Help with Police SNiper rifle trigger

[USMC 0231]

Long story short. Im a our sniper team leader on our ESU team and have been since 2007. That damn Remington trigger documentery is getting around again and a "Higher Up" is making a big deal about it now. Little back ground: Ive been a competive shooter both F class and sniper comps for a while as well as an armorer for Rem, SIg, Colt and others. Ive worked on my works trigger at the armorer school as well as maintain our teams. We have never had a problem with these older trigger and have made every attempt to duplicate the "slam fire" but as long as we keep the triggers clean and check that hte pins do not walk out we are good.

My situation is now that I was told to either update to a new Rem trigger or install an after market one asap.

So my question is: What is the best trigger for a POLICE sniper rifle? Its only for a few rifles and we are a large agency so I do not need to be cheap on it.

My choices so far are Jewell and Timney.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Either one would be a good choice. Those with jewels are going to recommend them and talk down the others and those with timney may do the same. I have used both and I like Jewell's in a Remington but that is JMHO. I have them in my Remington 700P's with no issues, not that I had any issues with the stock triggers either.

those credentials and asking such questions?

 

[Asperly Aimless]

Seems legit.






Either trigger will be fine. Pick your poison, set it at a reasonable pull, and everybody is happy.

Shit I put this in the wrong section. I ask this apparently rookie question because I have to order the new trigger tomorrow! Im just trying to see what other people have to say. Im leaning towards a jewell but I have a concern about cold weather deployments since I am in the North East. I was just told about this decision and need to expedite the process.

As of 2 min ago I was told I may be able to keep my current trigger since its been tested so much and have good armorer records. But this might be a good way to get a new trigger if its better on my Agency's dime

I am going to tell you Timney as Jewels in a dirty and or tactical situation typically don't fair well, which is why you don't see many guys running tactical courses or hunting with them. Get the Timney.

Timney or Huber Concepts. Leave the Jewel for people who shoot on square ranges...

Terry Cross builds for many LE agencies and as far as I am aware uses rifle basix exclusively.

Get the Timney for your Police Sharp shooter rifle.

We put Timney's in our rifles last year. I've seen two of the old Remington triggers detonate rounds while no one was touching the trigger twice now, both in "hard use" LE sniper courses... The most recent incident was last week, and I was directly next to the guy and the rifle that it happened to.

Get a Timney. Jewels are crap if they get dirty.

Another vote for Timney.

A gunsmith also recommended me the Timmy

Whatever trigger you install, don't set it below 2.5-3.5 # or so. When it get cold out, you don't don't have as much feeling in your fingers. You don't want a trigger too sensitive. You don't want the gun to go off before you're ready for the shot. You're not shooting a benchrest gun.
