Just picked this up in a trade, unfired, and looks untampered with. So why does this thing have an 8oz trigger pull?? Kinda light, and reminds me of a Savage accutrigger on their varmint-target series. I'm not complaining, cause its a target rifle when I get a scope mounted, but man thats light for a factory trigger!!

Hi JD,

I have an LTR in .223 that I purchased new from the factory in 2008, and I can tell you it would have taken at least two lawyers to pull that trigger when the gun was fresh out of the box. I would guess somebody monkeyed with the trigger - do all the screws on the trigger still have epoxy over them?

If the gun is really factory new, you might want to have a gunsmith check the trigger out (if you don't know how to vette it yourself) because 8 ounces from the factory just isn't right.

Cheers,

Russ

Russ, havn't pulled the action off the stock, but I will now and look.
 
Re: Question for you Rem700 LTR owners

Action screws were very tight! But no epoxy on any of the 3 set screws. Rifle does look unfired or touched. How do I know what triggers in this thing? I'm a total Rem 700 newbe!
 
Re: Question for you Rem700 LTR owners

just shot my ltr for the first time a couple weeks ago.....the triger felt light too...but i like the feel of it
 
Re: Question for you Rem700 LTR owners

After looking online, its not an X mark pro. Mine has 3 set screws on the front face of the trigger assembly
 
Re: Question for you Rem700 LTR owners

I also just picked up an LTR and the trigger on my rifle seems light for a factory trigger. It does feel nice though. Going to the range this week.
 
Re: Question for you Rem700 LTR owners

Can you get a piture of the trigger (without stock) online. We may be able to give you better help at that point.
 
Re: Question for you Rem700 LTR owners

my LTR came with about a 1 1/2lb trigger

Re: Question for you Rem700 LTR owners

You got the older style remington trigger. Consider yourself lucky as that is a better trigger than the X-mark. I've used both and wouldn't mind replacing my X-mark with the older style.
 
Re: Question for you Rem700 LTR owners

Mine came with a 40X trigger at about 2.5lbs. I don't think that trigger above is a older 700 trigger, doesn't look like the ones I've seen. I'm not up on the various triiger options but I'm sure someone will be along who does.
 
Re: Question for you Rem700 LTR owners

My old Rems have slotted screws in it. That has allen. Thinking something other than older Remington.
