    I made the mistake of thinking a Diamond will work in a remmy 700 and having issues of the trigger no resetting. It’s set at like 2lbs and researching that I can upgrade the shroud and firingpin assembly

    give me your input. It’s for a .223 trainer
     
    Why won't it work?
    I had a accidental discharge because it didn’t reset the firing pin and the sear engagement/friction is inconsistent
    I contacted Triggertech, they inform me diamonds are for 700 clones, not rem700s. And if I want it to work, I need a gun smith to time my bolt to the trigger.
     
    If you run the bolt fast, it runs into that specific issue.
     
    Sell it and buy a Bix'n Andy Tacsport single stage, or a Dakota trigger.
    For SURE.

    FuuuuuhhHHHHHHHck that shit! There are enough R700 triggers to choose from that that shouldn’t even be in consideration.
     
    That's why I'm a Bix n Andy believer.

    TT hasn't worked well in any stock 700 I've tried.
    I have a special and it wont work unless it's well over 2lbs. Same thing on all 3 of my Remington 700s. So they told me to get this...

    From their web site "The TriggerTech Diamond Rem 700 Trigger (for cloned actions only)"

    For exactly what cloned actions?

    That looks like Pacific tool and Gauge font... Run far away from that shit

    You'd probably have to send it to LRI for a time and TIG job.

    I have a Geissele I might be willing out a trade deal on. Shoot me a PM if you're interested.

    Well did you try this? I sent my bolt to gretan today and it’s my last route before just upgrading my 223 action lol
