Jewell Trigger Warning
If you are at all sensitive to trigger weight don't ever install one of these and expect to be able to use your 'normal' weight triggers again....

You might swear not to adjust it down, trust me you will gradualy get it down to perfection. The next time you try to shoot your old pride and joy you'll think you forgot to cock it....

I understand just what your are saying.
Talking about triggers, I have a brand new Shilen competition trigger for the Rem 700. No safety. Pull weights of 2 to 6 oz.
I will sell it for $60 or best offer. PM me if anyone is interested.

The Jewells sure are nice triggers. Pretty addictive stuff.

Of late I had problems with one creeping, and had to have it sent back to Jewell. Some people claim the Jewell is not as nice as it used to be?? Be that as it may, when they work, they are close to perfection.

It's the leverage thing. For instance, I can make one little ($75.00 plus shipping) modification to the Ruger number one trigger and without changing it's actual tripping weight of nearly fifty pounds, reduce the feel to one pound. Big Grin
