Gunsmithing New trigger for Christmas

[InTheFace]

Wife is getting me a new trigger for Christmas. Currently have the x-mark or whatever it is on the Remington.

Im looking for 1.5 lbs or so. I would like to be able to install it myself. I do want the same style safety as I have now.

What options do I have? and who is the peron to buy from?

I like Factory old style sent to GA precision and tuned down. I like mine at 2.5 pounds. Just my two cents though.

Re: New trigger for Christmas

since you don't want to go below 1.5# I would look at the Timney, you can buy them almost anywhere (midway etc..) They are identical to the factory triggers.

Jewell is by far the way to go. Very easy to install, and the trigger has a range from 1.5oz to 3 lb. If you call and order from Jewell they will pre-set the trigger to where you want it, and send you the other springs so u can change it if needs be. I only shoot Jewell's and I have mine set at 1 lb and i use this for hunting and target . Absolutely crisp clean pull, like breaking glass every time. No creep whatsoever.

Oh and i see u live in North Texas, Jewell is based out of San Marcos, in central Texas

Jewell is the way to go, San Marcos is up the road from me and I was able to go to the shop and pick two up both set a 1.5# Great customer service the rep. adjusted them both for me on the spot. Installation is easy.

Go Timney! Order direct from them and they will pre-adjust it for you to 1.5# so it will be a direct drop in. And it wont break the bank either. Make sure you go with the nickel plated version.

My smith recommended the Rifle basix trigger to replace my 40x. He tuned it to 2.5 lbs, so far I am very happy with it.

I highly recommend a Jewell set to 2 pounds...That's my opinion anyhow...

Honed 700 or RB. I got the Jewel set at 2# on my new stick and it will get replaced. I hate the narrow shoe, of course I may be able to learn to deal with it but for now, the narrow shoe allows me to roll mostly to the left off the shoe causing fliers.

I got to use a honed 700 set to 2.5 pounds, absolutely a better trigger than my Jewel. I like the wide shoe but it feels like it breaks more clean and feels like an easier pull.

RB LV1 with kit set to 1# is on my 700 SPS and I prefer it best. With 1000 rounds of use it still breaks clean at 1# and has a very wide shoe for good pad feel. The safety feels cheap but at least it works unlike my Jewel that does not work and must be sent back for warranty replacement but will not go back into the stick.

Re: New trigger for Christmas

esedotbat,
That explains it a bit better. I'd get rid of the X mark from what I've heard as well. If you can find a 40x, grab it. If not get a good old Remington and get it worked. That should be a pretty good trigger that you will be happy with.

Re: New trigger for Christmas

just put a rifle basix 2.5 lb in my new 5r that came with the x mark thing. just called up rifle basix and told him what i wanted. they were great to deal with and FAST. talked with them on the phone monday morning at 8 am pacific time. trigger was in my mailbox thursday afternoon.

put it in myself. directions were good. i ordered mine with the safety and bolt release because i build power lines not rifles. ive never been offered a job building swiss watches either. this thing was easy to put in.

i picked up a 1/8th inch cobalt drill bit and punch and a rubber mallet at the hardware store.

i used the bit to clean out the factory holes that were staked. twisted it by hand so as not to get carried away with the drill.

EZ fast and nice.

Clay was the guys name at rifle basix. GTG
