Is it worth spending £200 plus on a Timney Trigger to swap out the xMark Pro on my Rem 700. Its adjusted OK and it's usable.

If you shoot to satisfactory results with it I'd leave it alone. Do you have the adjustable or non-adjustable X-Mark Pro? Is there a ping mark on the bolt stop lever? IF it has no ping mark it needs to be replaced under warranty.

Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo.

I do not know what that is but no trigger is going to be worth 200 pounds to me. That is the price of a rifle.

200 GBP = 250 (+/-) USD

You can back out the hex screw in the trigger bow and see what kind of pull that gives you.

Remington spec is to set the trigger to between 3.5 and 4 lbs with the primary housing adjustment screw which is the bottom screw on the front of the trigger housing. Then crank in the secondary trigger screw to under 5 lbs. So most of these come from the factory with about a 4.5-5 lb pull.

You can usually get around a 3 lb pull(safe) by turning the primary out further. Remember to seal with lacquer or super glue. Don't mess with the engagement and over travel unless you have a very good understanding of these triggers. Close the bolt sharply at least 3-4 times after adjustment to make sure there is no follow down of the sear. Also place the trigger on safe, pull the trigger hard and take off safe three times. Striker should not fall.

Thanks gentlemen- as always useful advice. Allen keys and a bit of fettling seems the order of the day rather than spending hard earned cash first - well I do live in Scotland - land of deep pockets and short arms Smiler

Another positive vote for the TriggerTech product.


Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times.

Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times.
