I bought a Ruger Hawkeye a year or two ago. The trigger was Ok, but not great, so I took the rifle to a gunsmith who took 10 minutes of my time and $10 of my money (a bargain, in my view) to replace the trigger assembly spring with a lighter spring. That took the pull weight down to a hair over 2 pounds. That was a definite improvement. But...I had the urge for an aftermarket trigger, so I ordered a Timney. The instructions were clear and understandable and with a bit of filing (per the directions) I had it installed in 20 or 30 minutes. I could've gone faster, but since it was the first time I'd done it, I went slow and careful. Then I had to take a little material off the inside of the stock to give clearance to the trigger assembly. That was pretty easy. Then I fiddled with pull weights and springs and decided that the Ruger spring with the Timney trigger was the best combination. It's really a great trigger.
