Is that Timney better than a Jewell on a 700 platform?
A lot depends upon what you like. The first aftermarket trigger I got long ago was a Timmney and I have it adjusted to have a lot of slack because that is what I grew up with and I am comfortable shooting with a lot of slack. I have a Jewell and a "worked" Remington with no slack. When hunting in cold weather I sometimes have problems with cold fingers and light triggers. The Jewell is one of those that has a "scritch" to it and sometimes but not always, it hangs just a little before breaking. As far as I am concerned, I hunt with my triiggers set at 2# and I am fine with a worked Rem trigger. I am not paying to have an aftermarket trigger installed on my new rifle.
