The Firing Line Forums - View Single Post - My take on improving Howa 1500 factory trigger

Im guessing that , yes, this is the case from what I have read on forums that date back a fair while... that the Howa/Weatherby line of triggers arent that great.. It would be fairly easy enough for one to go online and drop in an aftermarket Jewel or Timney, as I wanted to do, but at the costs they sell here locally (NZ) and the dramas of paperwork to have these leave the US by a retailer was just too prohibtive in my case - a damn shame really.... I think at a mere glance, NZ retailers DOUBLE the costs of the US price tag.. Typically greedy...

Maybe labelled as a gift it may get here.. hah!
