[QUOTE="jmden, post: 176113, member: 1742"] I just replaced a RB EVR-3 in my Rem700 BDL with a Jewell. Came set at 1 lb with no creep. Perfect. RB safety wouldn't work well. Detent (ball bearing) ball would gall Al housing to the point that I couldn't work the safety reliably unless the bolt was up. Just goobered up the Al housing terribly. Talked to RB and while on the phone, he directed me to stone polish the surface of a part of the trigger--don't know what the name of it was--with the intent, at least from my perspective that this would help or allevite the safety problem. He is very adament (understatement) that safeties shouldn't used, but I kinda think they should work on a $130 tirgger. He said to send it to him and I said after elk season. Sent it back to RB after elk season. They said it worked fine in their test 700. What?!! OK, I'm done. Fortunately, Midway generously took it back and sent me the Jewell. A bit of inletting, a very small bit of lube to get the bolt release to work reliably and that's it. I've put in Timney, RB and now Jewell's in this thing and the Jewell was the easiest. The exterior safety mech. on the Jewell appears to have less to go wrong than with all the parts that can potentially fly apart when using the stock safety mech. Also the fact that the Jewell is 100% stainless just makes one less thing to worry about in your rifle. Just spend the money for the Jewell is the lesson this shooter learned... Good luck. [/QUOTE]
