Remington 700 Trigger

redpete

I have a new model 700 Rem. I didn't like the trigger, and attempted to put a new older Timmney trigger into my new 700, and ran into problems installing it. Is the older Timmney triggers different on installing then the new ones. I don't know if the older Timney trigger is only for older Rem. 700 models. Is there anything different on the newer Rem. 700's then the older 700's as far as installing a Timney trigger.
Thanks

I am thinking of buying a friends heavy barrel 22-250. It shoots great but the trigger is lighter (less than a pound) than I would like and the gun will fire if the bolt is SLAMMED forward (the main problem that I have with the rifle). He uses it for a paper target rifle. What would need to be done to make the rifle where it does not SLAM FIRE. Since it is Sunday, I can not call a local gunsmith. I was not sure if there is adjustments that could be made or a new trigger assembly, etc. What should this cost? Thanks

If the trigger on a Remington 700 has been adjusted by a gunsmith down to 2 pounds, how hard is it to get the trigger pull back up to 3 (or more) pounds?

The rifle would be used for deer hunting in northern Minnesota where I don't think cold weather, gloves and a light trigger are a good combination...

any one had expeirence with x mark pro triggers and will they work in older m700?

Is there an easy way to reduce or alter the trigger pull on my rem 700 30.06? There doesn't appear to be any adjustment screw. Thanks for any help!

redpete,

Adjusting most 'adjustable' triggers is not difficult but the balance necessary for a proper, SAFE trigger needs to be known and done through experience. A qualitfied gunsmith should be able to handle this for a small fee and time frame. Just bear in mind that this time of the year most gunsmiths are fixing the deer hunting rifles...

Best.

How long has the 700 had the trigger with the three adjustment screws?

If I do this, I will have an experienced gunsmith do the actual work...

How long has the 700 had the trigger with the three adjustment screws?

Since the 721/722 came out (1950 or so).

Here is a link to a adjustment...

Remember this is the subject of a recall and caution must be exercised when making the adjustment...

Can you give me some details on the recall?
