I tired to look this up, but had no luck. I have a remington 700 in .30-06. I am wondering how many pounds the factorytrigger pull is on it. I looked and could find no definate answer. I am looking at a coupledifferent aftermarket triggers. any suggestions would be great!
thanks
First of all the factory trigger can easily be adjusted to a 3lb pull without any hassle. The factory triggers on the last 2 I have purchased have been in the 4 1/2 -5 lb range. Yes they were measured on the latest greatest RCBS pull gauge. They had the overtravel and sear set about perfect so all I had to do was turn out the weight screw to 3 lbs. Timney trigger is no better or worse then the factory trigger. They go bad as well and I have sent one back this year for a weatherby vanguard which didn't have the internal parts hardened correctly. Call Brownells and ask them the return rate on the them. If I were going to buy the best trigger for a Remington it would be a Jewell and next a Rifle Basix or X mark pro trigger. For 98% of use the regular factory trigger is good enough.
Yes, the Remington trigger definitely can be adjusted easily. However, I decided to try a Rifle Basix in my last Rem., and just really love it. To each his own....
