with jewell out of business(for the near future), what are BENCHREST shooters using for triggers?

[762plinker]

just to be clear,this is about BENCHREST RIFLES.
so i find myself short one trigger and no jewells to be had.
as a temp fix i can steal a trigger from another rifle, but that is a bandaid not a real fix.
i have one bix and nothing wrong with it other than the price.
there is a waitng list for the italian trigger..

Just to be clear, as I understand it, Jewell is NOT out of business but is searching for a new source for either parts or labor...or both. So, I guess they are out of business but hopefully temporarily rather than long term, which is more how I read their update posted here a few days ago. I need a couple myself so I hope its fixed soon, too.

I guess if we pierced a primer and break a Jewell we’re out of luck now too?

Check the specs of the rifles used, when the owner/shooter lists them, you will find many other triggers are being used. Take your pick.

Shilen makes a great trigger. Many great Benchrest shooters like Lou Murdica swear by them. I have seen to many people have issues with a BnA. Never have had a single issue with a Shilen

I don't shoot BR, but I have Jewell and Shilen triggers and like them both. I had picked up a used rifle with an old Shilen that had issues. I sent it back, they had excellent service and replaced the parts for a very reasonable fee, called me when it was done and asked what weight I wanted it set to. Total turnaround was 2 weeks.

Well i think i accedently deleteed my own post. I have this trigger. It's a fantastic trigger that doesn't suffer the same problems the b&a have been noted for.

thanks but honestly i am trying to stay out of 400-500 dollar triggers....maybe not possible

TriggerTech might be worth a look. I have a couple of their AR triggers and I'm very happy with them. I'm going to try a Diamond one of these days.

Taiwan could probably supply these parts.. Wait: Soon to be taken over by CCP..
Rifle Basix should buy Jewell. Rifle Basix has a contractor in SC make the parts.. Or just buy a Rifle Basix Trigger..

yes i did say BENCHREST ONLY...some are skipping that qualifier

yes i did sy BENCHREST ONLY...some are skipping that qualifier

In my experience the trigger techs are okay on hunting, fun and maybe prairie dog rifles, I've got a lot of Jewells for bench rest and I like them, one of my friends has several B&As and they are every bit as good as a jewell, different but good. I also have a couple of old Shilens that are pretty good and I've never tried adjusting them. But before I paid 4 or 500$ for a darn trigger I would try a Shilens, I've heard several folks say the new ones are good, my 2 cents worth, John

They don’t go low enough.

I have several Shilen Competition triggers...good stuff and very overlooked. The adjustments not being easily accessible is a bit of a pain, compared to a Jewell.

The best thing you can do to make a B&A better is to go inside the trigger and buff the contact points just like Alex Wheeler pointed out years ago. About a half hours work. I've done all 31 that I own and not a problem since and I've had a few that had issues prior to me working on them.
