Jewell trigger?

[Randy Dunn]

Hello Everyone,
Are there, and if so what are the draw backs to installing a Jewell trigger on a hunting rifle. I notice a lot of custom gun makers offer their BR or varmit rifles with Jewell triggers but when it comes to the hunting rifles it is usally a Rifle Basix, Timney, or Shilen. Is there a reason for this like a dependability problem with the Jewell or is it that most people do not want to spend the money to put a Jewell on their hunting rifle? I am looking for a top of the line stainless trigger.

Thanks for any input,
radunn

I hunt with a Jewell trigger. It is an exellent trigger and I have not had a problum with it.

I dont think youll find any dependability problems with the jewell hvr.Its adjustable from "way too light to be on a field gun" to 4.5 lbs.I sent two to borden to have installed on the actions from him and will soon have another on my sendero.That being said,there is nothing wrong with the other triggers you list and all of them have probably been used on everything from some kind of competition gun to big game rifles.For me,I guess I go with jewell for the confidence factor.If you have something on your gun you feel you dont have confidence in,it shouldnt be there.

Hi i have fitted 2 Rifle Basix triggers for customers and can get a better feeling trigger out of doing a trigger job to their existing rem triggers i will never own one. I have a few Jewels now and will buy no other rem style trigger i have a HVR set to 6 oz with a bottom safety for my 338WBX as it will be sleved and also have a detachable mag i want to have better bedding surfaces so not having to cut out for the top safety is a plus. I also have a 3 position Gentry Safety going on the rifle the trigger safety is just for added security. The beauty of the Jewell is you can order it direct fron Jewell and have it pre set at the factoru to your desired trigger weight and they are almost perfect when placed onto any action.
