If you are not that picky, then the ~$200 for a Jewell will probably ruin your day. It's a little overkill.

Go here:

... and adjust it yourself.

I have adjusted so many of these that I have lost count, and I have had only one that couldn't be safely brought down under 2 pounds.

If you don't need the safety and bolt release, you can get the Jewell for around $150.

I tend to be pretty tolerant to heavy triggers. All I really want is a clean break. But, if you've never experienced a Jewell, you should consider one.

I agree with rstreich, If you have never tried a Jewell you need to. After feeling my first one on a buddy's rifle I bought one. Now I have three of them. They are great clean crisp and adjustable. I have one set at 1.8oz one at 6oz and one at one pound.
Just MHO.
