Gunsmithing REM 700 trigger

[cro789]

What would you recommend for a trigger? I am looking to replace a X-Mark trigger that I got on trade and it is one that needs to go back for the recall but I don't think Remington will let me.

Timney is always a great option

Shilen beats out the Timney in my opinion.

I just replaced my wife's X-Mark with the Timney Calvin Elite and have nothing but good things to say about it. Purchased it from OTM (On The Mark).

Factory old style Remington tuned by a smith.

My remmy trigger(old style)started varying all over the place and nut'n I did would correct it.
Just rec'd and installed my Timney/Calvin Elite, and OH-BOY is it sweet.
Did dial it up to just under 2lb pull weight, and it is very consistent.

A Calvin Elite will be replacing my worn out Jewel on pay day

Lots of options stated above. Either way, take the X Mark trigger, deposit it in the nearest trash can and pick your flavor of trigger above.

Timney is my personal choice. Works fantastic and won't break the bank. Plus it's easy to adjust. What more could you ask for.

I have a rifle basics on mine. It is better than the x mark but i would probably get something else next time around.

I like the Jewell triggers. Usually in discussions about triggers most of the others are said to be "just as good as a Jewell"; I just cut out the middle man.

I have a Jewel trigger on my Rem 700 5R MilSpec and love it.

I run a Shilen competition trigger on my rig and I love it. Honestly, I would go with the heavier "hunting" trigger if I had it to do over again as the comp trigger is just too light for most uses (read: dangerous). That said, I freakin love the crisp and predictable break of this trigger and it's well made and simple design.

I'm going for the Huber 2 Stage trigger. Spendy, but what the hell! Should be in the que soon.

 

[Tyler Ruhland]

Timney, Shilen, Jewell are all very good triggers. Figure out what the rifles primary purpose will be and how much you want to spend then make your decision. Either what you will be coming out light-years ahead!

 

[cro789]

I am going to use the rifle for training for short range sniping and also for long competition. Oh and to have fun with.

I've owned and/or used them all and nothing is smoother than a 2-stage Huber. More money than some of the above options but better than any other 2-stage trigger on a Remington 700. For a single stage trigger Jewel would be my choice but once you learn to shoot a 2-stage trigger it is very hard to use anything else.

The Huber 2 stage trigger I mentioned in this post was mailed yesterday. I called in to see if it was in the que yet, and guess who answered the phone. John Huber himself. It was pretty cool talking to him. It is coming out with 2.438 lb set up. There is a 10% discount and a nice TShirt if you use the coupon code from the TiborasaurusRex Huber trigger review.
Really looking forward to the new barrel and the Huber trigger on the .243! Pretty excited, should have that back in about 2 weeks, so I will let you all know how that feels.
