My cousin has a m700. It is the tactical model with the HS stock and Try-nite coating on SS barrel. his gunsmith told him it has a new trigger that Remington just switched to. Supposedly it is not adjustable from the factory. I am not sure and very well could be misleading you. Any way, he went with a Jewel trigger and has it adjusted down so low that I think a stiff breeze would set it off. I'm not sure, but feels less than a pound to me. He doesn't plan to hunt with this rifle. Just a long range shooter.
