Bought this for howa trigger upgrade. The factory howa trigger only adjusts down to 3.5 lbs. Timney 609 adjusts 1.5 to 4 lbs. For bench shooting a light crisp trigger is best, that's what you get with Timney.

The title says it all. If you have a superlite action and are looking for an upgrade this trigger will not fit. Lucky enough returns to optics planet is painless.

Trigger was easy to swap out on my Weatherby Vanguard s1 300 wby mag. Fit was great and trigger is crisp.

This is a great trigger for the standard Howa 1500 action. I ordered it thinking it would go in my new Howa Superlite and although it is the same design, it is a little longer. JARD makes a trigger for the super lite,

I’ve done all the little tricks to stock triggers in the past changing springs polishing springs and I’ve gotten great results . But I have limited time for modifications anymore so I choose the easy route and I’am very happy it’s even better than expected.
Pros:
- Very easy and fast to change
Would recommend: Yes

This install, including set the trigger to 2.5 lbs, took no more than about 10 minutes total! I had originally had it ordered through Tunney directly and it was never disclosed to me that it was on back order. I found it available here and for cheaper and had it in roughly 3 days! Thank you Optics Planet I appreciate the help.
Pros:
- Simplicity, price, adjustment, durability
Would recommend: Yes

Good aftermarket trigger. I have four Timney triggers on rifles and all are great triggers. I had no fitment issues with the Howa 1500 trigger. It adjust for how light or heavy it allows. Few stock rifles will adjust as well as you like. Timney is the next logical and safe step. They are a little pricey.
Pros:
- made well, good construction & materials used.
Would recommend: Yes

The trigger was shipped with a replacement attaching screw that was about two turns too long to clear the bolt. Thirty seconds on a belt sander fixed that. Dimensionally the trigger is slightly different than the original, resulting in floor plate/ trigger interference. Again quickly fixed with a dremel. But be aware, this may not be a drop in replacement. The adjustment for trigger pull was easy, dropped from 3lb12ozs, to 1lb12ozs in about one full turn on the adjustment screw. Yep light for a hunting gun but 99+% of my shooting is from a bench.
Cons:
- Dimensionally different from OEM
- Included hardware too long
Would recommend: Yes

Product came exactly as described and on time. It was an exact fit to a Howa 1500 and needed NO modifications to get it installed right. Just take apart stock, remove trigger assembly screw to remove trigger, drop in Timney and install trigger screw, replace stock, torque action bolts. Go shoot. My groups got significantly tighter because of it and I noticed immediate results.
