Rifle Basix does make very fine triggers.
Over the past decade, as hunters have become more "sophisticated" about their rifles, I have seen more triggers fail on expensive hunts than I have scopes.
Delicate elegance always comes at a price. When you are dealing with dangerous game it can be a pretty steep price.

We need another line to the old song
"You don't tug on Superman's cape, you don't pizz in ol' Phil's beer."
Telling Phil that his opinions re rifle durability/reliability are groundless would have been like telling Cooper he didn't know handguns.

Jewell's are for targets that don't fight back and for games where you get credit for an alibi
Timney's are for all the others Really...how much did you have to drink to come up with this gem of azzholetude,based on what? CF Classic.....  I gotta frame this one.  458 has likely killed more BG under tough field conditions than most have seen walking around.... This is very funny stuff.

I took a little time to check out some of rockchuck828's past posts. While this recent one is his all-time classic, he's no stranger to calling other Campfire members people stupid, with no real evidence supplied to support his reasoning. There's also precious little evidence of him doing much big game hunting, either, which may explain his user name.
Of course, he could be an Alaskan Master Guide, widely experienced Rocky Mountain elk outfitter, or grizzled African PH who's guided clients to 1000 Cape buffalo. But who knows?

Here's a good example of what MD is talking about, rockpuck's target was me, so that's concrete proof he's full of it: This is perhap's the funniest post of all, a dumbfounded [bleep] thinking he has a clue of what is going on , when he has not read the entire post and what lead to it

They work fine and hold up well. I like Rifle Basic better. Nicer trigger shoe. dave

Well, all pizzing matches aside, I think this thread had helped me to decide to try a Jewell on a M700 varmint rifle I'm throwing together, but probably not on anything I might use for deer or elk. No big deal, I can stand a 2.5 to 3 pound trigger on a game rifle. And if the Jewell goes down, there's at least one other backup in the truck.
This is a shooting forum, there is no place here for logic.

Your memory is not very good...you proved your stupidity with the Over Bore cartridge thread and I proved you wrong, you shat yourself and have been crying like a little girl ever since.

It does not bother me getting insulted by loser's like nsaqam, but it really hurt's coming from an over rated gun scribe  dont know how I will get over it.

Well, it's good to see that you can recognize sarcasm and self-deprecation for what it is. Dumb-ass.
