suzukiray Posted December 6, 2018 Report Posted December 6, 2018 (edited) Remington 700 build in .338 Lapua, finally started!! Which trigger for a long distance gun? This one will have a 30 inch barrel. I've seen others, and never owned a Jard, but hear good things about them. Anyone recommend either one over the other? Or even a different brand over these two? Edited December 6, 2018 by suzukiray
suzukiray Posted December 6, 2018 Author Report Posted December 6, 2018 And I know this section is SUPPOSED to be for .308 triggers but didnt see another section more appropriate to ask this question in.
98Z5V Posted December 6, 2018 Report Posted December 6, 2018 I have a Jard 2lb in a long-barrel 5.56 rig, and it's a good trigger. I've never tried one in a 700, though... BUT! I have a Timney 517 in a .308 bolt gun, 700 AAC-SD. The 517 is the flat trigger, right hand safety, and I had them set it up at 2.5lbs. That trigger ROCKS!
suzukiray Posted December 6, 2018 Author Report Posted December 6, 2018 Thanks Tom. Timney and Jard are about the ONLY 2 brands of triggers I haven't owned yet.
Alan Waters Posted December 6, 2018 Report Posted December 6, 2018 Just put a Timney Calvin in my M5. 1.5 lbs.
NTXshooter Posted December 7, 2018 Report Posted December 7, 2018 Never had a Jard, but I have two rifles with Timneys and I love them both.
rcnut Posted December 7, 2018 Report Posted December 7, 2018 check out Huber concepts. I don't think you will be disappointed with the price or the quality. John Huber has sponsored quite a few people especially snipers and are setting records with his triggers.

RobPLSCA Posted January 23, 2019 Report Posted January 23, 2019 Has anyone here tried the Velocity single stage 3 lb in a 308AR/6.5cmAR?

Got one in my Xanthos and previously had it in my Pa10. I love it. Can't really tell a difference from the Timney I had in my old R25. I believe the owner of Velocity was the big cheese at Timney before he went and did his own thing. They look identical aside from the color and price. However, I find myself wanting to put the MBT-2S into the Xanthos. Something about the trigger shoe, feels better on the MBT.

suzukiray Posted January 23, 2019 Author Report Posted January 23, 2019 I have Velocity triggers in 3 or 4 of my AR15s but havent tried one in my 308s yet. Zero issues with them though.

jtallen83 Posted January 24, 2019 Report Posted January 24, 2019 Love the size and shape of the MBT’s shoe myself. Something about that wider surface that seems to give better control.

I have used Timney triggers in Mausers,Springfield,Remington 700 bolt rifles and never had a bad experience. Calibers from .22-250 2506, 3006 and..243 both for personal and customers. I never saw a need to go with another brand. Once when the Timney plant had a fire I had to.look around to find one for my Remington 700 .243.

RobPLSCA Posted January 30, 2019 Report Posted January 30, 2019 I got a status report from LaRue... Seems their triggers are quite popular at ~$79 each, so 4 to 6 weeks from order to ship, and they will send an email when they go out the door... Although they didn't send any attitude I felt like I should not have bugged them and just been patient once I got the email response. So be patient fokks, and watch for the email...
jtallen83 Posted January 30, 2019 Report Posted January 30, 2019 Just got notice my MBT ordered on December 30 has shipped, time to order another.

FWIW, I ordered my last MBT on 12/19/18. Received my shipping notification on 1/18/19. So they're kicking them out about 30 days after you place your order.

For almost everything I build, that's the trigger I'm using, I kid you not. It needs to be something really, really special for me to step away from one of those, now. If I do step away from it, the only other thing I'm getting is the Geissele Hi-Speed National Match.
RobPLSCA Posted January 31, 2019 Report Posted January 31, 2019 I've got 1 Velocity single stage 3 lb for the 6.5cmAR, and these 2 LaRues for 308 & 338fed. In a week or two, I should have all 3 piles of parts...
