Title: Does anyone actually like the x-mark pro trigger
Post by: Eric M on May 06, 2019, 07:07:07 PM: Just curious if anyone has had good luck with it. Remington sure talks it up. I'm not a huge fan of the savage accutrigger either but a lot of people like those. Anyway just curious.

Put the X-Mark in my brother's 700 and he likes it ( although hes only used factory 700 triggers).
As far as the Savage trigger I swapped out the spring in my 17hmr and its night and day better.

I think they're a perfectly serviceable trigger and good enough for the majority of folks, especially on a hunting gun.

That being said I put together a quick build for my wife in 260 and used a xmark factory and it tuned up real nice and she shoots it very well.

Post by: b23 on May 06, 2019, 09:39:54 PM: Jewell's are an amazing trigger there is no doubt about it, I've got a few of them and they're excellent, but, they aren't without their downside too. Jewell's do not like to get dirty and they won't take much abuse. My last few builds I've switched to using the Timney Calvin Elite and they've been really good.

Another Triggertech fan here. very crisp and easily adjustable.

I think the Bell and Carlson stock on the long range model is pretty nice
