[QUOTE="Broz, post: 466313, member: 7503"] I have Jewells and others. The problems I dont think are as much brand related as the range of pull weight. I think all of the 8 oz trigger and lower are subject to be a bit finiky once in a while. They also need flushed with lghter fluid occassionally. I have had two fail and it is scary stuff. They would both fire on bolt lift. One was a new 1 day old jewell. I was shooting a group and could feel something was wrong as it was not going off and I had pulled hard enough. I was prone so I rolled up on one elbow and went to lift the bolt so the rifle would be in a safe position. Imagine a 338 Rum wth a 300 smk firing when all you had ahold of was the bolt handle. Glad it was pointed in a safe direction. So in reguards to your post, I would go for a trigger that had an adjustment range from 1 1/2 to 3 Lbs or more. I feel those type triggers are of a more stable mechanical nature by design and will serve you better in cold or dusty conditions. Jeff gun)gun) [/QUOTE]
