I’ve had Jewels timney bixNandys and trigger tech diamonds. If it’s a bench gun and not going to see dirt than jewel or bixNandy. If it’s going to see dirt or hunting than my go to would be trigger tech.
 
Caution

A buddy of mine had a Trigger Tech Diamond on his Rem 700 and had a heck of a time with it missing during a PRS match a few weeks ago.

The Triger Tech guys were there and told him to get the model specifically for the Rem 700 with the bolt release on it.

Well he did get it... The guys from Trigger Tech swapped it out... but guess what...

The "correct" trigger does the same thing.

I hope Trigger Tech sorts out the problem but they said it just depends on the specific rifle because apparently Remington does not make them all the same.

So if I were you I would make sure you can return it if it does not work for you.

I spoke with the guys at the Cadex booth and they have a very interesting new trigger out...

It is both single stage and two stage. You just move a screw to change to suit your preference. The Cadex guy was explaining a bunch of safety features to ensure that it catches correctly. Not sure it comes with a bolt release though.

Curious exactly what the problem is ? Have seen this sort of thing mentioned recently with TT Diamonds & 700's. I have no issue with the Diamond have on a 700 so would like to know what's happening for some guys.

Wondering if it's a proper sear engagement issue ?

Cycle the action and pull the trigger = no click and no bang

Then open and close the bolt keeping the bolt forward = now it catches the firing mechanism and now it does fire.

The problem has something to do with the trigger pin holes not being a consistent distance from the center line of the action.

It is most definitely not how the trigger is adjusted, although increasing the pull weight can help in borderline cases.

The single best gear decision I've made in this sport is swapping from single stage trigger tech triggers to 2 stage Bix n Andy Tacsport triggers.

I'm surprised that you would prefer a 2 stage over single stag for PRS.

I've felt that I've lost time taking up the slack in the first stage, and that single stage had just a slight time advantage for PRS. I suppose it would be inconsequential if you are just fast otherwise, but I personally struggle getting all my shots away with some stages, mostly when I have to get low.

For slow shooting like F Class I prefer 2 stage simply because there is no hurry to break the shot quickly.

Actually, come to think of it I have a funny issue with a Trigger Tech Special and my 20'" 5R Mil-Spec 700. (Specials work perfectly on all my other 700's equipped with them)

Every time I run the bolt and fire it works perfectly (trigger is set at 2 pounds).

Now, if I pull the bolt handle up but don't cycle it back, just bolt handle up then bolt handle down, the firing pin drops. Happens every time and it's not because pull weight is set too low. Does the exact same thing with the original firing pin & shroud as well as when swapped out with a Great-Tan firing pin and shroud.

When I get a chance want to re-install the original trigger and see what it does out of curiosity.

Anyone got any ideas ?

The pressure of the cocking piece on the sear is not letting the sear reset.. but if you back the bolt off the cocking piece no longer touches the sear and allows it to reset... that's my guess. It is a slight timing issue of cocking piece engagement with the sear. In real life operation (firing and cycling the bolt) it is of no consequence.
 
have had alot of success with the various Timney triggers. Currently enjoying a Calvin Elite in my 30-06 ELR Rem 700 LA build.. wonderful break at a very light pull. NO functioning issues.

The 510 family has been standard in the industry for decades and now the evolution to the Elite Hunter offers more options. Well priced too.

Rifle basix has been quietly making triggers as well and they are working quite well.

PM or email if I can help.

thanks

Lots of people shoot 2 stage triggers in PRS.

I've come to prefer 2 stage over single stage triggers, much more trigger control with a 2 stage. Being smooth and precise pays dividends over being quick. The "speed" (or lack thereof) of a 2 stage is hardly a disadvantage. People can be successful with either, more of a personal preference thing.

Speaking to the BnA triggers, they have the advantage over other triggers with the available differing sear heights as well as sear engagement adjustment. Allows one to essentially time the trigger to the action - this has a pretty big impact on how your action feels. Too much sear engagement will result in increased bolt lift and close.
