[QUOTE="trebark, post: 1042765, member: 19172"] Jewell is best...bar none, plain and simple. It's simply the trigger you should get and not ever look back. Timney is ok but it's not a Jewell. Buy the Jewell. NEVER, NEVER get a Rifle Basix. Two of my friends who are some of the best and smartest longrange shooters I know have had Rifle Basix triggers on their rifles at one time. Both of them have had their triggers fail at the worst possible moment (one during a hunt and the other during a tactical rifle match). By fail, I mean that the trigger quickly crept up in amount of force to pull the trigger until it got to the point it wouldn't work at all. My one friend sent his trigger back and had the factory repair it. He put it back on his rifle and in a short time the trigger failed again. He threw it in the trash. When my other friend's trigger failed, knowing my other friends experience, he just threw his away too. So I'll repeat, NEVER, NEVER get a Rifle Basix. Also, I would generally agree that for a 300RUM that is capable of reaching out waaay over there, I would recommend a lighter trigger pull than 2lbs. Personally, my longrange rigs are set at 1lb. There's nothing unsafe about 1lb as long as the trigger is reliable and you are well trained and comfortable with it. [/QUOTE]
