I 'll just say this. Grab the rifle from this "smith" and run as far away from him as you can. No competentgunsmith needs to return no stinking 700 trigger back to the factory unless the trigger is defective and has some serious tolerance issues, the fact that your trigger was originally working well means that some grit or goop got in the mechanism..The problem I had was the safety would not move back to "Safety" . The authorized repair center unfortunately had a bad new part in stock and that had the same problem. It took 3 triggers to get it right but it finally worked out.
