RE: Remington 700 trigger
Remington trigger design is unchanged until the New Xmark pro trigger was introduced. All they did to alleviate the safety concern was to allow the bolt handle to be moved while in the safety position. All they did was grind the ear off the safety lever.

RE: Remington 700 trigger
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.

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.
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
