Does anybody have experience with Jewell triggers. I’m thinking about getting a new trigger installed in a Winchester M70 I got a few months ago. Wanted folks opinions that have used one of these triggers in a hunting rifle.

Fatback, I do not have any experience with them but would be interested as well. I purchased one of the current M70s made in Portugal and loved everything about the rifle except the trigger. I ended up with a Timney but looked over Jewell. From what I saw they do not have any replacement for the new MOA trigger system, only the old style M 70 trigger.

I went with the Timney on my mod70 too. It had the MOA trigger which was pretty good but the Timney has been a good upgrade.

I have a Jewell in my Dasher that I moved over from my LR rifle. It is a great trigger for what I am using it for and how far down it adjusts to. I replaced the other trigger with a Trigger Tech Diamond and it is great for that. I have a couple of Trigger Techs in a couple other hunting rifles but they are not Diamonds.
I had this Jewell in a hunting rifle at one time and felt it wasn't necessary. Any good trigger that breaks clean at the setting you want and doesn't have creep will be fine . I do feel it is the best feeling trigger that I have, but there isn't anything wrong with the other ones I have.

I am fonder of a wider trigger shoe on a hunting rifle for some odd reason.

Look at JARD if you want a hair trigger.

It is an older M70, made in New Haven. Not looking for a hair trigger. Want to to be 3-3.5 lbs. the current trigger is closer to 5 lbs. I have a jewel trigger on the way. I’ll report back after I get it installed. Thanks for the input.

I have a Canjor-I have it set super hairy/scary,but it works most incredible (very dangerous setting).
Wish his family or someone would carry on

How did it work out for you ?
Had my smith smooth and polish my Ruger factory trigger. He lowered the pull and it’s smooth as butter.
Less cost, more refreshing.

Learm how to adjust your older style Win. Trigger..it.is one of the simplest easiest adjustable triggers around. At worst you might need a softer return spring..
