Re: Best trigger for a Remington 700 aac-sd
I bought a Rifle Basix based on reviews here. So far, so good.
I'd also buy a Timney as I hear they are even better.

Re: Best trigger for a Remington 700 aac-sd
I went with a Timney on my 700- 5R in an AICS and it has an awesome crisp feel...I have adjusted it down to 2 lbs. A few things that I don't like though, you can decide if these are really negatives for you:
1) The bolt release gets stuck open sometimes. Not a real problem, I can dig the latch back out with a pocket knife but I just wish it moved back on it's own.
2) I had to mill space out in the AICS stock for the safety to work without binding
3) the trigger shoe is quite a bit wider than the stock Remington... again not a big deal but I liked to feel of the orginal Rem shoe
I know it sounds negative but I'm still happy with the Timney because I'm a lot more accurate with it over the stock trigger that came with my rifle.
Quite a few of the people I've shot with use the Rifle Basix trigger and are completely happy with it. I may try a Basix next or the CG Jackson in a two stage.

Rifle Basix is great, I had an issue with a trigger I ordered (My fault) and I was sent another one right away. I didn't have to send my trigger back and then I'd get a replacement. Trigger is great too.

It doesn't really need a new trigger, but if you have money to burn a Timney 510 is a good trigger.

+1 a well tuned stock trigger can run with the best of them IMO, but I really only liked the old style Rem triggers. If you are set on a aftermarket trigger though, Shilen's triggers are very nice.

Re: Best trigger for a Remington 700 aac-sd
I have used on my 5R:
Stock trigger
Timney 510 set to 2 lbs
Jewell, set to 1.5lbs
Huber 2 stage set to 2 lbs
The rifle has been sold but if I had to do it again, for the money I would select the Timney.

I put a Timney 510 in my AAC-SD and like it a lot. More consistent and better break, IMHO, than the x mark pro factory trigger.

Re: Best trigger for a Remington 700 aac-sd
I have used many aftermarket triggers for a 700, I realy like the Shilen standard trigger the best. It is a very consistant trigger and out of the 3 I have had they are more reliable than the Jewells I have owned. I have seen the Timney triggers have issues with clearance b/c the body is too thick when using the factory safety. In my opnion the Shilen is the way to go.

I just found an old style trigger for sale on the hide for $55 and bought it. Going to use my 200 credit at midway on some ammo. Thanks for the replys guys. If this old trigger doesn't work out I can refer to your help.

Huber two stage tactical or Timney. Ya can't go wrong with either on of them.
