Trouble with Weatherby Vanguard Trigger???

[Redcoat3340]

My son has a Weaterby Vanguard 30.06 with a terrible trigger. He says it's got at least 1/8" take up that feels like sandpaper scraping against corragated steel. It affects his accuracy as he's never sure when it will go BANG!
(NOTE: He was a scout sniper in the USMC and went through their sniper school and helped teach marksmanship. You DON'T want to stand in front of him!)

He's ordered a Timmny drop in trigger so that will probably solve the problem.

But we're wondering if anyone else has had a probem with Weatherby triggers? Is this a problem with just his rifle or something across all Weatherby triggers?

,The Vanguards Gen 1 this is typical and if you adjusted it down your safety would not work. You are addressing it properly.

Was able to get my Gen 1 pretty smooth polishing with Jewelers Rouge, careful adjustment, and lubrication- but it took some work and the Timney would have been much easier for the same results ( or better).

Is it a vanguard S2 or an older model? Asking because the S2 has a different trigger

I have an S2. It has a nice 2 stage.
