Surgeon Trigger Recomendations

[Michael Ray]

I had a 591 Scalpel built two years ago. When it was built there wasn't a two stage trigger available through Surgeon. I went with the single stage Timney Calvin Elite sigle stage with the intention on swapping it out later. I want a two stage trigger due to the fact that this is a work rifle and it must have a mininium pull 3.5# pull weight. A two stage helps with this weight and also I feel it's better since I would feel the trigger moving if I inadvertently started applying pressure to the trigger before it was go time. When I first got the rifle I tried a CG two stage in it but the cocking piece and sear were too close. When the trigger was depressed the cocking piece would slide to a stop on the sear before contacting the primer. When Timney released the two stage trigger I bought it thinking it would work since I already had a Timney in it. However it did not work and had the same problem the CG did. The two stage has a different sear design than the single stage. I saw where Surgeon just had Timney make the two stage trigger that will work with their actions. I called them and was told they didn't sell the triggers to the public. After I explained to them I purchased a built rifle from them they stated they would get back with me. I have yet to hear from them. I had been told by a prs shooter at a local shop that someone was making a cocking piece that would fit a Surgeon shroud that would allow it to work with other triggers, but I cannot remember the name of the company that was working on this. Does anyone on here know about this or have any advise on getting a two stage trigger to work in my 591 action. I'm getting no where with Surgeon sales or customer service.

Will that fit for sure?

The impossible only takes longer w/ more funding if you aren't a machine setup/operator.

I don't see where all these suggestions for other Remington 700 pattern triggers will help if there is something about the Surgeon cocking piece that keeps it from working with ALL standard 700 Pattern triggers. Surgeon would be wise to make this right.
Lots of great actions out there with no such issues.

Jewell triggers work just fine in my Surgeons.

Jewell triggers work just fine in my Surgeons.

The Surgeon website states that 700 triggers work. I have had some issues with Timneys in the past, Just poor quality control, so maybe it's not the action. The OP wants a 2 stage, last I heard Jewell had stopped making them. That leaves Bix'n'Andy for a trigger that's as good as it gets.

Bix'n Andy TacSport with out a doubt! It will work just fine.
