Upgrade to a Jewell?

The trigger (rem 700) on my Gordy Gritters custom .280 Ackley, which I had coated with a product called Micro-slick went south. Apparantly the micro-slick, which was a rust preventative coating was a bad batch. Where I hunt, it rains alot and the trigger started to rust on the inside. I sent the trigger off and had it cleaned up and re-coated. My problem now is, I can't get that last bit of creep out of it. It doesn't do it all the time, but every once in a while I feel it.

Should I send the trigger back to Gordy and have him re-set the angles, or upgrade to a Jewell and just be done with it?
 
Don't buy the Jewell unless that is your only rifle. One is OK. You buy the first, it won't be your last. That first Jewell could cause long term repetative financial expenditures.:D

They are VERY good!
 
Do Not Buy A Jewell!!!!!!!!













































You will never be happy with another trigger!!!!:D

And where was all this advice 2 months ago. I picked up a Jewell for my 6BR and now I have three other rifles that I just about can't shoot. They used to have wonderful worked over factory triggers but someone buggered them up since I got the Jewell. I think maybe Jewell triggers have little gremlins that come out at night and bugger up your other triggers.

:D:D:D For hunting, a jewell is not needed but I agree that there is something that wants you to have one in every rifle you own.

I don't want ANY creep in a trigger. Are the Jewells easy to adjust?
 
Yes....

All Jewell trigger adjustments are accessable from the bottom of the trigger housing and easily adjusted with a small Allen wrench. No need to seal the screw after adjustment since they are nylon coated. All parts are stainless so about the only maintenance required is to squeeze a half can of lighter fluid through the housing from the top once every five years or so. NO NOT oil this trigger; no matter what the oil manufactuer states regards "non-gumming" on the label. When ordering, ask for the three weight adjustment springs. This will allow from about 1 1/2 oz adjustment to about 4 lbs plus with the insertion of the correct spring in the bottom of the trigger. Also, for a hunting rifle you will need a Jewell safety and a bolt stop. The safety is much smoother and reliable than the Remington safely.;)

Good luck...you'll love it.

Jewell Triggers are excellent, but I personally dont think one is needed on a hunting gun
 
I too believe that after owning a jewell you'll be spoiled. or even touching one for that matter. i did have a customer that had the safety cam go bad but one call to jewell and they replaced it free of charge. even after the warranty was up.
 
I have the Jewell Sickness

Picked one up a few years ago, never looked back. I have begun to tune my factory Rem triggers to just under two pounds with no creep, but for bench shooting......can't beat that Jewell. It will spoil you. In the classified sectin of this website, there is a guy out fo Kentucky that sells them cheaper than Midway., just over $200.
 
I had to put a drop of lock tite on my jewell because it kept backing out and giving me lots of creep. Nylon coated or not it did not stay where put. It works just fine now

That would be Larry D. Scott. He sells on www.gunbroker.com and here:
http://www.varminthunters.com/greatscott/index.html
I've bought several Jewell triggers from him. His prices are good and he gives good service. Midway also gives good service and sometimes has a "sale" at about the same price as Scott's regular prices.

Jewells have completely spoiled me for Rem 700s. The only triggers I haven't replaced are two Canjar 3 lever (not the set type) which came on used rifles I bought. The Jewell isn't enough better to make me spend $200.

I've bought one Jewell for a Win 70 but for most of my Win 70s the factory triggers are acceptable to me with just adjustment. None are bench rifles. Some are tactical and varminters.

For AR-15s and LR-(xxx) the Jewell is the most adjustable and smoothest trigger I've found. It's downside is slow lock time. The Geissele is not as adjustable or as light but it has much faster lock time. Creep and overtravel are a toss up compared to the Jewell. For unsupported shooting the Geissele is tops. From a bench or bipod I prefer the Jewell. (just my opinion).

I'm just glad Jewell doesn't make triggers for other brands of rifles. Like for the Ruger #1, Steyr Aug, Bushmaster M-17, or for AK47 which need better triggers far more than Rem 700s or AR-15s. It would cost me a fortune.

Jewell triggers are the way to go. The company is great about tech support.
 
yes that is correct and I forgot to mention Larry Scott offers free shipping on his triggers he sends.
