Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles What trigger for a Remington

I recently picked up a 700 with the x mark pro adjustable trigger.
It has been messed with and is not safe. I adjusted the trigger as tight as it will go and still will not hold the sear with a hard bolt close
Was thinking about a simple TriggerTech primary, Or is it worth the extra$ for the special?
Opticsplanet has one listed for $119, but read negative reviews about there business practice of selling out of stock items

I have a Trigger Tech primary and it works great for me.

My opinion it would depend on how low a setting you want your trigger to go. Several triggers out there will go down to two and a half pound range and not cost a lot. If you want to get down there below a pound you limit your numbers and they cost a little more you want to get down there in the low ounces this is where Jewel shines.

I've bought several triggers from Opticsplanet.The Independence is an annual special run from Triggertech.They are the same as their regular primary trigger.It's hard to beat the price.It took about a week to receive mine.I'd jump on it before they are out of stock if your looking for a trigger. https://www.opticsplanet.com/triggertech-remington-700-primary-independence-trigger.html

I have a primary and 2 specials.

I prefer the special.

the primary works fine for me

+1, OP is GTG and the Primary is fine for a hunting rifle or tactical style shooting.

I have single stage Diamonds, Specials, and recently 2 of the Independence Primary's. Happy with all of them. On a side note, if you are building on a Zermatt Origin Action, they now come timed, (U15 cocking piece/undersized .015"), to the Triggertech Triggers.

Old school here Walker and proper maintenance..mb

I have a Timney in one of mine and I love it.

I have them with both Triggertech and Timney. Both work just fine.

Old school walker tuned up by 24hr member. (805) Mine is 2lbs, super crisp...every bit as good as a timney or trigger tech I think. I have had a few over the years.

Look in the classified or maybe pm him.

I have done several for myself that are very nice 2 lb triggers sometimes slightly less. But unless he already has an old one to work with the new style triggers are junk in my book.

I have a TriggerTech Primary in the one M700 that I own. Couldn’t ask for a better trigger.

No extra Remington triggers here. Will probably go with the T.T.
Although when talking with them this morning he happen to say hopefully its not a timing issue.
Not sure if I can fix that if it is..

Primary:1.5 to 4lbs
Special: 1 to 3.5lbs

For a varminter, the special might come in handy, but for an all-around hunting rifle, IMO, the extra cheddar for the special isn't warranted.

Timney

Timney here also.

I just call the factory tell them what i want and to set the trigger at 2 1/2 lbs. I don't have to mess with it and screw something up and it not be safe.

I’ve replaced a couple of the x-mark triggers with Timneys.

Same answer.

It’s a tough question. I have the original Walker that’s been adjusted, I have two Timneys, one Jewel, and a Triggertech. If I just had to choose my favorite, I guess I would say Jewel. But the rest are still real good. I like to try out different brands and my next one will be a Shilen.
