Canjar vs Keplinger for Ruger No.1

Folks,
I'm looking for pros / cons on these 2 triggers for a Ruger No.1.
How do you like them?
The two rifles are involved are a 1a-and an RSI.
The 1a is a .243 set up for 65 grain V Max coyote hunting, and the RSI is also a .243 but set up for deer hunting with Nosler 90 grain bullets.
Thank you in advance for your time, help and consideration.

Can't help with those two but JARD makes a pretty nice trigger setup for #1"s, too. If you aren't familiar with that give it a look.
 
Can't comment on the Keplinger, but have a friend who raves about it on his No.1. I have two Canjar's, one is on my No.1V 223, and after 20 years in the rat patch with it, no negative issues whatsoever, as it's one fine performing rifle after the work that every No.1 requires to shoot properly. The 'set' feature is pure joy to me.





I've got another Canjar single set on a Sako Vixen in 17M4 that I'm also quite fond of. I'd buy more if they were not now in the unobtainium category.
 
Thank you for your replies.
I've got a brand new Canjar & a used Keplinger .
Trying to make an informative decision of which to use.
I have a 1V 22-250 that I had Mark Penrod install a Canjar in,
he also bedded the action and free floated the barrel plus added a picatinny
rail so there is zero problem with eye relief. It's really a nice trigger. Working up a load for a powder and bullet she likes. I've got a lot of Nosler Varmagdedon FB tipped that should shoot.
Thank you once again.

I had a Canjar on a #1 in 280. It worked fine, never had a problem. Took a bit of tweaking to install.

I have no experience with the Canjar or Jard triggers but I love the 5 Kepplinger triggers in my Rugers. The two that Mark Penrod installed and the two that someone else installed and he reworked break at 20 oz. unset and 8 oz. set. The one that hasn't been reworked breaks at 3+ lbs. unset and will only stay set down to 12 oz. The two that someone else installed were like that before being redone. My No.1's and No.3's are heavy barrel varmint rifles built for prairie dog shooting. My age (78) and other things have them being used for shooting paper and the occasional coyote or groundhog here in Indiana for the last several years.
This is the best picture I have of the Kepplinger trigger and of a target showing that a No.1 will shoot.IMG_0749.JPGIMG_0743.JPG
