I see zero sense even looking at Remington when there are solid, reputable companies out there like Tikka

Good bullets properly placed always work, but not everyone knows what good bullets are, or can reliably place them in the field

Hmmm... what's with what looks like 2-inch recoil pads on the CDL's when the chamberings only go up to 300 WM?
Did they have a bunch of short LOP stocks left over from the prior bunch that they then corrected with thick spacers?
The BDL's don't show that, only the CDL's. Remington must have thought the same thing. The CDL stock photo shows the old style stock. Not only did it have a more proportionate recoil pad, it was shaped better through the wrist of the stock and the comb was also shaped differently.

Tikka's wood stocks are a degree nicer than Remington, especially if you're not into the 80s-vintage ultra-high-gloss most 700s seemed to have. For new guns, Remington lost the cheap market to Ruger, Savage, and CVA and the mid-range market to Tikka, Browning, Bergara, and Howa. Competition isn't a bad thing, but the gun racks are a lot more crowded than before Remington set itself on fire and jumped off a cliff. It'll be interesting to see how the Alpha does in its price range.

Going to Timney isn't a bad thing. The Timney being non-adjustable isn't a good thing. I agree but its like they sort of get it right , but not quite right.

Help me understand this, years of complaining about Remington triggers, a new company buys Remington and address the issues folks have been complaining about for years so now you are not going to by one because it took so long to address these issues? Some of you guys would make a fine wife!

I will never own any more Remingtons !
Not for the frizzin' triggers.
But, for not going to court with good lawyers and evidence in the Sandy Hook Decision.
Remington opened the door for more law suits , in an area that was protected at the time.
They fooked the industry.

JPro has it right. Non adjustable Timney set between 3-4 lbs at the factory. If it is a crisp “breaks like glass three lbs” great! If it is a creepy or gritty 4 lb pull NOT great. This maybe a decent improvement maybe not. I don’t think anybody jumped for joy when Winchester introduced the MOA trigger to replace the original Model 70 trigger.
This is just another layer of protection from liability plaintiff attorneys. Remington is probably still wincing from the cost of all the Walker trigger law suits.
Worst case you buy a $150-200 Triggertech and move on.
The plus side is I have been hearing lots of positive about the new 700s in terms of fit, finish and quality of new production. I hope they turn it around and return to what they were in the 1970s and 1980s. Midway had a sale on Timneys. I bought 2 of them. ONe a straight trigger and one a flat trigger. I'm not sure which one I like better. kwg
