Model 700 trigger
« on: January 01, 2020, 12:22:42 PM »
I'm thinking of replacing the triggerin one of my model 700's. I was going to use a timmney but there's a lot of talk about triggertech, any opinions?

I have a couple Triggertech Primary triggers . IMHO they are just a step up from the Timney they replaced . If you want we could possibly meet up so you can compare them.

I put a Triggertech in my 700.  Very nice and crisp set up.

I put a the timney Calvin elite in my 700, I’m really happy with it. I don’t like the other timney triggers.

IMO, nothing feels as good as a Jewell, but Jewell triggers don't like any kind of dirt and they aren't the most robust trigger out there so I had been using Timney Calvin Elite triggers.  My most recent 6mm CM build has a Triggertech Special trigger in it.  Haven't had it very long so I don't really have much time with it, but it feels pretty good so far.

Nothing wrong with the Timney. Compared to the stock rig it is a huge improvement
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

My jewell triggers are amazing. Never had a failure.

I have been very happy with the Jewell triggers and have recently been playing
with the Timney Calvin Elite and like it a lot but I am a bit biased.  :chuckle:

The new TT Special I have is currently set a bit heavier than all my Jewell's or Timney CE triggers so I won't be able to give it a fair comparison until I lighten the pull on the TT.  The TT Special I have has a nice clean feel to it though and I'd say it, so far, feels very much like my Timney CE triggers, but as I mentioned before, nothing compares to the feel of a Jewell.  Who knows, maybe when I get the TT Special lightened up to the same as my Jewell's I'll feel differently though.

My favorite right now is the Calvin Elite, flat shoe. Amazing trigger.

Just replaced my Jewell with Tt Diamond Pro Curve.   Diamond I believe bit better for hunting - dirt resistant and safer with very light trigger.   Also easier to adjust pull.    In a blind test not sure I could tell the difference but like safety much better on Tt.  Jewell had issues when in the field.

I just put a Timney elite hunter on my 700. Made a big difference and so far no issues.  Install was a easy.  Took 15 min or less.

I have installed jewell, Trigger Tech, Timney and Bix and Andy tac sport. My favorite is the Jewell it never failed me out in the field but I would not discount the Bix.for target shooting I really like my Calvin elite 2 stage very predictable I find I never feel like I have to call a bad shot due to trigger squeeze.
