Trigger upgrades for Remington 700 and Ruger AR556?

[30-30]

I'm looking to upgrade the triggers on these two guns. The 700 trigger (2005, pre-recall) is very heavy with a hair of creep, and the AR556 is a little heavy with noticeable creep. Can these factory triggers be adjusted, or is replacement the way to go? Looking for decent upgrades on one or both, but not looking to break the bank. Thanks for recommendations.

All my ARs have either Timney or CMC triggers, and my son's pre-recall Rem Model 7 has a Rifle Basix. I put all of them in and have been completely satisfied.

Timney for the bolt,BTE for the AR.

You have several decent options on the 700. Timney, Trigger Tech, Shilen and Rifle Basix all make serviceable options on the lower end. Of those, I feel like the shilen can be adjusted to be pretty crisp with minimal over travel, the timney is less prone to dirt/grit interference and the trigger tech is the simplest for end user adjustment. Pick your poison. All are better than recent production Remington's.

Jewell for the bolt and Geissele for the AR. If I'm replacing a factory trigger, I'm wanting something significantly better.
All the best,

Words can not express how much I like my Jewell in my 700

For the 700, junk the factory and just replace. I've "tuned" a few and made them better... but still not as good as aftermarket

Ar- some of my teammates replaced with 2 stage timneys and they are awesome..... and over $200. I just worked my factory and changed springs and installed an over travel adjustment from "joe bobs ". All in I have about $35 in it and it's better than any factory 700 trigger (which ain't much). Very shootable in an ar-15... but not near a timney or other drip in.

If you like 2 stage Ar triggers then a rock river is as good as it will ever get for the money. 700 timney or a trigger tech. Anything more is the name,like bragging or the few extra tiny features are worth double to triple the money.

700, go with a jewel
On the AR I have shot CMC,Romney, Geissele would be happy with any of these
