Work on Rem 700 triggers

[Dusty Stevens]

I did have to drill out the holes to the original size removing the cerakote that did get in them.

it doesnt take much to bind a trigger sear and change the weight. check around for that maybe you'll find a problem.

Both the Model 7's I have have had their triggers fiddled with. The 6mm Rem was a novice job by the previous owner but the 223 was done by a competent smith here in NZ. They're both well under 3lbs.
The 223 trigger is a joy and I've shown it to many guests as how a good trigger should be.
Zero creep or over-travel and breaks like glass @ 2 1/4 lb.

Thanks for the tip. I will examine that area better than see if that is the problem.

Keep us informed. Some actions are tighter than others. Make sure the trigger slips in without force

Seemed like it did. Just needed to drill out the pin holes a bit from the cerakote. All went well after that. I'll pull it out later and make sure I check tolerances. Putting a Shilen trigger in it later on today. May try the Remington trigger in a non cerakoted action.

What's the intended/expected pull weight on these when done?

1 3/4 or 2 lbs. He said he can safely take them down to 1 1/2 lbs . With no issues guarantees it

I do my own, and 2-21/4 LB safely is the norm. I've yet to attempt to hone or respring one though. There's two members here that tune them for near half that price. As a matter of fact one of them has a few listed right now already tuned for that price.

Just talked to Neil Jones . I'm going to send him 2 triggers and see how he does $75 each I don't think it's too bad of a price. And he's going to thin the trigger shoe down also. www.neiljones.com

I see you already got the right answer. He does amazing work. Better than a Timney.

75.00 with shipping. I just contacted him. Not bad for a custom work trigger.

 

[Jaybo]

I mailed him to triggers today. I'll let y'all know how they turn out when they get back. I've had a couple of people pm me And tell me how good of work he does and I wouldn't be unsatisfied .

These 2 700s have the Walker trigger adjusted at 19 and 20oz, very easy to adjust.

Take the trigger shoe off, or is the factory trigger too thin?

The trigger on the Remington 700 trigger is wider than what I like so he's going to make it smaller like a jewel style trigger.

Oh,
I was confused because you talked about a trigger shoe being on the trigger. I assumed that you wanted the thickness to be thicker than the trigger, yet thinner than with a trigger shoe on it. Is this on an old style Remington, or the new X Mark Pro whatever triggers. My Coopers seem to be wide like the old Remington triggers, and that drives me crazy. I much prefer the trigger thickness of the X Mark Pro, but not the trigger mechanism.

Is the bottom one rebarreled with Classic stock? Very nice looking.

Rebarreled and restocked, used to be a Varmint Special 308. Arnold Arms did it for 65 bucks with shipping.

Gosh I love the older Rem 700 triggers wide shoe. For some reason I just do not like a thin trigger.

 

[Jaybo]

I got the triggers back yesterday installed one in a 308. Took it the range today and ran 20 rounds through it to see how it function. Brakes crisply at 1-1/2 lb. mr. Neal Jones knows his stuff he does good work would definitely use them again. And it only took 2-1/2 weeks to get them back

That’s myself and my brother. We only tune older walker triggers. Stoned and new spring, no creep or over travel. Tuned and return shipping for $45 a trigger. 1 week turn around time.
