Since I was a kid the only rifles I had shot were always bone stock, I recently put a timney in my Remington 700 sps that had the Xmark pro that wouldn't adjust under 4.5#. After setting the new timney to 2.5# I am extremely pleased. I'm sure the jewel is an awesome trigger but the timney works for everything I'd ever need.

JEWELL, buy once cry once. No comparison to Timney in the ones I have installed.

+1 on the Jewell. I had a Timney on my deer rifle until I put a Jewell in my varmint rifle. Now they are both sporting Jewell hvr's.
My first RB trigger, (3 years ago) had some horrible creep. Called them and they walked me through on correction. Perfect ever since. New RB trigger, (4 months) breaks at 10 ozs. like glass. Yesterday I was shooting the rifle with the 10 oz. trigger. Took it apart to do a through cleaning of the whole rifle. Checked the trigger...It broke right at 10 ozs. That's after 175 rounds. I'm happy.

I don't have any hands on experience with the RB trigger but I do have a few Jewells and they are by far a much better trigger than the Timney and Shillens I have used. They are much easier to Install and get down to the Oz. wt. you want. Mine are set at 6-8 Oz. for all my rifles.
If you ever have the need to replace the RB I would recommend a Jewell. They are simply an excellent trigger.

I have Jewel Triggers on both Remington 700's, a 700 5R .308 and a Sendero in 7mm RM. Great triggers

I recently installed # 6 on a 300 Win. MAg. Rem. 700 Long Range. Yes they are great!
