Timney trigger is probably the best solution, but a Timney is about $100, and it stillmust be installed. I doubt that a gunsmith will charge lessfor installation ofa Timney than to adjust an M700.
Helen Keller could have installed aTimney trigger on a Howa. I doin't know what the going rate on a timney is these days my best guess isprobably in the 85-120 range depending on whetherl CM or SS. You didn't factor in the price of a New Remington vs a Vanguard or HOwa.. do that math and tell me which one is cheaper to own with a great trigger on it ? Remington is seriously overcharging on their rifles, I guess they have to do that to keep the shareholders happy..
