Gents,
I'm having some trouble with a trued up 700, and figured I'd post for some help.
I've got a 700 chambered in .260 that I'm wanting to use for LR F-Class. I've been using a TT Special "Black" trigger for the past few months, but really wanted something lighter than 1LB. I've used Jewell triggers in the past, so figured I'd go with them again.
It arrived this evening, and I can't get the thing to work reliably. I've set it up per the instructions ~5-6 times, and the best I can get it is to not slam fire if you VERY gingerly work the bolt.
I'm following these instructions:
http://www.accurateshooter.com/technical-articles/jewell-trigger-users-manual/
The trigger has the "B" spring installed now, but acted the same with the factory jewell installed spring.
I've used a Rifle Basix in this gun before that acted similarly; I just wrote that trigger off because I've seen reports elsewhere of RB triggers having issues.
Is there something else that could be causing this (maybe a worn out firing pin spring or assembly), or do I just suck with triggers?
