I've got 1 Shilen trigger, bought/installed it in '08. I've got +/- 3000 rounds through that rifle without any issues. That Shilen is easily my favorite aftermarket in a 700. Admittedly, I haven't owned a large number of aftermarket examples but I prefer it to the Rifle Basix, and Timney that I've owned.

None of the 700 triggers, factory or aftermarket "scare" me, they all do what they're supposed to with but a little TLC once and a while.


I can walk on water.......................but I do stagger a bit on alcohol.
