Trigger identification? Mod70 Win, post64

[IridiumRed]

Hi

I was wondering if anyone could identify this trigger? Its on a post64 model 70 (post 1968 i'm guessing, looking at bolt head). Push feed, non CRF.

Am buying rifle online, dont have in hand yet. Its all aftermarket parts on it, besides action. Seller doesn't know a lot about the rifle, just a gunshop that had it come in for sale. The rifle overall looks tastefully done, looks like all the parts on it are decent quality or better

I was just curious about who made the trigger. With all the people on here I know someone will probably identify it immediately. I dont know who made the barrel, I do know its a slightly tight neck .308 win (.340), as marked on barrel, so its already a bit more sophisticated then just average rebarrel job (this is on a target rifle). The nicer this trigger is, i'm betting the nicer the barrel is. and i'm just curious anyways

Anyways! If someone knows, its much appreciated

Looks like a Jewell

Without a better pic, its hard to say for certain, but agree with @Panhandlin Pat, appears to be a Jewel.

Thats awesome. Was thinking a Jewell was a real possibility, but haven't owned one / had one.

I'm guessing rifle was put together 10 to 20 years ago (just wild guess), and Jewell was def one of the top triggers available at time. Gives me good feeling about barrel maker, I'm betting its a quality one. I think its unmarked as to maker, but maybe i'll be surprised when i get it, pull action out of stock. 30" palma barrel, so maybe its tight bore? though, given they marked neck dia on barrel (visible with rifle assembled) if it was odd bore/groove size they might have marked that down too. But maybe all that is under the stock. We shall see...

I kind of have a habit of buying old match rifles. Really are some great deals out there, lots of this stuff goes for a lot cheaper than it would be to build new. Esp since i'm into .308/.30-06 rifles (I like the extra power, vs 6.5.... purely personal preference.... esp since i basically just shoot paper).

But not being an aftermarket action in a chassis stock, and not in a hot new .22 / 6mm / 6.5mm caliber, really makes those old target rifles cheap. Part of the fun of buying them is in wondering about their backstory, who built them, what they've done, etc. Kind of like surplus military rifles.... but the supply has dried up so much, prices have shot through the roof, there are a lot of plain jane ww2 surplus rifles (plain as in nothing too rare, but in decent original condition - but nothing mint condition either) selling for the same prices as these old match rifles. And, me being a shooter, I'd just rather have the match rifle. Personal preference, collecting old military rifles is great too dont get me wrong. I just lost interest when the prices got lots higher....

Typically i've found that they (old match rifles) usually have a bit of a theme overall - like a certain quality of parts overall. Low, mid, high grade, etc. Kinda find that you -USUALLY- dont find a rifle with a bunch of nice parts and then have some junk on it... unless maybe the junk was added by a 2nd / 3rd prior owner after the original owner/builder moved it along.... but who knows what that later owned did to the thing, so if i see obvious junk on a rifle, its a big red flag. I basically just buy online, if I had ability to handle rifle before buying it would make difference, but lots of times I just go by the quality of parts I can see, and how nice the rifle appears to have been machined / assembled.

Anyways, i'm rambling again, as usual, thanks for the help everyone. When i get rifle in hand I'll take it apart, take some photos and share, and share what trigger is actually in it (Im betting Jewell is correct)

Looks exactly like a Jewel to me too.

Cheers.
