I have used nothing but Jewell triggers in my custom rifles and never had any issues. Hearing a lot about TriggerTech these days...whats the scoop??
I am interested in the TriggerTech Special and Diamond triggers.

I haven’t used the Jewel but I can tell you the Triggertech Diamonds are awesome. I can’t imagine wishing for better.

I have a half dozen jewels and one Trigger Tech special I just bought for a 700 Ti. I am very impressed with the Trigger Tech. I haven’t talked to anyone who disliked one after trying it, but like a lot of other things triggers are a personal thing. They are in the same league, you are probably going to have to try one to see what you think.

I go against the grain and still prefer the pull of a properly tuned Jewell. That said, the TriggerTech pull is still very good and is a safer, more reliable design. For a hunting rig there no reason to not go with Triggertech.

For a hunting rifle I sure like the TirggerTechs. I'm down to only 1 Jewell which will soon be replaced by a TT. For me anyway I much prefer the trigger shoe width on the TT, the Jewell has always seemed kind of thin to me.

I love my Triggertech primary. Couldn’t recommend something more highly.

The Diamonds have no equal. That’s compared to Jewels, Hubers, Bix&Andys, Calvin Elites, standard Timneys, Rifle Basix, etc etc. Wish they’d hurry up and get the 2 stages out....
The Primarys are very solid as well.

I know everyone loves Jewell triggers. I personally have had only one, on a Surgeon 7STW. I only shot factory ammo and never had any ammo problems. After 60 or so rounds the trigger died. I called Jewell. Guy who answered only spoke Spanish. I speak Spanish but wanted a second guy who spoke English in case conversation got complicated. I returned it to Jewell for repair. It had broken a lever inside. I waited a long time for return and finally called again. They had lost the trigger in the shop, finally found it, and were now going to work on it. A week or two later they called back for $75 payment for repair. They said the only way the lever could have broken was if I had blown a case, and the back pressure had broken the trigger lever, and it would cost me. No such thing had happened. Obviously no warranty for a faulty product. True story and I swear to it. I love Triggertech. Also very good experience with Timney and Shilen.

I've heard sand/dirt and Jewell's don't get along too well. Anybody experienced problems due to that??
I had 6 or 7 at one time mounted on rifles, and only have one left.

I've had both;The Jewell feels like it has creep to me when adjusted over a pound. The TriggerTechs are very crisp. I also have always been concerned with popping a primer with the Jewell as they are fragile triggers. The TriggerTechs are priced right and are frictionless. The CLKR feature in adjusting pull weight makes it pretty fool proof. Each click of the pull weight adjustment screw is about ~1 oz. on the Primary.

I have one Jewell and three Trigge rtech's I do not have a Diamond and personally for me don't see a need for it. The Primary and Specials are great.
