Had a timney installed and still does the same thing, my buddies didn't believe me until they shot it. You can duplicate this with a trigger pull gauge and fired cases in the shop, but the local rem service center (dealer) just looks at me strange like I am nuts when I tell them about it even though they (dealer) sold it to me. Any ideas what would be causing this.

Are you comparing the tigger pull on an empty chamber to a chamber with a fired case.
If so, bolt position maybe the culprit.
On the surace bot alignment would not affect the sear engaement. But in practice it can happen. It can even be as simply as the speed at which you close the bolt handle down.
If you are testing witha fired case and empty chamber, perhaps you might compare an empty chamber to a full lenght sized case tha has been sized sufficient so as to have some head space.

Also, the accuracy of this gun has been terrible even with a 4.5 x 14 Leupold on it and I have tried several other scopes to boot. When I tried to seat bullets out to touch the lands I only get one or two rifle marks on the bullet which really blows me away. The smith I use has suggested setting back the barrel and then reaming to correct size.
I will try some brass that isn't so tight and see about the trigger pull. Could it be possible that there is something binding in the bolt when it is cocked, that is where I am leaning or could the action not be square and when cocked causing uneven pressure. I am guessing here, I have never seen another rifle do this.
Also, the pull will vary with the fired brass when it is out of the stock, I thought early on that might be a problem but I checked the inletting after installing the Timney and there was plenty of room.

I would contact Remington and tell them you have a dangerous rifle that you bought from them, and ask them to replace it with a new unit.
With the lawsuits experience they have, I expect they will help you out.
