Super 700 trigger in stock

Supposedly, this place has 5 in stock and is charging $250. Their website is on TriggerTech's dealer finder so I think they're legit? I don't quite know why they're charging so much less though.

 
Anyone in the Anchorage area want to order together and split shipping? Maybe @B_Reynolds_AK ? They will only send them UPS at $60 for one trigger.

I just called Geissele. They said that looks highly suspect.
 
These two triggers (one on the mfgr’s site the other the retailer) are definitely not made on the same line.

Chinese copies are often very good but not exact - maybe there are multiple suppliers, but these are not the same. Surface finish on the body, trigger and the chrome part are different. Looks like spacing at the top center pin and hole is different. Font spacing and size is different. Screw and clip supplier is different. Bolt release hangs lower in one.

Edit: the top photo is slightly smaller here so it makes it harder to see the differences, but when both are sized the same it sure looks different.

It's probably that they just haven't updated the website's picture since Geissele started making them again with a new process, whereas Geissele has. I'm not caping for them and I'm not particularly interested in getting this trigger now that I'm putting together a Tikka and ordering a KRG Midas tonight.

If someone cared enough to find out then it might be worth it to call TriggerTech and ask them since WilAmy is an authorized TT dealer. Maybe their TT's are legit and they sell chinese knockoffs of Geissele but that would be an odd mix.

Edit: Also the WilAmy website had the Super 700 out of stock for a long time back when I was looking for one. They now have them back in stock now that Geissele resumed production. Maybe their Chinese knockoff hookup just happened to start at the same time as Geissele resuming production. If that's the case I'm almost impressed.

In a world full of counterfeits I’d definitely look for confirmation they are legit, but if the manufacturer has doubts, that’s a hard pass for me.
