Trigger Job Question??

Colorado Luckydog · 03-16-2009, 07:41 PM

I have 3 Remington 700's that Ihad trigger jobs done on buy a gunsmith. For 35 bucks the triggers all came out light and crisp. I have a Browning A-bolt 30.06, and I am probably getting a Reminton 788 22.250 on Thursday. Will these guns be as easy as the 700's for a smith to do the trigger jobs on? Will they turn out as good as the 700's, or do I need to replace the them with an aftermarket trigger? Once you get spoiled with a decenttrigger, it's hard to accept anything else.

Thanks Bryan

The A-bolt is adjustable by you. I've gotten all my A-bolts to break real clean around the 3# mark with no smithing required. The 788s require smithing I do believe to get them real good.

Rammer is correct. The 788 trigger is "non-adjustable", but the A-bolt can easily be reworked by you. Pm me if you need help.

When you say "non-adjustable"..... does that mean at all, or can a gunsmith clean it up and make it light and crisp? I'll replace it with an aftermarket trigger if I need to.

It means non user adjustable as in no provisions are there to adjust trigger. It's actually vary easy to rework those triggers into a decent trigger anybody could live with. Fret not-just take to your gunsmith and simply tell him your desired pull weight,etc.
