time for a trigger upgrade for my Rem700 heavy barrel varmint rifle . . . the HVR looks like the goods, exspensive but i should never need to upgrade again.
any advice on best place to source one at the best price would be appreciated

I have found them more reliable on Rem 700 actions.
The trigger shoe on the Jewel isn't to everyones liking.
I got my first Jewell approximately 20 years ago, bought at a time when Jewell was THE trigger. I bought mine direct from one of Arnold Jewell’s sons. Basically rang them, discussed spring configurations, gave CC details, trigger on the way – mmm times have changed.
Nowadays I would be considering some of the alternatives in particular maybe a Bix’n Andy for the 700. Nothing wrong with the Jewell just there are other high quality options now available out there. Depends on the size of your wallet.
Have a look at www.BulletCentral.com they will supply triggers internationally.
I got a cpl of Elite triggers off ebay, and saved over $100 on each one after postage and fees
Quite interested in a Timney myself. Have you got an Ebay link?Quote:

As it's a firearms component & over $100 USD technically they aren't supposed to export it without an export permit, this includes brass & projectiles.Quote:

Yeah they usually don't use a wet bus ticket over there.....Quote:

Never used a jewel.
As far as I'm aware it doesn't include freight.Quote:
