Well, it started Jewell Trigger heist!

[Old Navy]

All of my competition rifles have aftermarket triggers except one. That one is a Savage with an Acutriger. It breaks around 1.2# and I have to get used to it all over every time I use that rifle. I prefer a light but not too lite pull, around 4-6 oz. I currently have 2 Jewells, one Hart, one Shilen and another on the way for a new build. Honestly I have no issues with any of them.

Good job on the Savage. I could not get either of mine safely below 4 ozs. and they varied between 4 and 6 on any given day. And they were not twins on the feel.

When you open JEWELLS web page it tells you why they are not taking orders. If you will look on my web site, the prices are current and INSTOCK. Why drive 45 min to find a closed door, when I deliver a HVRTS for $205.00. LDS

I thought it might have been because Arnold Jewell died, but guess not.

For those who are concerned about price or availability, it's
as simple as going to my web site. The only model, that I'm out of
is the BR(JT11). Sorry I dont stock any parts at all. I Want to be your JEWELL
TRIGGER DEALER. LDS

He's saying (I think) 1.2 pounds! I tried a factory model 12 savage and 6 oz was as light as I could get it! It felt like I was pulling a truck compared to the 1- 1.5 oz triggers

No sir, as Arnold turned it over to his Son many years ago.

Jewells are great if you get a good one. What most call blue printing is just polishing side plates and internal parts and does little to nothing. Recutting the sear surfaces makes then like a bix. By the time you do that you might as well buy one.

I install a very light firing pin spring in my bolt when fitting a trigger to one of my rifles. The first time I did this, I was surprised at how much force it takes for the initial break on a Jewell.

 

[boltman13]

Yes my Savage Acutriger breaks at about 1.2 pounds. I wish it was ounces but sadly it isn't.

Take the red blade and spring out.

Can someone tell me how to identify an older Jewell BR from a newer one?

Personally, I like the squish in a Jewell.

 

[Thekaiser]

The Bix is not in same category as the Jewel. Tell that guy to go pound sand...

Your're right. Bix N Andy is way above!

 

[FNSafari]

Your're right. Bix N Andy is way above!

price wise, for sure!

 

[Shooter13]

Take the red blade and spring out.

That is how we got to 6 Oz, less than that we got slam fires

 

[Nick Caprinolo]

I don't understand the problem here with trigger pull. I like my very light. Have no trouble getting the Jewel down to 1.5 OZ or less. They come with several springs and using the lightest one always works. As for price, really does not appear as though it has changed. Stick with Scott and you won't be sorry.

If you are having trouble with them, you are doing something wrong.

 

[Edd]

I only have hunting rifles and I only have 4 Jewell triggers but I've ordered each of them with a 3.5 lb pull.

The reason I ordered a 3.5 lb pull is because they didn't offer me a 4 lb pull.

I've seen the slam fire on a Savage taking out the blade and spring also

 

[rjtfroggy]

I've got my PTA trigger at 7ozs., took a lot of tinkering to get it there. Any lower and it trips, but it is heavy compared to my 2oz. Jewel or the 2oz. competition in the other Savage action. Savage could go lower on their BR rifles but I'd be willing to bet the lawyers say no no.

I agree, stick with LDS, I've never gotten an extra spring with any Jewell. My last Jewell from Larry was a few months ago and no extra spring, I got it down to 1.43 oz. I guessing you can order the springs?

Yea, you can order the A B & C springs from Jewell. The C spring is the lightest pull. Not hard to swap out and of course re-adjust.

Remove the small set screw in the trigger shoe itself.

Replace with desired spring then re-install the set screw and re-adjust
