I have (2) Calvin Elite triggers and the rest are older walker style 700 factory triggers adjusted. I typically set mine at 2 1/4 to 2.5 lbs of pull....all on hunting rifles PASS IT ON!

Once you try a TriggerTech trigger, you will understand.. Agreed..... TTs sear engagement design sets it apart from the rest. The concept may be being used in others that I’m overlooking, but nothing comes close to the consistentcy and break of the Diamond IMO. Not Tubbs, not Hubers, not Jewells, not Calvin Elites or B&As.

Remembering your post ...you got me to look at the website, look at the youtube and order one. https://triggertech.com/pages/how-it-works https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLlXKBGoBc4 What will I do with all those Timney triggers still in the package? I will go to my brother's house and replace his Rem 700 triggers with Timney triggers for safety.

I thought he was just helping his buddies and ordered a Jewell. So it was Defiance in 2018 + Redneck in 2019 that triggered the persuasion to look deeper.

The main difference between the different lines is the pull weight range. Before I ordered my first TT, I quizzed them via direct message asking about the differences between Primary, Special & Diamond. Jordan's comments here pretty well align with what I understood from them.Pretty much the difference is pull weight. I have a couple of Timney triggers, and they are great, The TT's I have are just.....better, and I only have the primary's. I have shot a Bergara with the Special and honestly couldn't tell the difference compared to the Primary. Don't speculate when you don't know, and don't second guess when you do.

Got a nice deal at $140 shipped. If it's close to the Jewell I have on my 7-08, I'll be happy.

I've sent Calvin Elites, Jewells, etc. down the road since buying my first Bix. The TT primary is nice but I actually prefer the older Timney 510 or the tuned up Walker I have. If I were searching for a great single stage now, I'd agree the TT Diamond is where its at. The one I used was outstanding. 'Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.' -Carl Sagan
