Ive heard good things about the Timneys.
I did a bit of searching, but I can't seem to find the "normal" standard trigger that Remington used before they switched to using the x-mark. Do you know some places where I could get one?hypno said:I'd save the money and find a 'normal' 700 trigger.
Good info Boone, I hadn't really looked at it closely. I wonder if melting the lacquer and making the adjustment if the "adjustment" would stay in place with the lacquer melted? I suppose I could use a bit of lock tite on there.Boone said:They can be adjusted the same way as the old ones. Take a lighter to the rear of the trigger assembly melt off the lacker and have away.
I probably will replace the trigger with a different one but keep the stock one should I need any warranty work done. Just swap the stock one back in before shipping off to Remington!BK said:The only thing you would need to think about is any warranty work will probably be denied from Remington.

Those look like nice triggers. I have the x-mark trigger on my SPS Tactical now, but it looks like they have a complete package for either style of trigger.
Nice find, thanks.
Depending on what you'll be using the rifle for, I'd go with the Jewell, Shilen, old Remington, X Mark in that order. If you are going to use it as a Tactical match style, keep what you have and have it worked over by a good Gunsmith. If you are playing for Fame and Fortune, go with the Jewell. Canjar is no longer in business but you can find their triggers for sale every now and then. They were great in 1965 but they let technology pass them by. Timney and Rifle basic are good triggers but not any better than Remington.thornblom said:Hey ya'll,
Don't overlook Ed Shilen's products out of Ennis, Texas. He makes some of the most accurate barrels around and also triggers for the 700 Remington.
I can remember a time in benchrest circles if you weren't shooting a Shilen rifle, you were only competing for 2nd place. To beat a Shilen, you had to be shooting a Shilen.
When my Remington 700 vsf starts shooting consistantly over 1" groups, it's going to Ed Shilen for a select grade match barrel and match trigger.
