New Trigger Suggestion?

[yukonal]

I'm building a new 6BR for F-Class and need to buy a trigger. It's going on a BAT action.

Can you guys suggest a trigger for me?

And, what trigger pull weight should I be looking at?

My current F/TR rifle's trigger is at 1.65#.

 

[RStewart]

The Jewell BR is set at 1.5 ozs. The Jewell HVR comes with 3 different springs so you can set it from 1.5 oz. to 3.5 lbs.
If you want an all around trigger, I recommend the HVR.

 

[Steve Blair]

For F-Open, Jewell BR.

 

[RStewart]

For F-Open, Jewell BR.

If dedicated for strictly F-Open, I agree. Thats the one I have on my FTR .223.

 

[yukonal]

Would a trigger with a bit more pull weight be out of the question?

Does anyone make one with say, a pull weight between 8 oz and 1#? Not really sure I can warm up to a 3 oz trigger weight.

 

[Steve Blair]

Once you use a 2oz. Jewell on your 6BR, you will never go back to a heavier trigger for F-Open.

And I will provide a respectful counterpoint to Steve's suggestion... I can shoot a 2 oz trigger off the bench without issue, couldn't do it prone... Went to a Jewell HVR and have it set at 8 oz.... Perfecto for me & my F/Open rigs..

The HVR comes with 3 sets of springs so you can change weights to get it where you want it.

What's a bench? J/K. I have only shot prone FTR and FPR, so I didn't have a transition to make.
To most people the ideal setting is around 6-8 ozs. I guess I'm a sadist at 1.5. Having said that, I am building a .308 FTR/FPR rifle. It will have the HVR trigger on it set at around 8 ozs.

1.5 oz trigger? That's crazy!!!, who would shoot something that heavy?

I blueprinted my Jewell and it is set at 1 oz, now I don't have to feel like I need a winch to pull that heavy a$$ 1.5 oz trigger! ;D

 

[ARIZONA_F_CLASS]

Jewell HVR 6.5oz


1oz trigger? is that the one that if you think about pulling the trigger, the round is already down range! lol

I tried a friends 1.5 oz trigger at 100 yards. 2 shots went off when I wanted them too. And 2 went off when I didn't, Good thing was that I was already on target and did 2 bug holes. ;D

Then what are you complaining about?
It does take a little getting used to for sure.

A little? Oh I get it, I just have to learn how to stop my heart from beating when I'm on the trigger. Damn pulse!!!!! lol

Al,

I use a Jewell HVR, @ 1#

I like to feel the trigger a bit. Haven't tried dialing it down.

Doesn't take long to get used to it. Before you know it, your trigger finger will be spoiled and in need of all new triggers! ;D

Has anyone tried a CG Jackson tactical trigger yet? if so, how are the adjustments? The only 2 stage trigger i have experience with is on my TRG-42.
Thanks
