OK, I give up. What the hell can be done to make the factory trigger on a new Mod 700 break at a reasonable weight. I can handle the overtravel, but how do you reduce the pull? ------------------ | ||

A good 'smith in your neck of the woods is Neil Jones...check out www.benchrest.com and look on the left side of the screen. Does great work and is inexpensive. I have one of his triggers that he set at 1.5 pounds...safety works and can't make it slam-fire and crisp as a glass rod breaking. | |||

Tweesdad, You can try http://www.snipercountry.com/RemingtonTriggers.htm or http://benchrest.com/wwwboard/index.cgi?read=58555 for instructions on adjusting your 700 trigger. It'll be much nicer when you're done than it is now. Of course, you can just buy a Jewell and install it without doing this adjustment nonsense, and you'll wonder why you never bought the Jewell sooner! Regards, George. | ||

Last winter I found the trigger adjustment instructions that came with my -06 when I bought it new in 1968. I'll scan it in and post it as soon as I remember where I put it................. ------------------ | ||

Was Tweesdad being sarcastic with the "SIR"? Maybe I need to rethink a bit....I always figure that I should do what I can do well and if I can't do it well to get someone who knows what they are doing to do it. I think this is especially true of things like triggers and safeties and other things that it is important to have done right. To me a good safe trigger is almost as important to good shooting as a good barrel, proper bedding and a good set of sights. | |||

No, I was most definately not being sarcastic. Military upbringing, training, and a long time as a Cop have taught me to be polite when expressing thanks to someone who has rendered aid and comfort. Once again, thank you SIR ------------------ | |||

Does the "New" trigger lack the adjustment screws?? Some kind of lawer designed thing?? The old one is easy to adjust. See the sniper country article. | |||

Nope, new trigger has screws. Downloaded instructions as advised by D B Bill, and it now pulls 29 oz. on my scale. Problem solved. Yo Bill, thanks again ------------------ | |||
