What type of bolt action triggers is everyone using and why do you like it?
I tried a TT special flat shoe and it seems pretty good but wanted something between the flat shoe and the pro curve.
I also tried the Gisselle 2 stage but that felt too mushy, almost sponge like. Didn’t really care for that sponge like take up, but that’s just me.
Any one have experience with a jewel trigger?
I have or have had these after market triggers jewell BR, HVR,timney CE, 510, TT most of them, Huber, jard, rifle basix, bix n andy Dakota, tacsport & tacsport pro. All our bolt actions are primarily hunting first and foremost. We have shot friendly target shoots etc with some but nothing competitive. We also plink with a few as well lol.
Of all of them we used jewell the most and longest. They are great triggers as is most of them for their designed purpose. I feel some of it does come down to personal preference. I prefer single stage others two stage triggers etc. I like to be able to adjust triggers while installed in the stock.
Back in the 80's we did have one jewel freeze up on a bull tahr hunt. Moisture got in the trigger housing and froze up. We carried ronsonol lighter fluid to flush them out per the recommendation of the trigger designer. If you look up most of them as in anything mechanical they all can have issues.
The only trigger l dont have trigger time with is the BnA triggers. Got them for some builds that were put on hold due to covid. Having different sear heights is great with the ARC Mausingfield actions. Having the ability to change out the trigger shoes is to some worthwhile in itself.
Some of these newer triggers was designed to help keep out moisture and dirt to allow them to run in very unforgiving climates. That may cause issues with other trigger designs. I'd say if your using it mainly as a bench gun etc then take your pick. If running comps like PRS then TT or BnA due to a more sealed nature of the trigger. Less cleaning or failures due to dust,crud build up etc.
What action? This would help a lot guess should've got that out of the way from the start. As some have already said some triggers are only available in some actions etc.
