[QUOTE="whitely, post: 269070, member: 5167"] Many people have had the same issue. The "problem" is that for heavier pulls, the trigger needs to push against a spring and move a tiny amount to achieve the intended pull weight. I had the same feeling with my Jewell, and that was the explanation I got when I called Jewell. The engagement screw can be turned in a little to tune the amount of take up. Check out [url=http://www.ada.ru/Guns/remington/Jewell/manual_en.htm]THE JEWELL TRIGGER MANUAL[/url] for directions on the adjustment. BUT, after you tune the engagement, you absolutely need to do the safety checks by cocking your rifle, and closing the bolt hard a number of times to make sure it won't fire when the bolt is cycled hard. Decreasing the engagement too much will result in an unsafe rifle. I had the same issue, and wound up putting a tuned factory trigger on my LR rig, and putting the Jewell on my varmint rifle. The 8oz pull on my varmint rifle is soooo nice. [/QUOTE]
