Bix,n Andy Vs Jewel trigger for F class and BR?

[maxpower]

I have 2 new builds going together. One is a Panda in 6 Dasher for 1000yd LG, the other is a Pierce in 300WSM for F Class. So far I have one trigger (a Jewel) for either and am looking for another. What is the real world benefit of a more expensive Bix,n Andy over the jewel?
What ever trigger I fit to the Panda will be set at 2oz, while the trigger in the Pierce will be set around 8 Oz. Would any of these triggers be more suited to either action? Is there any real benefit of the super expensive Bix,N Andy over a Jewel if it is going to be set at 2oz or 8oz?

The Bix is smoother. The design allows the top lever to drop more quickly from the firing pin cocking piece and because the top lever only requires a very light reset spring, it creates less drag on the cocking piece as the firing pin travels over it.

And so does this give better ignition and accuracy?

It should help. Also if you blank a trigger the Bix won't break like the Jewel will. Matt

I have had a few Jewels and have not had a problem with them, but I did put a Bix'n Andy on my latest rifle. OK I am no expert on triggers and for me, if the rifle goes bang when I squeeze the trigger, then it has done its job. I am curious to hear though, whether the Bix'n Andy triggers are more reliable than others when used in dusty environments or when powder granules, grass and crud might get into the trigger as in with F class rifles which are shot in dust, mud, grass etc.
If you want to compare triggers, I am keen to hear how the Flavio Fare triggers compare to the Bix'n Andy triggers.

On a Kelbly Panda I would use a Kelbly Trigger. Nothing is better.

Would you say the Kelbly is better than a Jewel on Panda, or any other action? If so, why?

A BIX is not supposed to slam fire. Something the other triggers will do. Matt

I just bought a Flavio after buying 6 B&A'S. All I can say is I never thought a B&A could be topped, but I was wrong. Go to Benchrest Central and read a thread on the Rimfire benchrest forum on Flavio Fare' triggers. The guy who wrote it is spot on IMO.

Set at 8oz id go with the kelbly

Why is this? Better reliability? Accuracy?

An 8oz bix'n andy is kind of a waste. Its designed to have a consistent pull weight in sub ounces. The kelbly trigger is as smooth as any at 6-10oz, has stellar customer service and is priced right.

I've had better than a dozen Jewel triggers over the last decade. I broke one of them when I was first testing my 6.5x47 back in 08. It was totally my fault. Jewel repaired it quickly and at minimal cost. By far though the best one I've had was blueprinted by Speedy.
