[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 972897, member: 1521"] Jewells are quality triggers. Great for BR actions and free recoil shooting. But I don't like them for hunting. I like that they can be safely adjusted for very light pull, but they have practically zero travel. This leads to a jabbing trigger pull(no follow through) and temptation for swing shots (bad habits). I didn't realize this for a while, until I messed with a Tubb2000 with it's Anschutz 2-stage trigger. With this adjusted to lightest pull(~5-6oz), I had a very relaxing pull distance that nicely collapsed into fire, ensuring follow through. The precision in this improved my shooting and made it difficult to go back to jewell for anything but free recoil bag gun shooting. For hunting, I wanted 2-stage from then on. I installed a Bix & Andy on a BAT action recently and it gives me ~2-4oz with good travel. According to my son, it's not as good as 2-stage,, but better than Jewell. He's like a friggin gun whisperer and shoots better than me, so I'm gonna try it soon in a new hunting gun. That trigger assist I mentioned is '2-stage-like' in that it also collapses into fire with a smooth/light pull. [/QUOTE]
