I'm thinking about getting one of these Jewell JT-08 for a rimfire build. I have a Shilen sporter taper ratchet barrel and a Falcon repeater action to be bought. I have never used a trigger with the safety on the bottom and would like to here from some of you about it.
The reason IR50/50 removed the safety rule for sporters is the newer Jewell trigger with safety (about the only option for a sporter prior to the rule change) is unreliable. Spare springs (the part that breaks) are often unobtanium.
Unless you have a screaming need for a safety I'd recommend passing on any Jewell with a safety for a dedicated bench rest rifle. bob
You might want to refresh your working knowledge of defaming a product on the forums, especially if it's factually wrong.
A lot of the reason that rule no longer exists was that it was a impractical remnant of the past, nobody used or really needed safety's on sporters, probably never did.
If this is true...maybe you can explain the rationale for a keeping a removable clip/magazine fed action.
Maybe a remnant of the past that nobody uses or needs as well?
Tim: Nothing I said is factually wrong.
Perhaps I should ask how you know about the reason(s) for the recent rule change. I know you were NOT involved in the decision process or the re-write.
Should you like to share your knowledge, perhaps the OP will be enlightened. Me, I don't give a hoot. bob
