Which trigger do you like better for the Remington 700, Timney or Jewell?

Of the 2 I would take a Jewell. I prefer Rifle Basix above the 2.

Rifle basix is a great trigger. For 85$, its a great buy. Otherwise, I would have to 2nd the jewell

I like the Jewel triggers. Here's the trigger I use in my 700:

Jewell Rifle Trigger Remington 700 40X Safety 1-1/2oz to 3 lb SS

It is adjustable from 1 1/2 OUNCES up to 3 pounds. I have mine set to 1 pound. There is no creep or travel. I just keep steady pressure on the trigger, concentrate on my breathing and sight picture, and every shot is almost a surprise.

Installation isn't too bad IF you take pictures or study the location of all the springs before removing the factory trigger. The Jewel drops in as an assembly. All you have to do is line up all the components with a pin punch and then push in the retaining pins, forcing the pin punch back out. I have the AI 1.5 chassis system and had to use a Dremel tool to remove a little material from the chassis to get the safety to operate smoothly.
