Looking at putting a aftermarket trigger in a ruger 77 mkii. Has anyone used the rifle basix triggers? Are they reliable? What triggers would y’all recommend. Thanks.

I bought a M77 with the LC6 trigger that a gunsmith had adjusted. It is now an awesome trigger.

I have heard good things about the basix. It should be an improvement over the factory one.

Rifle basics is good, have a buddy who has one in a remington. I have had a timney in my ruger for almost ten years now and never had a problem.


Only accurate rifles are interesting.

I've got a 3# Rifle Basix in my RM700. I love it, smooth and no creep.

Have a smith work the factory Trigger. You can get it to 2.5lbs with no creep.

If I were going to put an aftermarket trigger in it though I'd get a Timney

I put a timney on my M77 Hawkeye a few years ago. It's a great trigger and breaks crisp at @ 2 lbs. But I would not recommend doing this job yourself. It was a lot of work and I had to grind on the trigger lever and grind a LOT on the safety cylinder to make it fit. If you grind a couple thousandths too much on the safety cylinder, it's toast and you will have to send it to Ruger for replacement. I was very careful and took my time and it works great.

If I bought another Ruger, I would take it to a gunsmith like Gundoc and let him fine tune it.

Had an M77 that a friend (gunsmith hobbyist) worked down to 2.5lbs for me. Best trigger in any gun I've owned and I wish I'd never sold it.

I put a Timney in mine. A little uncomfortable for me filing on the safety but I just took it slow and easy and it worked out well.

I've got an old Mkii skelton stock 308 that had one of the famous "lawyer proof triggers" that they made for a few years, it was terrible. I had a Timney put in by a gunsmith and it is just right.

I added a Timney to mine. It wasn’t hard. I regret trading that rifle.

M77 triggers are tricky. I would not recommend modifications to the factory trigger. I had one with the top tang safety, that would fire when I moved the safety to OFF position. I took it to Sammy Strough in Montgomery and we discovered it had been filed. Sammy ordered a new factory trigger group for it, and solved the problem.
