The Timney 430 is an adjustable two-stage replacement trigger for Tikka T3 and T3x bolt-action rifles.
Two-stage trigger refinement for the Tikka T3 — Timney's 430 gives one of Europe's most popular bolt actions a match-room press.
The Timney Two-Stage 430 fits Tikka T3 and T3x actions with a genuine two-stage pull adjustable from 1 to 2.5 lb — a smooth first-stage take-up into a crisp, defined break that suits the T3's excellent factory accuracy. Tikka owners rarely complain about their barrels; the 430 makes sure the trigger keeps up, whether the rifle hunts deer or shoots steel at distance.
Hand-assembled and tested, the 430 installs as a direct replacement and holds its calibrated feel season after season. Black finish, and the usual Timney promise of a pull that never surprises you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Timney 430 fit my Tikka T3 or T3x?
Yes, the 430 is built specifically for Tikka T3 and T3x rifles and goes in as a drop-in replacement for the factory trigger. It uses the existing mounting points in the action, so no permanent alteration is involved. If your barreled action sits in an aftermarket chassis or stock, check clearance around the trigger before ordering.
What does the two-stage design give me over the standard Tikka trigger?
The 430 breaks in two clear parts: a defined take-up stage you can hold against, then a short second stage that releases the shot. Total pull weight runs from 1 to 2.5 lb, which is lighter than most factory settings and suits deliberate shooting from a rest or bipod. Hunters who like to take up the first stage while settling the reticle usually take to it quickly.
Can the pull weight be changed after it is installed?
Yes, the 430 adjusts across its 1 to 2.5 lb range, so you can set it to suit your shooting rather than live with one fixed weight. Follow the instructions supplied with the trigger, work in small increments, and function-check the rifle thoroughly before you use it. If you would rather not do it yourself, a gunsmith will set it in a few minutes.
Is there anything else I need to buy with it?
No, the trigger is supplied complete in a black finish and needs nothing beyond ordinary hand tools to fit. If you are unsure whether your particular rifle is a T3 or T3x, the receiver markings will tell you.
