I've been building target rifles for 25 or so years and until recently I've never about trigger timing. Exactly what is it and how do you go about doing it? Thanks

Do a search rere

I found a good discussion in the archives here via a Google search on Rifle trigger timing. There is lots of info.
 
Pete;
Thank you very much. You were right. Now I have something to go on. I hope that 2014 is going to be a good year for you. Thanks again

Hi Dan, when you say striker I guess you are talking about the bit I, and a lot of others seem to refer to as the cocking piece?
It seems to me that the hand off has changed with recent manufacture 700s, as I havn't been able to get as good results as previously with both Shilen and Rifle Basix triggers, and all I can pin it down to is the geometry of the bolt/sear relationship.
In the past I have associated the "bolt timing" aspect more towards primary extraction but this has brought up a new aspect to it.
 
It A Problem Paul

I think the solution is to cut the cocking piece back until one gets the amount of pin fall they are looking for. I shot my Myers yesterday with a trigger I had on hand that has a shorter sear bar than my Jewell and it seems to work very well. Made the rifle a pleasure to use, I will say that. Any of these issues can be overcome. Just takes a little thinking and the right tools for the job.

Thanks very much once again Dan, I really appreciate the time you take to share your knowledge, and that you share it so freely.
It will take me some time to digest all that for sure.
