Where is the best place to buy a Timney trigger and do you buy it with the safety?? On their website it's listed at $129. I already have a Rem700 with the X mark Pro trigger and been looking to upgrade.

I just installed a Jewell for right at $200 shipped. I have heard the Jewell's get dirty easy but every gun I hunt and shoot with have the same trigger and I have never had any issues. The reason I use Jewell is so that all my guns "feel" the same when I shoot.

You can still find some old style Remington 700 triggers around, they are very reliable and once properly set are very nice and don't give very much up to the aftermarket triggers. I picked one up here on the hide a few days ago for about $60, JMO.

I got my Timney with safety (#510) from Brownells. Installation only took 5 mins and I like it a lot better than the x mark pro my AAC-SD came with. Stays more consistent at lower adjustments than the factory trigger and feels better IMHO.

I like the Shilen trigger. Go to their website and take a look. They offer 2 triggers. Be sure to get the one that IS NOT for benchrest.

Get a Huber concepts 2 stage trigger, awesome. $250, check in the group buy section for the link as it still works, you won't regret it.

Re: New trigger for 700 5r
I have Jewell, Rifle Basix, and Timney. That is the order I rate them in.
With that said, I prefer the RB on my hunting rifles because the lever feels the best to me. The RB lever is a wide-grooved, similar to the Timney, but breaks just a bit more crisp IMO

I really like the Jewell trigger. The only beef I have is the narrow shoe. Maybe someday the Jewell folks will realize that more people than just benchrest shooters are using them.
Tip: Make sure you give the Jewel a little more overtravel than what comes from the factory. In fact, there is almost no overtravel when shipped.
We aren't shooting 6BR's, mostly heavier recoiling rifles and the extra overtravel allows the bullet to depart the barrel before you hit the stop.
