[QUOTE="tim_w, post: 1042846, member: 11132"] In terms of reliability ALL and I mean ALL triggers will eventually fail. As will ALL trigger manf no matter how great they are send out a lemon. After all they are people and make mistakes not to mention they likely are not making the metal alloys they use to cut the parts out of thus is out of their control to some extent. Certinaly without a doubt Jewel triggers fail but comparatively I still rate them over the timney and basix on feel and reliability. But consider that while Jewel is super popular in bolt guns (Remmys the most) they also make a AR-15 trigger but they are far from the goto manf for those. Its the Geiselle two stage triggers that rules ARs top end and they are very nice and all I use in my AR builds. Of the three you mentioned I say Jewel. Arnold makes a very good trigger With that said and with the understanding that I am a two stage trigger guy, personally, I would suggest the CG trigger. After putting a good amount of rounds (100-150) thru a borrowed rifle I did some load development on (6mm creedmore) with a Mod22 CG Xtreme trigger this is what's going in my current build. I have preferred the feel of a two stage (ever since getting use to my first sako trg-21 I received in 1990 for my 18th B-day :D (not even close to the grin I had when I saw it)). I find the benefit of having two stages especially true when I am setting the final pull weights low 1lb and under as compared to a single stage. I like the ability to have that first stage set me up when trigger pull weights drop under even 1.5-2lb and certainly when they go under 1 lb.

They were meaning to only stage their finger on the shoe but had it brake from the hand movement from the previous exertion. That's never fun and a bit unnerving when it happens and in some situations could be a real issue. These triggers are not cheap comparatively (about 1/3 or more depending) so they may be out of your price range i.e $300-$350 If you might be interest I would suggest doing some searches on reviews of the CG-Jackson trigger [FONT=Arial]designed by Robert Chombart and manf[/FONT] by Peter Jackson of Great Britain its manf and sold here in the USA by Tom Myers @ X-Treme Shooting Products.
