Next week: Rem 700! But question...

Cruise the boards and the local shops for used stuff there are deals to be had if you hunt for them or do it in pieces .

Mikes Jewell took a dump on him at the last CD Team Match. Ended up with an AD & DQ. Bad day.

But yes, Shilen triggers are good for dragging around the country side and getting dirty.

Time will tell how this new Tubb 2-Stage does.

Hadn't heard about that , that makes 2 . Did he figure out the failure or just junk it ?

Neither. Old guys and change don't get along.

As info, I had a shilen go down on mine, right before the tbac team challenge, had to scramble to get another trigger in the gun before the match. Basically got to where it would intermittently just not hold the FP when cocked (close bolt and it would just let the pin back down like there was no trigger in the gun) They all have issues from time to time, I've seen timney and factory rem do the exact same thing so about the only ones I haven't heard of a problem with yet is the Huber 2 stage and tubbs new trigger and neither really have the massive numbers on the ground to have the same exposure as the others so as Hoser says, time will tell.

Biggest thing is to just pay attention to it and watch out for issues.

Gotta figure out the why to fix it . The other one I saw fail was set at 1/2 pound and wouldn't cock at all . Mines at 1 pound and never had any issues in the same dirt .

Mine was at 2 lbs , didn't have time to figure out why, just cleaned/lubed with lighter fluid and reinstalled, no joy. So I got a timney as that's what was available on short notice at the time and got the rifle up and running again for the match and haven't revisited it since. It was just a learning experience for me in that its just one more thing on the checklist of things to verify before a match.

Probably shouldn't have to worry about it, but its a mechanical device no matter how you slice it, it can fail, and its the reason we have the safety rules we do at matches, shit happens.


EDIT: just figured out you were talking about Mike's
