These B&A‘s sure look good for a tactical trigger substitute.

Now that jewell Triggers is gone. Is there a Bench Rest Trigger available that is not 450 bucks that is a good trigger?

I've shot a Timney Benchrest trigger, Jewell Benchrest trigger and a Bix-n-Andy Competition trigger.

My answer to your question is simply....No.

Old post I know but.....what was your opinion of the Timney benchrest trigger?

The Timney was as good as my Jewell and I like my Bix-n-Andy better than both.

If all I had to use was a Timney benchrest trigger I couldn't complain.

USMCDOC any news on the trigger you are working on?

Does Kelbly’s or Shilen still make a BR trigger?

Shilen does, I just bought one from Northland.

I have one but was unable to install it in several Remington 700 clones. Took it to a gunsmith who was also unable to install it, and so it was sent back to Shilen. They tested the trigger on various actions and said it was fine, and returned it to me.

The difference between the Shilen and a Jewell or BixNAndy.... those designs are captured and there are no parts that need to be compressed to insert the pins, and no springs to worry about falling out, whereas this is not the case with the Shilen.

I had no idea there was a problem installing the Shilen trigger in the Rem 700 clones. I bought one to go in a Kauger BR2 action and I am hoping it drops in.

#Edit# I had to do some minor fitting to get the trigger to fit in the Kauger hanger, but it functions perfectly so far.

my new shilen would not center in my bat, but an older one did. ???????

Mine was a drop in on the “0” side of the hanger.

Can the Shilen be set to a 2 oz consistent release with no discernable creep in the Kauger?

Right out of the box, Mine WIILL NOT break at 3 ounces, WILL break at 4 ounce, and BREAKS LIKE GLASS. I’m happy with that, therefore I haven’t touched it.

 

[Raydee]

Installed a Shilen comp in my Kauger BR2 action and mine breaks clean at 2oz....actually feels like a little less to me with no creep at all. I am really liking it and will be buying these for future builds.

 

[ricco1949]

Thanks for the Kauger/Shilen info guys. Will give one a tryout on a BRIII.

I still have a bunch of left-handed Jewel HVR bolt release triggers if anybody wants some lefties I'll make you a deal on the whole batch.

Is it possible to remove the safety and bolt release and use it on a right handed action?

Probably.
