Re: Rem700 trigger advise.
Unless it is a X-mark trigger, have a competent gunsmith work on the original trigger--not just adjust it, but hone some of the surfaces and really "tune" it. Mine is as good as any other trigger I've ever felt.

Re: Rem700 trigger advise.
how difficult is the X-mark to work on?
Another one that is not in this thread is the Jewel trigger. What are peoples experiences with them?

Re: Rem700 trigger advise.
why not get a 40X trigger. they are relatively inexpensive, and easy to work on.

They are not easy to work on if you want them to be no creep and little to no over travel. The no over travel part is really the big problem because the over travel set screw is joined to the safety mechanism. If you set the set screw to no over travel then you can not operate the safety. Also the X-mark has a tendency to creep in terms of pull weight. After using for a while the weight will increase even though the trigger set screws have not moved. Pull weight for some of the triggers I have worked with do not have the same pull weight if you close the bolt with varying force; cycle bolt, fire, cycle bolt, put into safe, take off safe, fire; do the bounce test to test safety of rifle. For me the shilen is much more consistent; I can eliminate over travel without bothering the safety. Pull weight does not creep up eventually like the X-mark.

Re: Rem700 trigger advise.
Reading though the Huber. What can you tell me about them? If you are looking for something that will take the rough and tumble. would also like something without serious fussy factor. They make reference to a magnetic trigger? Would you go SS?

Re: Rem700 trigger advise.
Jewell triggers are fantastic. Very adjustable and able to give you a wide range of trigger pull weights. I use them alot in my bench rigs. Zero problems.
