This is where I am as well.

I am a fan and owner of both brands, but always change trigger assembly on the 700. When you look for a custom trigger now days they're saying does not replace the new Remington triggers.

This is the stopper for me! I would not want a "new" Remington until I could find a custom trigger assembly to replace the factory problem...

Regarding Tikka, the only issue they have that I cannot live with is the recoil pads. This is an easy fix, just buy a "LimbSaver" prefit pad, unscrew the original with a phillips head, use the same factory screws for the replacement.

It is a little freaky when you look at the removed factory pad and realize the interior is completely hard plastic X pattern with only about 1/8" thick covering of rubber facade they are passing off as "recoil" pad, almost fraud.


Just looked at a SS T3x , very nice gun.
