| If you were to get some very thin shim stock, drill the proper size hole in it and trim it to fit under the Cir-clip that holds the safety lever on to the trigger. That might make it "stiffer" to move.

| Did someone work on the trigger and leave out the little ball bearing? Just a possibility if it is real loose. |

No -- it is in there -- for what ever reason this unit is the softest I have ever had on a Remington 700
OMG!-- my bow is "pull-push feed" - how dreadfully embarrasing!!!!!

| You might check the ball diameter...If someone had the rifle apart they might have lost the original and installed one that is undersize. |

| I had a broken safety lever on a 1971 model and just replaced it with one from Rifle Basix and it works real nice. They give you all the pieces you need. $29 in Midway. |

| 1) Try to fit a stiffer spring under the ball or 2) Check to see if the detent recess on the safety lever, where the steel ball snaps in, is deep enough. If it's not, carefully deepen it just a bit. A drill press or Dremel tool and a pointed grinder bit would do that job pretty well. |
