2 stage trigger
Posted by Jansson64 on August 12, 2011 at 8:22 amWho makes a good adjustable 2-stage trigger for the T3? I know there was some CG triggers for T3 but the production ended just after it started…

You can use a TRG trigger, not the cheapest or best solution, but it would certainly work.

I have Jard sending me some triggers to try for the T3. If they work well, I'll definitely put them on the Tikka Store

How are the Jard triggers?

I personally don't see the need. You can safely tweak a T-3 trigger to do everything you need it to do. At least the last 6 I've done…unless you feel the need to get below 1-3/4#. ;D

I've put a couple hundred rounds through my 223 with the 12 ounce Jard trigger over the last few weeks. All I can say is WOW!
Personally I didn't think a Tikka trigger could get any better, but this one shines. The one I was testing was adjusted perfectly right out of the box with no creep and a crisp break.
This assembly also fixes my biggest peeve about the gun: the inability to open the bolt without taking the gun “off safe”. With the Jard Trigger Assembly, the safety can remain on and the bolt is able to be opened making the process much safer.
We're putting a video review together taking the trigger from installation to firing next week.

I agree the stock Tikka trigger is great but has two downfalls I do not like. The U clip that pressures to hold the safety together. Also the cast safety selector. I dropped my rifle and it popped the U clip off. The whole assembly basically came apart and my safety selector broke in half. So that's why I want to change it to something else. Looking at pictures of the JARD trigger it appears to have a better assembled safety. One question I have is I have talked to a few people that have used this trigger and they claimed you could still pull the trigger with the safety on. To where it would fire. Have you noticed this or heard of it? That's only thing that is stopping me at this point from not buying it.

The JARD assembly definitely has a better safety design. When I pulled it out of the box, I actually spent quite a bit of time looking at how the mechanism works. When the safety is on, the trigger cannot move at all. The only way the gun could come out of safety is if someone did not follow instructions when adjusting the trigger.
This trigger has all of the adjust-ability you would expect from a high end trigger group. That also means that someone who does not understand how the trigger works (or does not read the instructions) could adjust it to the point the safety does not have enough tension to stop the sear.
Our test unit came almost perfectly adjusted for 12 ounces with not creep and a crisp break. The over travel is a little more than I like, but I'm splitting hairs. I figured I would adjust it for the product video we are making to show how easy it is.
Like any trigger work, you must test the gun after completing the work. Personally, I have snap caps on hand, load one, and drop the gun on its butt multiple times to see if the trigger goes off. I do this with the safety on and off.
Most of my hunting is done in the mountains so a fall at some point is probable. When I'm testing my trigger work, I try to get the safety to come off accidentally by bumping it and dropping it on its butt as well.
Like I said, it is possible to adjust the trigger incorrectly and cause the safety to fail, but that is definitely user error, not manufacturer error.

Sounds pretty good. Thanks Jason. I will wait for the video before I drop the coin for it.

We haven't. Our web guy disappeared on us… Soooo we're hiring a new one.
Jard also redesigned their Tikka triggers so we had to do a new test on the current version and I am almost done editing that video.
In the mean time we set up a YouTube channel and will start loading videos shortly.
Sorry for the delay.
Once the video is loaded I will post the link here.
