Highly technical Timeny aesthetics question

[Savage.250]

Howdy all,

I am considering the purchase of a Timney drop-in trigger unit to from MidwayUSA to replace the factory trigger on my Ruger M77 MKII Stainless rifle.
I have one small concern that may seem trivial but just thought some of you experienced HighRoaders could clue me in.

Midway's website has pictures of both Ruger M77 MKII right-hand and left-hand units. I want a right-hand unit. My concern is the Timney stainless matching my rifle's stainless. If you look at the website, the pic for the left-hand unit appears very similar to my rifle's stainless. As for the right-hand unit, the stainless color appears darker. I want to say this may just be the lighting when they took the photo but wasn't sure.

Can anyone answer my highly technical gun smithing question?

I don't know, but maybe it's time to jump on it.

I just read on another forum that Mr. Timney has retired.

I looks like poor lighting. Midway is excellent to deal with, they will take it back if you're unhappy but you'd be out the shipping. I can't see those being made from different materials, it would not make any sense.

Thanks John and mrmeval. Ordered mine yesterday.

If it's an asthetics thing you really can't live with, you have another option. It won't get you adjustable "Timney" functionality, But a Trapper trigger spring kit is an incredibly effective modification for the 77 MKII. The kit has three choices of the single trigger spring. Installing the lightest, (yellow? I can't remember), with a little stoning on the sear is a very nice touch for a hunting rifle.

$18 vs $90.
