prefer my shotgun to be a pump action, and there hasn’t really been too many upgrades for them. I never really looked for any trigger upgrades. After all, it’s “just a shotgun” right? Nope. I was dead wrong. While looking for a replacement trigger for my wife’s new Weatherby Vanguard Camilla I went through Timney’s website and happened to stumble upon this 870 sear replacement. I was intrigued with this concept. Sig Sauer basically did the same thing with their SRT trigger bar replacement to shorten the reset and clean up the pull.

Shipping was extremely quick and everything else arrived with this new 870 “trigger.” I was pleasantly surprised to find out Timney is based in my home state of AZ. The instructions were great. It is also worth mentioning, Timney has done YouTube videos showing the installation of their triggers as well (well as long as YouTube will leave them up). The install went great and would have been faster if my fingers wouldn’t stop fumbling the sear. I used the blue/light spring to start with. I place the trigger back in the 870 to test. Love it! Nice light pull with no more creep. The trigger now has a crisp, clean break and much less over travel. The reset is still just as long as before. All in all this upgrade is completely worth the money! I wish I’d seen this a long time ago.
