Trigger Options

[Mike in Oregon]

Need to hear what trigger your running in your Winchester Model 70 Varmint heavy barrel pre-MOA. I'm definitely wanting something that will adjust under a pound, if possible, as this will be shot off a bench.

Quality triggers I have used are on a M70 are:

• Anschutz (which requires a custom adaptor for a M70 and mods to the trigger too)
• Canjar
• CG Extreme
• Jewel
• Kenyon

Of all these the only one I know that you can buy new (actually a copy) is the Kenyon from Pacific Tool & Gauge. You can probably find a used Jewel if you are patient, the others will probably be harder to locate and of course expensive. The PTG Kenyon is pretty good though.

Kenyon sounds like it will fit my needs. Anyone have any experience with this trigger?

I inquired on the Kenyon a few years ago and they were unavailable. Jard also makes one but I couldn’t find anyone that had experience with it.

By chance can the factory trigger be worked to get at or under a pound?

I've done a lot them and M70's don't like to go that light and be reliable.

You may be stuck with a Rifle basix or Jard trying to get down to the 1lb unless you run across a Jewell.
This is were Rem 700's and clones shine is the after market parts.

I hear you on the 700 and clones! There's a Jewel in the ads, but doesn't say for what rifle.

I just got a shilen comp that is 2 — 6oz
on recommendation from smith doing my project. There is no safety on that model. They do offer a 2nd model with a bit higher range and a safety.
They also have a standard steel model and a stainless.
Fingers crossed it works out.
Good luck

I honestly don’t know. A quick search would possibly confirm

I have decided to do a Jard. I like the idea of swapping out a spring for different weight pulls. Thanks guys!
