AVOID the Jewell unless your shooting benchrest competetion. I'll go right out and say buy a Shilen, and be done with it for about half the price tag. Nothing is wrong with a Jewell, but they are not made for field use. Have to be cleaned and flushed all the time. And even better one is the Kelby design, but I think it's another hundred bucks. Then there are a couple that come out of Europe that make all these like also runs. I might add that I will not be out in the field with anybody that's using a two ounce trigger! Maybe a 10oz one, but forget all that two ounce stuff

Sounds like you may not be familiar with Jewell triggers. Two models, bench and field. Bench comes preset at 3oz. Field (hunting) is adjustable from about 3 to 48 oz's. Both are machined to the same tolerances. I don't know of anyone who cleans or flushes " all the time". I'm on barrel 4 (almost 10k rounds) on my 6BR and have yet to touch the trigger. Favorite hunting rifle has had a Jewell for its' 17 year lifespan thusfar, used at least 6 months out of the year and has never been touched.
Any problems I've seen with a Jewell involved an amateur adjusting it without using the factory procedure or oiling it.
Ahhhhh Haaaaaaaa----There you go....
This guy is in the weeds----I have Jewell's on all of my sporters. If your smith knows what he is doing and you clean it as directed with lighter fluid you will be fine. The BR trigger is vastly different than the one for sporters. NO SAFETY!
If you cannot tell the difference between a Jewell and the others then you might just stay with the Remmy and have the smith work on it.
Well Boss ..... guess not everybody knows that if it's made in San Marcus it has to be good!
