I'd add that the Remington trigger, while it can be reworked into a first class one, it can also collect debris, and moisture that can cause problems in the field.
For that reason, I've had much better luck and first class triggers from the open deigns in the older M70 Winchesters and the old tang safety Rugers. Something to consider in a hunting rifle. E

Doesn't sound like your going the serious competition route so I'd be looking at deer rifles. You can take your deer rifle to the range and have a ball target shooting. smile

On the other hand if you buy a heavy target style rifle and go hunting with it shooting it offhand as well carrying a heavy gun around all day is going to get old fairly quickly and you're going to be shopping for a hunting rifle.

Just put a Timney (w/safety) on son's 700LH. He likes it.
