[QUOTE="Mram10us, post: 1738381, member: 111667"] When I had my first rifle built, a 338 edge, I put a jewel br trigger on it. Went over to a very cold part of the state where it was snowing after big muleys. Had a nice four-point in my sights and I couldn’t get the firing pin to engage because the trigger had frozen up. Not the triggers fault, they just aren’t meant for that application. Took that trigger off and changed it out with a timney. Started playing with stock triggers and didn’t see a difference on paper. What do I use now? I have started taking the stock Rem 700 xmark trigger, polishing the mating surfaces lightly and changing out the spring with a lighter one. On paper, I have not been able to tell a difference. Only difference I have found is lighter the pull, the more accurate I am. If you are just getting started, there is nothing wrong with buying a $7 trigger spring rather than a $200 trigger and investing that money elsewhere. Flame suit on .... again ;) [/QUOTE]
