I was looking at jewell br trigger, its says 1.5 oz to 3 oz. Is that correct ????


Man that's light

If you gotta ask a 1.5-3oz trigger is gonna be WAY too light. If you are planning on hunting with this rifle, around 2 lbs is plenty light. Triggers that pull in ounces instead of pounds are for benchrest, they literally go off when barely touched.

Jewell makes one that is in the hunting range of pull weight . i have 4 shilen and one jewell they are all around 1.8 pound pull.

Anything less than a 168 berger is just a fasterb kill inside of 400 yrds due to hydrolic shock, but whoever told you that 139s and 140 were great for 1000yrds is full of ****! The 168s and 180s are much better choices, and velocity will not be an issue with a 30" barrel.

mud and back woods-

Have you shot a 140 berger at 1000 yards ? when they exit the muzzle a 3300 they are awesome. Especially when you are competing against guys shooting . 308 or an AR. The 168 bergers have a higher bc and will have ever so Slightly better numbers than a 140 berger, ... After you get past 600 yards . run the numbers the 140 berger is awesome.

i mostly shoot 1000 yards just in competition. i have killed 5 elk with a 139gr 7mm. one with a 7mm 175 sierra btsp; and two with a 270 grain sp from a 378 weatherby. any idea which worked best? I also shot a record book rocky mtn big horn with a 168 berger. it killed the ram . it did not pass through it. the ram weighed about 350 pounds. the bc of the 168 does make it a little better for long range. the others will work i proved it.
