Best trigger for Panda Action

I have an older Panda action with a Davies two stage trigger and was wondering if there are better two stage triggers around today that are being used on the Panda.
I have noticed some wear on the trigger and figure it is just a matter of time before I will have to replace it with a new one. I understand Davies no longer makes this trigger and want to be prepared for the
inevitable.
The gun is chambered in 6.5x 284 currently with the idea of going to 260 Remington when this barrel is shot out.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
 
I have two Davies and three X-Treme shooting triggers in my prone rifles, all Pandas. Tom Myers makes the finest two-stage trigger that money can buy, period. What makes it the best is not just the trigger, but also his un-paralleled customer support. Once he adjusted my trigger between relays at the Nationals while he is competing against me! More than a few times I’ve found him on Commercial Row working on someone trigger to get it “just right” for the customer well after the days shooting is done and a cold one is in order. If that isn't dedication to your product and the sport in general, then I'd love to hear what is. I'm not sponsored by or work for X-Treme triggers, but I know quality when I see and use it.
I hope this helps,
Lloyd
 
Lloyd,
I too have two Extreme triggers in rifles I own. I have sent an email to John Whidden(distributor of Extreme triggers near me) to see if one will work for my Panda. I also saw on here that John is/was the distributor for Davies triggers here in the states. Does anyone know if this is still the case?
 
6brmrshtr,
If it were me I would buy the "X" trigger and not look back. It's made in the good 'ol USA by a guy that is an active shooter, (I can't count how many time he has handed me my a$$) and isn't half-way around the world for support if you need it.
Just my .02c worth,
Lloyd
 
Received an email from John Whidden and he is not carrying the Davies any longer. He suggests the X treme will work in my Panda action with little or no mods. Interested in what others have had to have done if anything to get the X treme to fit the Panda Action.
 
Installation is simple and straightforward. Pin the trigger into the correct housing, then place the assembly into the action and tighten up 2 small screws. Adjust to your liking and go shoot.
I hope this helps,
Lloyd
 
Lloyd:
Thanks, I think the X will be my next trigger for the Panda. Appreciate your help.

I have used a Jewell and do not have a thing against them, but prefer the two stage being an old prone shooter for years and an accross the course shooter.
I have a tendency to get too quick on the jewell vs the two stage triggers. Thanks for the suggestion.
