I have both Farley triggers for testing.

[SteveOak]

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.

If you were in Phoenix you could try my Favio Fare.

I ordered it from Killough's.

It was not in stock when I looked so I signed up to be notified when they came in. Got an email. Placed the order. They shipped it right away, no worries, as usual.

"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!

Sad but true Eddie.

Al,
That is not the design of these triggers...at all.

yup, gotcha' Boyd......THANKS!

Looking forward to your review

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.

Any status updates on the Farley triggers? WD

After fitting the competition trigger to a rifle that has yet to make it to the range, I have spent some time with the one with the safety. My force meter tells me that it is set at about 10 oz. but you couldn't prove it by how it feels...really. It is sooo smooth. You have to watch your finger pull it to know that it is moving before let off. It has taught me something about how we perceive trigger motion. Absent any stack up of force, or feel of texture during the travel, the travel becomes undetectable by feel. You can only know that it is there by watching, so if you habitually watch your trigger as you are firing your rifle....When I got it, it was set for 6 oz, and because of the reasons that I mentioned. That felt so light that I would only want it on a pure bench gun...so I jacked it all the way up to 10 oz, and that feels amazing, but not quite so "too close to the edge". I don't like to have to think about my triggers. Whether it be one set at 2 oz. or one that is heavier. The way that this happens, for me, is that they have to have the same feel every time, so that I know when things are going to happen. This one fills that bill perfectly.

Here are the 2 triggers. They can be set very very light and still work. I have around 500rds on the comp trigger and it hasnt shifted. I have it set on 21grams measured with my somfy tec gauge and ive measured it probably 100 times with no variation. I did find an older trigger hanger in an older action and it needed relieved in one spot where a pin protrudes. One could fix that with a chainsaw file in a couple minutes.

Thanks for the update Boyd and Dusty. And keep em coming as you have time. Since there are now "several" possibly viable trigger candidates for new builds, upgrades, replacements, spares, etc it would sure help to have some central input on them. Thanks SO much for both of your efforts so far in this arena. WD
