I have been reading a lot of reviews on both the Huber and the Jackson triggers, and I am still unsure of which trigger to get for my rem 700? I thought a poll might help, please vote and post comments.

Do I need t use an allen key to remove the bolt with both triggers?

Cheers Lachlan

Any gunsmith that will install one. It has to be milled into the action.

Bolt release is near rear of receiver just above the stock. Took this image from the F/S forum.

If you don't have a local gunsmith that will do them, GA precision will install one for you.

I like my 2 Hubers. They're sealed and work on ball bearings which allows me to run them bone dry - they have worked very well for me. I've heard good things about CG Jackson as well. At the time I purchased my two Huber's I don't believe CG Jackson had a completely sealed trigger, so Huber was the only option for the sandy/dusty areas I shoot in.

Sinclair used to. I don't know if they still do or not. I've had a couple of 40Xs with them.

it releases the bolt.......when you want to take the bolt from the gun

Yes, it is on the standard remingtons, the OP was implying about an aftermarket one that can be installed on the side of the action, hence "side bolt release".

Neither of the triggers being discussed have a bolt release as part of the trigger.

Re: What trigger do you run and why

I have a question for you guys running a Huber. This should probably be another thread but...

After cycling the bolt, when I take up the slack of the first stage of the trigger pull, it's kind of heavyish, then, if I don't break the second stage and release the trigger, the next time I take the first stage slack out, it's much lighter.
Hopefully this makes sense.

Ideally, I'd like the first stage to be nice and light each time I pull the trigger instead of it being inconsistent like it is now. Before I troubled Mr. Huber about this I was wondering if this is the way all the Huber Concepts triggers function or possibly only mine.

Thanks!

the CG has the bolt release as part of the unit. I run a CG and its a very simple trigger once you figure it out. I love my CG but wouldnt be against trying a Huber

I run a trigger tech diamond in my competition rifles. It has a great pull and stays very consistent. I have used other triggers that get dirty which has caused some issues. I know a lot of competitors who use trigger tech because they’re reliable, low maintenance, and they have an awesome feel. I will be buying another one for my new build.

TriggerTech Primary, Special or Diamond; you won't go wrong. They always work, pull weights are consistent, and it's a single stage. It all comes down to shooter preference on the single-stage or two-stage style triggers. I've shot other triggers in some pretty nasty weather, from snow to rain and mud and I've never had an issue with my TriggerTechs.

I have experience with Timney, TriggerTech special, and Jewel (a lifetime ago),. IMO, the jewels are a more delicate than the others and the slightest amount of dirt can cause you a headache. The Timneys are definitely a significant step up from factory triggers. However, I recommend the TriggerTechs. much more crisp, much more consistent and i believe they are less prone to dust getting in them.

Padding of post count... anyone around here for more than a "minuteman" has already seen most of these threads hashed, rehashed, drug up, dragged around, and rehashed again.

I enjoy going back and reading some of the good threads from Several years ago—-some things are truly timeless.

But Is there nothing new in the trigger world that didn’t exist a few years ago that might make the Necro Trigger choice thread worth revisiting?

The Precision Rifle Blog surveys would suggest the average high level shooter would answer this question differently today than he would have 5 or 10 years ago.

I‘ve heard that so many times about Jewells, but I have them in a couple rifles and have never had any issues with them. One is in a bench rest gun and the other in my primary hunting rifle. Maybe I got lucky, or maybe that has been grossly over exaggerated. I haven’t used an TriggerTechs yet, but I’ve heard great things about them.

no different from the threads where somebody asks a question and then 10 guys in a row give the exact same answer, one after another.

I've really enjoyed my Bix n' Andy tac sport 2 stage. I don't need the pro since I don't run my pull weights down that low. The trigger is fully adjustable for 1st and 2nd stage weights and 1st stage length. I like flat triggers as well so the interchangeable trigger shoes are an awesome feature. Also the sears are replaceable to custom fit it's function to your action.
