Been readying a new build and considering using this trigger. During research, a couple questions have arisen that i can't seem to find the answers to:
1) Safety lever operation: is there a difference in the amount of force required to push safety to OFF versus the force required to pull safety ON? I've used a Savage rifle in the past that operated same as a Remington style trigger safety and it requires quite a bit more force to push OFF, while it's easy to pull to ON, and I've actually come to appreciate this little design feature. My first rifle was an AW308 and the safety was pretty chintzy, with no real detents to it, rather just a kinda floaty here-there-wherever feel to it, and I did not like it at all.
2) Are there any operational flaws or issues with the current 700 pattern CG Xtreme Mod22 trigger system?
There have been at least two reports of safety issues with the trigger system:
On the thread 2 Stage Triggers, post #28 dated 04NOV17 SPAK reported
That thread further goes on to raise questions about the aforementioned Tom Meyers, and suggests that a change in producer or supplier occurred away from X-treme, although I see today that X-treme Shooting Products LLC is apparently still involved.
My understanding is that these are used on some of the US military's weapons quite successfully, so not sure what to make of the above posts.
Thanks for any info you can provide!

Then from the thread X treme trigger, post #8 dated 15JUL17 a Matt Garrett stated in partI just bought a cg22. Really nice trigger. Pulls very consistent and user adjustable. It does have a wierd issue that the Saftey can be engaged from the fired position. If you run the bolt like this the firing pin goes forward. As long as you leave the Saftey lever in “fire” after you pull he trigger everything functions normally. You can run the bolt engage Saftey and all is well. No slam fires, Saftey goes on when bolt is cocked doesn’t fire when slammed.
Called Tom Meyers and apparently there was a change in the Saftey mechanism of the trigger to make it easier to accurate that now allows that behavior.
Installed Model 22 Mil-spec Trigger. Would not go on safe after firing pin fell and it was recocked. If you (dry)fired, bolted the rifle, and tried to push the safety lever to the "safe" position. You had to take the bolt out of battery to engage the trigger to "Safe" each and every time.
