Rem 700 trigger replacement

[Rotordude48]

Friend bought a new Rem 700 and got the trigger recall in the mail, any good suggestions on what he should replace it with that's better than the stock one?

Tell you buddy to go to Midwayusa.com, then search for 700 triggers. Plenty of good triggers, but a Remington stock trigger can be adjusted and smoothed up to make it just as good.

OP has the "stock" x-mark trigger that has been recalled by Remington

he needs a replacement since factor trigger is junk and dangerous


Timney is good ($125) and ideal for the guy who hunts and shoots his gun 3-4 times a year. Jewell is the Rolls Royce of triggers and priced around ($215)

Remington has always had problems with their triggers and its totally inexcusable on their part. For the last 25 years when I buy a new or used rem 700 they get dropped of at the gunsmith's for a trigger safety check, about six of them have had current issues. I now use Pitchford in Waller TX, he rebuilds them and replaces the springs, 2.5lb pull, cost is $60. If I were shooting targets I'd get a Timney or Jewell, but still have the gunsmith install it.

The trigger has two pins that hold it in place. The oem trigger work id let a smith do but timneys drop in at 2lbs in 15 minutes

I for sure wouldn't trust Remington to fix a trigger, you did the right thing by replacing it with a Jeweled.
