Very nasty trigger from factory..at the same time it is very rugged. There are 2 are areas that need to be stoned and you can get a decent trigger out of it. YOu still have no adjustment for overtravel. I have found the Timney replacement to be the best ..It replaces the trigger and sear as well and it is much crisper and adjusts for overtravel.. You can install the Timney yourself but bear in mind if you file down the bottom of the safety TOO far your safety will not work and you'll have to ship the gun to Ruger to put in a new SAfety. I bought a ruger from a guy that attempted it and after I got all the facts i made him drop the price on the gun even further. I believe with shipping and all it came out to 50 dollars to restore the trigger and safety to original. They will not sell the safety to you. Hope that helps.


Oh Incidentally all the really good Remington 700's must be in North DAkota and they sell the crap ones in their home state of North Carolina.
