The problem with Remington triggers is that anyone (Bubba) with an Allen wrench or screwdriver can adjust them or spray them with WD-40. I knew a guy who bragged that all the triggers on his rifles were set at two ounces. I never wanted to hunt with him or be around him when he had a rifle near by. There are two ounce triggers out there, but the ones that come on the rifle from the factory should not be adjusted so that two ounces is all it takes when in the gun room.
There are a few bubbas that should not take the barreled action out of the stock, should not be sold screw drivers, allen wrenches,, red lock-tite or any kind of glue and maybe shouldn't be carrying a rifle, IMHO.
THIS^^^!!!! In spades.
I've bought M700's that somebody had reduced the sear engagement to half of what Remington recommends. One here on the 'fire Classifieds. Trigger was probably less than a pound.
Bought a very nice 1975 vintage A series M700 that I'm pretty sure the stock had never been off of it. When I pulled the stock off dirt, wood debris from the stock, pine cones, dead squirrels, etc, came out. The trigger housing was so caked the little window where the sear engagement can be viewed was entirely plugged.
In every case it was an "accidental discharge" waiting for a happening. The Walker trigger's undoing was the M700's are the most popular bolt action sporting rifle in North America, and the trigger was eminently adjustable.
