I was going to say trigger tech too. That was not an option but I do like them.

I have a jewell and a Timney Calvin elite. Of the two, I like the Timney better. The jewell will get ridiculously light but the Timney is a shade crisper.

Trigger Tech Diamond but I really shouldn’t vote since it’s setting on a shelf and not in a the rifle yet.

The timney I had was not as good as a Tikka with the Ernie’s spring in it. I can’t recommend it.

Timney. If you still just north of me, you can come by and try mine out, if that helps at all.

Jewell, Timney, trigger tech special, Bix/Andy

All are well above factory. They are close enough to just go with best deal

Well crap, now I can't remember now and it doesn't say on it. It is not C Elite or the HIT. It's black and after looking at their site I'm thinking maybe they don't make it anymore or the HIT replaced it.

You going to play in the dirt like GI joe?

Is this a table cannon?

Do you want an ounce range trigger?

If your gonna buy a Jewell and run it at a pound or more just buy a timney.

If you want an ounce range trigger buy the Jewell

If you want something in the middle trigger tech diamond is a nice one.

Hunting is going to get it dirty. A dirty Jewel will break down, meaning fail to fire.

I have helped replace a bunch of them, on shooting mats, in the middle of shooting a PRS match. And guys that run Jewels carry a sprae trigger in their pack. What does that tell you?

Fireman is dead on! Its not a matter of if but when they fail! and the WHEN will cost you especially on a bad a$$ elk trip or something similar, its just not worth the risk on such a small part

BiX n andy are starting to look good just haven't put them through harsh environments yet but they really break nice. One thing you might consider is a two stage trigger if you like that style, they seem to be getting popular. IMO Trigger tech primary or diamond

They are ok. I have one in my Fierce Rival 28. I’d put Timney well a head of it. But could just be the model I have
