What is wrong with a Tikka T3 trigger...???

Be it a Hunter or other, Left or Right Handed and irrespective of calibre the triggers are all the same..... and work very well.

I have a Tikka T3 Varmint .243W which I shoot in 300 Metre Competition as a factory rifle and has won the class. It also gets a stock change to Benchrest plus barrel change to 6.5x47L and is very competative at 300 & 500 metres agains the likes of Stolle, Barnard etc with Jewell & Kelbly Triggers. 50-60 shooters and it rates in the top dozen. Mine is a Single Set Trigger and is my do all varmint / hunting small/medium game rifle in normal mode. Very accurate.

Trigger spring has been changed from factory and is now about the same pull weight as my Jewell / Kelbly BR triggers.

I just put a Jard on my T3 set at 12oz. It is very crisp, but then so is the one that came with the rifle originally.

I never heard of Jard untill I read your comment. How you like it so far? I reached to Timney and TriggerTech and no word from Timney for a LH Tikka trigger, but Triggertech said LH Diamond trigger should come out second quarter of 2026

The Timney trigger itself will work fine on a LH rifle, once you remove the safety. Whether or not this is a good idea depends on how you use a rifle in the field.

Not sure why you need more than a spring. 1.00 at local hardware store. No about 10 oz, no creep, very crisp. Safe works fine.

Best factory trigger out there in my opinion, change spring and it’s even better.

I have the factory trigger with the spring mod, but Its pulling around 1-1.1 lb. I like my triggers around 8-9oz as this will not be a hunting setup. Maybe I should shoot it more and it will break even lower

Good to know this. Primary use will be slapping steel at 600yds. Open bolt is the best safety.

I agree that the factory T3 trigger is very good. I added the MCARBO trigger spring which brought the pull down from about 3lb to 1lb 10oz.

MCARBO springs makes a really good factory trigger a really Great Awesome factory trigger on the T3
