I have both Farley triggers for testing.

Today, two Farley triggers arrived for testing and evaluation, one each of the safety model, and the competition model. The workmanship and finish are excellent. Tonight I studied the diagram of their internal mechanisms, and tomorrow they will be installed in rifles for evaluation. Over travel is preset, and looks to be right at minimum, and pull weight and engagement are adjustable without disassembling the rifle, with an Allen wrench. Both have a horizontal intermediate (third) lever, and the safety design is both simple and impressively designed. Short of the trigger coming off of the receiver, I do not see any way that it could fail, which is a lot from me because I am not generally a fan of safeties. This is going to be fun. More to come.

Is it proof against blanked primers?

What is your thought about overtravel? I set mine to floppymax.......

These are not the original design. There is no over travel adjustment. It comes set at minimum, with no adjustment, which will not bother me at all. They are different than the original design, quite different.

these aren't the new bunny rabbit triggers?
 
Several of the triggers I've tested over the last two years, including several B&A's are proof against blanking. The only triggers I HAVEN'T tested in this way are the Flavorey Fairie (cuz I can't GET one yet.....3 different suppliers, on order. For months.....) and the Hare's.
 
I've had one for a couple weeks. It wouldnt fit a stiller or panda trigger hangar had to file the hangar a bit on the inside, it has a pin slightly protruding from the upper base of the trigger. 10 min fix, also had some pin fit issues that Jim and I spoke about and got fixed. Nice trigger and a wide shoe which I really like. I'm not a bench rest guy (not that there's anything wrong with those people...) I'm a fclass guy so it works for that application but it will not go super light like the BR masses seem to like. Have several Bix n Andy and jewels. feels as good as a bix to me.
 
These are the new Hare triggers and the design is different than the drawing that Dusty put up, completely different. They have horizontal third levers, and the parts appear to pivot on conventional shafts. The engagement surfaces are very finely finished, like mirrors. Edges are very precise. The interference that someone mentioned must have been with a previous model. I say this because I just pulled an unmodified Stiller Viper bracket out of a drawer and one of the triggers slipped in to pin hole alignment without any bind, or any part even being close to that possibility. Later today I will be putting them in rifles. The one with the safety will go in a stock Remington BDL. The competition model will probably go in a new rifle that has a Bighorn action, or maybe my Viper. So far the attention to detail seems impressive, right down to the packaging. They came in sealed pouches, with substantial pieces of black, packing foam on either side. First class protection from dust and damage....very well thought out and deliberate.
 
"They could be the best trigger in the world, but who wants to put up with the "Farley time" aspect?"

"I'm going to ship that in the morning and I'll send you a tracking number." LOL!

I'm dealing with this right now on another brand of 350.00 trigger...... 4 times now "I'll call you right back"..."I'll email confirmation!!" or "we're fresh outta' stock, just happened SINCE YOUR ORDER...."

BTW, NOT The Flavio Fare' since't you all know the dealers of them and they ARE NOT flakes.....

I hate to hear that in a way makes me wonder what’s going on. I did have one on order for four weeks and after calling every week finally got mine but it wouldn’t fit either trigger HANGAR really makes me wonder

What Stiller hanger does it not fit? Mine, for a Viper has absolutely no issues. Nothing comes close to not fitting.
 
Stiller rattler (viper with small box cut out to make legal for hunter class) and a brand new panda F class . I spoke with Jim about it and he said he know some would need minor fitting.
