Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters JB or others any thoughts on trigger tech?

Sorry John I just saw this. No I have not used a Jewell trigger. In fact I have factory triggers on my all of my rifles short of the TT on my Bergara rimfire (that a forum member was able to get me dealer pricing on), a Blackburn on a Mauser and Geissele's and CMC's on my AR's. The TT is set at a very crisp 16 oz.

Thanks, Ed.

Yeah, I have a bunch of different triggers on my rifles as well--as with yours the vast majority factory, as I discovered when going through my list of rifle. They several set-triggers, ranging from recent CZ single-sets to much older double-sets, such as the one on my German custom 8x57, which was built around a century ago.

I asked partly because Phil Shoemaker told me one of his brown bear clients had Jewell on his rifle, for whatever reason, and it failed-to-fire on the first opportunity durig the hunt--probably because Jewells have plenty of tiny parts, which could easily gum up.

Have REALLY liked the pull on Jewells, and also on a few specialty sub-pound triggers, down to 2 ounces--but prefer simpler on big game rifles used in a wide variety of conditions.

Just installed one in a new to me 700 ADL 222.

One more to go, just can't decide whether to stick it in a Custon Shop 7-08 or my old BDL 6mm.

Mine showed up today. For all the bitching about optics planet, it was pretty fast and the shipping up here was reasonable. I can also verify that the trigger itself says 1.0 to 3.5 pounds, which is the same as my specials.

Got one from OP and one from EO, both marked 1.5-4.0 lbs on the trigger housing and the box. Both red on safety side and blue on bolt release side with a SS curved finger groove blade and SS Safety Lever/BR Arm. I removed the BR arm as these will go on Origin Actions.

My hunting rifles set at around 2 lbs, Tactical/Precision at 1.0-1.5 lbs and Benchrest style at just under a pound. These will work for most of my shooting and a decent deal for $100-$120.
