I just accept that a 700 needs a little work to reach it's best. I agree, the new factory triggers aren't worth fooling with, and just for over the money for a Timney. Lots of good trigger options now, but I do like the Timneys a lot. Combine that with a good bedding job, insure the barrel is free floated in a good stock, and you generally have an accurate rifle. John Barsness, who has a lot of experience shooting different rifles, said a tuned 700 generally shoots very close with most custom rifles. I agree, I own 5 currently, and have many others in the past. 1" or better at 100yds is the norm.
