You would think that a company as big as remington would FIX the problem. i dont think it would be that hard to design a dependable trigger. i realize they would have to fix the ones that are out here but it would renew faith in them by us the consumer. and that keeps them in business.

I've had a 700 BDL for 20 years and a 700 Mountain Rifle for 12 years and have had no problems whatsoever with either one of them

I've got a 700 that's 30+years old and 760 Carbine that's probably 25 years old. Never had a problem with any of them except a broken firing pin on the 760.(That was my fault--- dry firing it after I unloaded it) Now I reach up through the magazine well and catch the hammer with my finger. I almost forgot... I also have a 742 that's 25 years old and no problems.

DEER1,
I've run into this trouble. It was all my own making. This is the result of the sear engagement being to short and the trigger pull being to light. I like my varmint rifle triggers VERY light and without creep or back lash. My Remington M-700 VLS in .22-250 has a 12oz. trigger pull. I'll be the first to state that this weight is dangerous in a hunting rifle. The only thing that I hunt with this rifle is prairie dogs off of a bench rest. Under the right we occasionally take shots to 800 yards. This makes the trigger, as I have it, mandantory. But as I said, this is a unsafe condition for a hunting rifle. Take it to a good gunsmith and have the trigger adjusted and it will solve your problems. Good luck.
