JARD Tikka Trigger

[Justin Crossley]

Who has used the JARD Tikka trigger and how did it work?

I have a couple of the Timney two-stage Tikka triggers that I like and I found the JARD when looking for another one.

This trigger will be going on the new 25 CM that I'm building and will be used for NRL Hunter and hunting.

Not much help on the question as I have not used either of those two. But, there is the KRG Midas as a two stage option. @B_Reynolds_AK has a Midas and it felt nice, but I don't have much experience with it.

Also Sako S20 triggers should fit, such as the Bix N Andy Dakota, but that is not two stage. There is a factory two stage for the S20 if you can find one (or a Tikka TAC A1 trigger is also two stage).

I can’t comment on the jard but I can be a little bit of a trigger snob on a match gun. I wasn’t completely happy with my tikka factory/light spring option.

I got a bix n Andy Dakota and have been very happy with it. If you don’t like a thin trigger shoe you may not like it but the break is very clean, can be adjusted down to where I want, and you can bust it open to clean it in the event you have a dirty match.

Speaking of that I need to buy another.

Have you compared the Bix n Andy to the Timney? I believe it's a bit more expensive and am curious if it's worth the extra.

I have not, I’m not much of a 2 stage fan.

Bix makes a couple tikka triggers, I’m speaking only to the Dakota version. I think it’s like 250 bucks.

Need bix n Andy to make us a tikka tac sport.

The Tikka Super Varmints also come with a 2 stage. I don't like it as much as the other 2 stage triggers I have on other guns- Anschutz and Geissele.

I swapped the Tikka 2 stage for a Bix trigger. They list one specifically for a Tikka. It is very good, but I don't know if it is as reliable in snow and ice as the factory trigger. We are heading for some -20 temps in a few days, so I am going to do Form's test on it.

Here is the Bix n Andy with the side plate removed:
