Featherweight. interesting. Had not seen those before.
I wonder how many guys who have rifles that come with a 3 position safety know enough to use it properly.

‘Ya know, if the rifle is pointed in a safe direction, as it always should be, the is no danger of injury to anyone. Of my 50 plus Walker triggers on 700’s and a lone model 7 I have never had a problem.
Send all those Walker triggers you are replacing to me!

I’ve replaced 3 Remington 700 triggers with timneys and 2 vanguards series 1 also with timney.. Remingtons I done cause I didn’t trust them after a few stories, although I never had any trouble with them. Vanguard’s I done just cause the factory triggers sucked.
I also installed 2 rifle basix triggers on savage 110’s which also appeared to be decent triggers.
I was wondering if anyone has put a rifle basix in a Remmy and how you feel they stack up ? It appears the trigger tech is the favourite.

I would order a Trigger Tech even if you didn’t have problems. This. I saw an email announcing a Trigger Tech sale recently...maybe eurooptic.

I love the 3 position safety on my M70s. Walking/sneaking thru the woods, the safety is all the way back in case the bolt get lifted going thru brush. When I am on stand, the safety is in the middle position as I can sneak it off safe quietly, with one less click. Obviously safety in middle position when loading or unloading round in the chamber.
I know 2 guys who had problems with their Walker triggers so I changed it out to a Timney trigger with their 3 function safety (I believe designed by Melvin Forbes). This safety locks the bolt down on safe. It looks like a 2 position safety but to unload, with the safety back and on, you push down on the safety lever and the bolt is unlocked allowing one to unload the rifle without taking the safety off.

had one I bought in 1979, in 30/06, that has gone off 3 times with the safety on.... factory set trigger...
Sits in the gunsafe....but the trigger I finally replaced with a Timney...
also had the bolt handle break off.... repaired by a campfire gunsmith...
