Timney replacement for Jewell?

[LCazador]

Anyone tried the Timney Hit trigger for the Remington 700? Has bolt release and safety and 8 ounce pull. The lever looks a bit straighter than the Jewell. I like that. Midway USA is out of stock already.

Bump.
They have been talked about here in the past as being a decent alternative. Maybe someone will chime in.

I had much rather have a Shilen!

I've got a couple Timneys not overly impressed but there not a comp trigger. I would like to try a Shilen on one of my Varment rifles. I just wished they had one that could be around a 1lb.

The Timney HIT is my go to trigger on my builds. They come out of the box at right about a 1lb setting and can be adjusted lower if needed. I use them all the time and have had nothing but rave reviews about them out of my clients. I like them a lot.

Is Shilen still making triggers?

I agree. I'm hanging on to mine.

It felt ok, but it had some creep in it. Not terrible. I wish the TT Diamond had a more narrow shoe.

Bix is as good as a jewel, but they require a lot of maintenance and I don’t like that.

Not really sure if Timney still makes the same Calvin Elite model that I have on my Rem M-7 Hunter but it works really well. I did some adjusting on it when I first put it on the rifle and have not bothered it since. I think it is @ 2 lb. or less pull but have not actually checked it with a pull gauge.

Yes Sir!

would you please expand on the B&A needing a lot of maintenance? I got a shilen, couldnt get a jewell, and it developed a bit of creep, got it adjusted out ok for now. If it dont work out, I'm going with the Sidhe.

They need to be opened up and cleaned regularly, and with each cleaning, you must reset the sear engagement. Bullet Central has a series of videos on this.

It’s not something I’m interested in.
