I got tired of waiting for Arnold Jewell to make a 2 oz. capable trigger for our rifles, so I made my own using his mechanism. Maybe he'll take a hint. Anyway, all the working parts are 440C stainless steel, hardened where necessary. It uses a modified factory sear to allow it to work just like a Rem 700 trigger except that the geometry is rearranged. All the adjustments are made using a 1/16" hex wrench thru the trigger slot in the stock. See http://www.ada.ru/guns/remington/jewell/manual_en.htm for a tech explanation on the Jewell BR trigger.

This trigger has no provision for a safety and the factory safety will not fit. Therefore, it is strictly a benchrest/competition trigger where the bolt is closed on a live round only when ready to fire. It reliably adjusts to 2 oz and a tad less, but I plan to run it at 2.5 - 3 oz. because it feels a little more controlable to me at that weight. BTW, I am not in the business of making triggers and this is a one-off for my personal use. I made this one as a proof of concept and shows what one can do with sufficient motivation and some free time (retired). ;D
