What trigger do you run and why

[DENAUS4]

I have been reading a lot of reviews on both the Huber and the Jackson triggers, and I am still unsure of which trigger to get for my rem 700? I thought a poll might help, please vote and post comments.

Do I need t use an allen key to remove the bolt with both triggers?

Cheers Lachlan

Get a side bolt release and you are good to go

Re: What trigger do you run and why

Where can I get a side bolt release from?

Re: What trigger do you run and why

Any gunsmith that will install one. It has to be milled into the action.

Bolt release is near rear of receiver just above the stock. Took this image from the F/S forum.

I have not felt the Jackson but I like my two Hubers enough to have it put in two others !!

Re: What trigger do you run and why

If you don't have a local gunsmith that will do them, GA precision will install one for you.

I like my 2 Hubers. They're sealed and work on ball bearings which allows me to run them bone dry - they have worked very well for me. I've heard good things about CG Jackson as well. At the time I purchased my two Huber's I don't believe CG Jackson had a completely sealed trigger, so Huber was the only option for the sandy/dusty areas I shoot in.

Re: What trigger do you run and why

Does anyone sell a bolt release that I can buy and get the action milled to suit locally?

Sinclair used to. I don't know if they still do or not. I've had a couple of 40Xs with them.

aint the button on the trigger gaurd? again I am asking. Dont be cruel.

 

[Jester8]

Re: What trigger do you run and why

Yes, it is on the standard remingtons, the OP was implying about an aftermarket one that can be installed on the side of the action, hence "side bolt release".

Neither of the triggers being discussed have a bolt release as part of the trigger.

 

[DENAUS4]

Re: What trigger do you run and why

Just had a look at the defensive edge release looks like the go. nice and compact and looks easy to get at too.

Re: What trigger do you run and why

I have a question for you guys running a Huber. This should probably be another thread but...

After cycling the bolt, when I take up the slack of the first stage of the trigger pull, it's kind of heavyish, then, if I don't break the second stage and release the trigger, the next time I take the first stage slack out, it's much lighter.
Hopefully this makes sense.

Ideally, I'd like the first stage to be nice and light each time I pull the trigger instead of it being inconsistent like it is now. Before I troubled Mr. Huber about this I was wondering if this is the way all the Huber Concepts triggers function or possibly only mine.

Thanks!

the CG has the bolt release as part of the unit. I run a CG and its a very simple trigger once you figure it out. I love my CG but wouldnt be against trying a Huber

 

[Krakenbjj]

I run a trigger tech diamond in my competition rifles. It has a great pull and stays very consistent. I have used other triggers that get dirty which has caused some issues. I know a lot of competitors who use trigger tech because they’re reliable, low maintenance, and they have an awesome feel. I will be buying another one for my new build.

The ancient romans called and want their thread back! Seriously what is with all the 10 year old threads being revived this week?

[ratton]

I tried my first two stage trigger, a Huber. Big mistake: I now own six of them.

 

[EN2722]

TriggerTech Primary, Special or Diamond; you won't go wrong. They always work, pull weights are consistent, and it's a single stage. It all comes down to shooter preference on the single-stage or two-stage style triggers. I've shot other triggers in some pretty nasty weather, from snow to rain and mud and I've never had an issue with my TriggerTechs.

 

[C.R. Adams]

I have experience with Timney, TriggerTech special, and Jewel (a lifetime ago),. IMO, the jewels are a more delicate than the others and the slightest amount of dirt can cause you a headache. The Timneys are definitely a significant step up from factory triggers. However, I recommend the TriggerTechs. much more crisp, much more consistent and i believe they are less prone to dust getting in them.

 

[Newbie2020]

There’s a nice thread on triggertech triggers:

I’m not going to say two stage or Huber is the best there is but I have one and I’m totally happy with it band I feel no need to change it.

Padding of post count... anyone around here for more than a "minuteman" has already seen most of these threads hashed, rehashed, drug up, dragged around, and rehashed again.

Huber...

 

[jtackmann]

I love how 2 people point out this is a decade old thread and then people after them post responses to the OP as if the previous people pointing out necro dont exist at all...

 

[Steel head]

There a time to troll and a time to roll.
Once the crime is committed you might as well go with it.

 

[Newbie2020]

I enjoy going back and reading some of the good threads from Several years ago—-some things are truly timeless.

But Is there nothing new in the trigger world that didn’t exist a few years ago that might make the Necro Trigger choice thread worth revisiting?

The Precision Rifle Blog surveys would suggest the average high level shooter would answer this question differently today than he would have 5 or 10 years ago.

I‘ve heard that so many times about Jewells, but I have them in a couple rifles and have never had any issues with them. One is in a bench rest gun and the other in my primary hunting rifle. Maybe I got lucky, or maybe that has been grossly over exaggerated. I haven’t used an TriggerTechs yet, but I’ve heard great things about them.

 

[Chasing3]

I like my Huber on my Surgeon 591 SA. It’s a two stage and prefer those over one stage. It’s smooth but breaks crisp. Hope that helps.

Oh, and I love ny TriggerTech Special for all around use, the TriggerTech Diamond just for the range because they break crisp and clean and because they are maintenance free.

no different from the threads where somebody asks a question and then 10 guys in a row give the exact same answer, one after another.

Jewell makes a nice trigger and its easily adjustable without taking it out of the rifle.

Do this while you Drink coffee. Eat bacon. After, Drink whiskey.

Anything else, hope you enjoy your vegan dinner with your boyfriend..... you can both “shoot” after.

 

[DRichardson]

I've really enjoyed my Bix n' Andy tac sport 2 stage. I don't need the pro since I don't run my pull weights down that low. The trigger is fully adjustable for 1st and 2nd stage weights and 1st stage length. I like flat triggers as well so the interchangeable trigger shoes are an awesome feature. Also the sears are replaceable to custom fit it's function to your action.
