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

They’re not once you understand why, in fact, they’re a better mousetrap.

but i do not see them as better..i have a b/n a ...but i do not see feel the 200-300 dollar difference.

Well, a fact for you. Now in CFBR most actions have good ignition….in RFBR ignition can be marginal.
That said when B&A‘s came on the scene, it was shown that when the trigger breaks, the top sear bar drops down with something like 70% less resistance, often the Jewels will allow the striker surface to drag over their bar.
Never going to feel anything much with a 1-2 oz trigger, but there is an engineering improvement important to ignition in many actions.
Works for me.

i have nothing wrong with growth and improvement...i just choke on double plus pricing.
maybe just me..i found three jewels this week

The price difference comes from having a precision machined housing instead of sheet metal stampings.

 

[762plinker]

sorry i do not see 200 plus dollars in the housing...but that is just me.done discussing prices

I advise my clients to store their rifles muzzle down after cleaning, really helps keep the trigger clean/dry

if they were actually clean it would not matter

if they were actually clean it would not matter

lots of people store their rifles with a thin film of oil in the bore, gravity is a thing

I'll put this here.
Johnny,
I am sending you the presentation of the triggers that we produce now. As you will see, the Br trigger mechanism has remained the same, we have only closed the cases, a modification much appreciated by our shooters. Unfortunately we still don't have dealers in the USA. I know that some shooters from USA take the older model from Canada from : https://store.xtremegunshootingcent...e=product_info&cPath=158_161&products_id=1303

Instead, the new model will be shipped from Australia, where we sell a lot.

Best Regards

I got to laugh at some of these guys. Their the ones who buy a 5K rifle and put a 2 dollar Tasco scope on it. Spend the GD money and put a real trigger on it because when your on the wrong side of the dirt you can't take that extra 250 bucks with you.

some how i am betting you are not living on a low fixed income...i see no need for a 500 dollar trigger when a 200 works well.......i bought 3 more jewels this week..i'm good

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

Exactly. Shilens have been used for years on years.

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

Jewell, to my understanding is still available for repairs. LDS

I just got an email from them on Friday to send my trigger in for repair, after an inquiry if they were still able to. It's going out Tuesday.

I broke a sear recently, contacted Jewell, they said send it in and it was on its way back 6 days later. Depends whether they have the repair parts or not I guess. Worth a call if you have trouble with one.

The Rifle Basix L-3 Target trigger is a 2-6 oz. trigger. It has a wider shoe like a factory Remington. I haven't had any issues with the one I have.

Al, does the L3 use the standard Kelbly trigger hanger? --Greg

Greg, the one I have is in a standard 700. But since that's the pattern, I can't imagine it wouldn't work. A couple of Timneys I've used in hangers needed the front rounded edges shortened a bit. -Al

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.

Have a single stage diamond in an AR. Fantastic trigger.


Also, triggertech could probably widen their market if they reduced the pull weight on the diamond from 4oz to 2oz. I've never shot a 2oz trigger 4oz is plenty for me right now.
