Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Remington X Mark Pro Trigger

About 10 years ago, I bought a Remington 700 SPS Tactical rifle in 223. It wouldn't shoot. There were a few things wrong with it, but one was a dismal XMP trigger. The screw came right out of the the trigger group and the pull weight never changed. I realize that this was the trigger that was involved in the recall.

I understand that some people do not like factory Remington triggers. I have read here that the best repair is removing it and installing a Timney. The bad press has been going on for years. I was doing a Google search, trying to find out about the post 2014 X Mark Pro trigger, but cannot seem to find exactly what they did to make things right. Was it simply using less Loctite, or did they do something else to modify the design? Is the XMP trigger better, post 2014?

I have put in an information request to Remington, but my spidey sense tells me that their response will sound like a cheerleading squad.
