I got a new 700 BDL .30-06 last year. The trigger was pretty heavy, but crisp. I shot a few hundred rounds through it working up a load, and it eventually seemed to lighten up a bit. I have not measured it but I would guess it to be around 6 lbs, heavier than I would like but eally not bad for hunting. I also got a 700 Classic 8x57 last year, same story, heavy trigger but still crisp.
I've decided to leave them alone for now because they don't seem to impede my accuracy, at least to where I can actually measure it. Most of my accuracy issues are attributable to my shooting abilities rather than my weapons.
If you want to adjust the trigger yourself, here's a link with instructions. However, since the Remington trigger can easily be made VERY unsafe by someone who is not knowledgable, if you are the LEAST bit unsure of yourself then have a gunsmith do it for you.
