Does anybody else make an aftermarket trigger of a left hand 700 other than Timney?

Rifle Basix makes one similar to the Timney, Jewell makes a three lever design which can safely be taken down to a few ounces but they're about twice the cost of a Timney. Off the top of my head I think Shilen makes one but I'm not sure if it specifically takes a left hand safety.

Most of my LH rifles have a Timney... The Jewell is supposed to be a better trigger. However, I can't see that I would get 2x the improvement over the Timney for 2x the price...

Jewel is twice the trigger. Except most folks don't need the difference and can't tell the difference.

I'm looking too, but I'd like to use my old safety that locks the bolt. Not sure if it would work on a timney?

You could get the info straight from the horse's mouth. Ask a Timney Technician

You can still buy an old style trigger from Numrichs. Done properly, they're still as good as a timney or Shilen for a lot less money.
I've got a Timney, a Shilen, and a Jewell but I'm just as happy with old style factory Remington triggers after re=springing and a little polishing.

Yup -- Timneys are kinda Remington's with nuts instead of screws. I've "worked over" 4 older 700 LH triggers and have a Timney on one newer 700 LH VS. Can't really tell the difference.
