Best bang for the buck trigger for Remington 700

[lrgrendel]

Probably been asked many times before but thought I'd get some input any way....

308 WIN 26" most shooting prone or from the bench.

Thanks

Have a smith rework an old style remmy trigger or go with the Timney 510

I vote Timney would be the best bang.

Gotta go with the Calvin Elite as well. Little more money than the 510s but very easy to shoot. Got mine set around 1 lb. for the bench/prone.

Hard to argue against the Calvin elite for the price. Damn nice trigger.

I've been very satisfied with the Shilen triggers.

I am a big fan of the Timeny 517

I'd go with a old factory rem tuned correctly.

Had a timney 510 and switched to a jewel set at 1.5# will never go back the jewel has a crisper brake

I run a Calvin Elite, but if we are talking "best bang for the buck" I would say a tuned early model factory Rem trigger is fine. You can find them on the secondary market for about $40 and tune yourself, if competent, or have a smith tune it for a small labor fee. Maybe $90-100 total cost. Just my thoughts...

Shilen, non-stainless. They are very nice, I had one on a 6.5CM and had no complaints (I've owned Jewel as well). Not sure of the details but a couple of people have warned me away from the stainless models.
