What do you consider the proper trigger pull?

Remington finally changed their trigger design a while back due to a M700 design flaw that was known since the 60�s. The problem was that some rifles could fire on the release of the safety. The number of rifles affected varied by model but I think it was about 1% for normal M700s and near 50% for M600�s or whatever they called them.

Remington knew of the problem and preferred to pay off lawsuits rather than fix the design. Only recently (a few years back) did they issue a recall. Most of the affected rifles have not been modified and probably never will be.

Sounds to me like a good reason to go cold until actually ready to shoot.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
