I have been shooting it that way for some time now, and can report that it is a real pleasure. I also decided that letting my trigger setting be determined by some arbitrary number was silly, so I set it up so that it felt right, whatever the weight might be. After trying the B&A for a while, I decided to change the weight and ended up using the next heavier trigger spring from the one that was installed originally. When I got my B&A it was set at about 1 1/4 oz. The best way that I can describe the feel is that I do not think about my trigger at all. Although I am not dissatisfied with the Jewel, I like the B&A better. This can be achieved in the BnA by using the ball system which holds a huge amount of downward force still using a very light reset spring. In some case the pressure is 10 times greater. We have tested many triggers in the market (including the Jewells) and there is no trigger that even comes close to the BnA in terms of dropping that upward pressure. This is very important factor in terms of accuracy. One huge benefit you will get with the BnA trigger irrespective of the trigger weight setting is that the upward force on the cocking piece is going to be significantly less. Would any of these triggers be more suited to either action? Is there any real benefit of the super expensive Bix,N Andy over a Jewel if it is going to be set at 2oz or 8oz? What ever trigger I fit to the Panda will be set at 2oz, while the trigger in the Pierce will be set around 8 Oz. What is the real world benefit of a more expensive Bix,n Andy over the jewel? So far I have one trigger (a Jewel) for either and am looking for another. One is a Panda in 6 Dasher for 1000yd LG + 6PPC for BR, the other is a Pierce in 300WSM for F Class. I am told that the B&A will stand reliably at under an ounce. I decide when I want the shot to happen, and the gun goes off.

Now, when I am shooting, the trigger does not even enter my mind. For me, after a certain point, lighter is not better, but smoother and more consistent are.
