Lumley Arms — Tikka T1x/T3/T3x & Sako trigger spring kit (1 / 1.5 / 2 lb)

Before you buy
- Check whether you need right or left hand and which safety style.
- Any setting below 2.5 lb is outside Tikka's spec, so do a bump test and safety check.
- If you aren't trained, have a gunsmith install it.
- Compare in the planner.
