    Remington 700 sear - why can't I find a high-quality replacement?

    Now with the recall, I guess I'll just go out and buy a Jewell trigger anyway!

    Remington 700 sear - why can't I find a high-quality replacement?

    Aha! Ok, now it makes sense. I couldn't see any photos where that part was included, but then I found the complete writeup which mentions that: Real Guns - Making A Good Hunting Rifle Even Better - Jewell Trigger

    Remington 700 sear - why can't I find a high-quality replacement?

    Definitely just personal preference on my part. But upon looking I'm just surprised I can't find any for the Remington 700. I can find aftermarket high-end sears for my CZ 452. Seems odd.

    Remington 700 sear - why can't I find a high-quality replacement?

    Evidently I'm using the wrong term for the part. I believe it is officially called the "sear safety cam". I don't think it is included with a Jewell trigger.

    Remington 700 sear - why can't I find a high-quality replacement?

    This mystified me after I took apart my Remington 700 Milspec 5R and saw the cheap-looking MIM factory sear. Why doesn't anyone make a nice machined replacement sear? It seems odd that there don't seem to be any available for a rifle as common as the Remington 700.
