Anyone had any issues with them freezing up on a hunting rifle? I was going to order one for my 700 KS but read some old chatter that a few guys reported that they had them freeze up in the field. I know Jewell are the Gold Standard for BR Rifles, but the tolerances may be too tight for a hunting rifle.

I have Jewells and like them a great deal. I do not rely on them for a hunting rifle, however, for just the reasons you cite. I'm hoping that the Triggertech proves up in the field because I really like the trigger pull, but I think any enclosed trigger runs some risk of freezing. Close tolerance ones all the more.

I have a couple of Jewell triggers in predator rifles that have never been a problem. And I certainly don't baby them. Any trigger that gets moisture in it can freeze up. If you are talking about a Remington rifle, the one thing that can be a problem is that some Jewells increase the firing pin fall and cock on close. It can cause tune issues depending on the individual rifle.

I have several on Remington sporters and never had one freeze or otherwise malfunction. The only thing that I would wish for is a slightly wider trigger shoe without the sharp edges to make it easier when wearing a glove.

Yes I have had them fail. Wasn't freezing weather but dust/dirt that caused the issue with mine. I went to TriggerTech for my big game rifles but still run the Jewells on my varmint rifles.
