Thread: Winchester model 70 trigger spring replacement - anyone know of anything in NZ?

Find a lighter spring of the same length. The problem with shortening the spring on a trigger with a single adjustment screw that adjusts both weight and sear engagement at the same time is that they are easily made unsafe. The M70's have rubbish sloppy triggers not like the Tikka that also has a single screw. By using a full length but lighter spring full sear engagement can be maintained while making the 'felt' weight less. There will still be some creep. The other way to look at it is that only one extra deer needs shot to pay for a Timney during your whole hunting career 20kg meat @ $15
