Hoyt03 Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 The trigger pull on my Rem 700 30-06 is slightly heavier then I want. I would like to make it a hair trigger. Is this something that can easily be done w/ a Remington or should you take it to a shop somewhere. My dad is pretty good at stuff like this but just want some input before I go diving in.

AJ Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Re: Remington 700 trigger adjustment. The ease depends on the level of knowledge of the person doing the job. As I have stated many times before, unless you know how to do it, take it to a gunsmith. Safety is not worth the $50 for a trigger job.

bowana Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Re: Remington 700 trigger adjustment. Definate Liability in trigger tinkering 101. Best left to a qualified Gunsmith. I usually replace my Remington triggers with a Timmney trigger.....but that mean another 140 bucks installed. I'm just extreme! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearcat Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Re: Remington 700 trigger adjustment. Remington has a new trigger coming out this year called the X Mark Pro Fire Control trigger. It will be standard on 2007 model 7's and 700's. You can also buy one to put on existing models. The trigger is supposed to be factory set at 3lbs. and can be adjusted by the owner.

bowana Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Re: Remington 700 trigger adjustment. My latest purchase was a XCR in 375 Ultra Mag. The trigger sucks and the stock design is not a whole lot better. It does shoot well! I will replace the stock and trigger. My trigger scale reads about 5.3 lbs. Its not the weight, its the excessive creep. A gunsmith can adjust a Remington trigger by backing out two small set screws, then gluing them in place. Sorry, but things don't hold together well on Ultra Mags when they are glued. When I invest $5000-7500 in a hunt, I want to be fully confident in my equipment. Remington has a great action. Sounds like they know they need to address the trigger issue. Thier customer service is also second to none. Here is the procedure best explained.....but remember. Gunsmith only!
