Newer Win 70 MOA triggers?

[Igloo]

Figure this is definitely the forum on which to ask...

Has anyone given the newer style (ie post New Haven) Win 70 enclosed triggers a tough workout in crap conditions? If so, how do they hold up?

Its knocked as being by nature less reliable than the older open trigger, sure...But HOW much less? Seems to be a lot of variability in what it takes to choke a boxed-in trigger system, and even if they were created equal, some rifles just let more shmoo in than others.

Would appreciate any firsthand info, good or bad.

I haven't dumped a bunch of dirt and junk down my action but I've never had a problem with the MOA style trigger in about 7yrs of owning a newer model 70. However, I did swap it out for a Timney last year. My testing is through normal hunting conditions and temperature ranges from 20 degrees to 90 degrees.

Right on, I figure they handle absolutely normal use just fine
