Tikka Bump Test

[Hans_Grimsgaard]

Hey all,

After installing an Unknown Trigger Spring I discovered that on bump test the tikka will fire. I removed the Unknown Spring and reinstalled the factory spring. With the trigger spring screw backed out the Tikka will fire with a bump test.
This seems like a major safety issue. Wondering if anyone else has bump tested their Tikkas. With my Remington 700 and Defiance Anti and a nice light trigger pull (I don’t have a trigger gauge for pounds) those rifles won’t fire with a bump test.

Something to think about.

Video for reference:

How tight is your trigger mounting bolt? The torque spec on them is higher than you would think and they will fire if it's loose.

I always test my triggers by dropping the butt of the gun onto a hard floor from about 2 feet up. Just for the heck of it I just smacked the crap out of my Tikka (KRG Midas trigger) with a rubber hammer and it was fine.

Since you went to the trouble of creating a video on it--it's kind of a lame clickbait title for a problem that is user-caused. You didnt tighten the trigger enough when you messed with the spring, tighten it and it'll be fine, arguably better than your 700 in more than one way.
