I am working on my first model 700. Current trigger pull 5 lbs. Looking to reduce to 2.5 to 3 lbs and hopefully correct the "safety design problem" that many talk of on this forum. Looking at replacing the trigger with a Timney, but I see that you must use the original safety lever. Does this Timney trigger with the original safety lever have the same problem with the safety? Should I consider other options? This is for hunting, not bench rest shooting. I. plan to glass bed and work up a load for it. I don't want to put a ton of money into a trigger. This is my nephews rifle. I am concerned about the safety. Thanks | ||

Quote: Hmm, a post about triggers from trigger. O'well I have had no problem with the bolt comming open going through brush. I have no problem with the two posistion safety. My problem may be different. I don't know if my experiance is common, but the trigger on my M700 BDL from the mid seventies stopped working one day. I had not messed with the trigger! I loaded the rifle, through the bolt forward and bang the gun went off. I tried it again, Bang the gun went off. I went home read on the internet about how the trigger is adjusted. Tried several time to adjust the trigger, but I never could get the trigger to work properly. I think a spring broke. Although Remington said if I send the the rifle they would install a new trigger, I opted to install a Timney. No issues, I didn't need to adjust anything. Works fine. | |||

Bolt will still open on safe no matter what brand of trigger you buy. Unfortunatley walking around in thick brush the bolt handle can be opened unintentionally . I prefer it to lock in place and if you buy the Timney 3 pos safety for a 700 it will lock in place. If you have experience with a 700 trigger then you can do the sear and overtravel else just work on trigger pull weight which should take a few minutes and use a trigger scale. | |||

I put a Shilen trigger on mine and it's a vast improvement. | |||
