Trigger Upgrade for Rem 700?

[LAH]

I have a 700 Remington BDL sporter in 22-250. The Walker Trigger has proven just fine for varmints the size of groundhogs but for Prairie Dogs, especially out past 250 yards, I need a better trigger. The way I choose to shoot dogs isn't the steadiest so a good trigger would be a great help. I don't need a 2 oz. trigger but I do need something less than a pound. Help me out here guys.

Thanks Andy.

Jewell hvr
I’m sorry I got distracted right when I was writing that. It would be perfect for the 8-12 ounce range.

Timney Hit may be a good one during the Jewell drought.

You will be using the rifle in dusty conditions ect
Trigger Tech is a better answer than Jewel in my experience
Keep the Jewel on a bench

The Jard single stage is worth a look. The couple I've worked with have been very good.

Trigger Tech is a better answer

If you happen to decide to go with TriggerTech, Brownells has 20% off TODAY only. I just order a Diamond.

I prefer the Shilen.

Jewels in all my rifles.

Triggertech Diamond would be your best bet.

 

[Larryh128]

Triggertech, any of them will work.

 

[L.Sherm]

Triggertech Diamond would be your best bet.

Not on a factory 700, TT recommends not to put them on factory 700's.
Diamond doesn't have a bolt release either.

I have a Timney Calvin Elite in several of my rifles and really like them for field use.

Trigger Tech Specials have the bolt release. They also make a two stage Special for a factory 700.

I know that I have a special on a 700 we were talking Diamond which I have on a Dafiance.
The reason I didn't bring up a special is because they won't go below a pound which the O.P wants

I have trigger tech on a R700 300 Win mag and I love it JMHO

Sherm, I have seen you on other forums and know you are a stand up guy. I brought up the Special two stage because the first and second stages can be brought down to 8 ozs of trigger pull each.

Trigger Tech is a great trigger (I have a few) but the Rem 700 Walker trigger IMO is a great trigger. I have one on my old M40a1. Take some time to drop the weight and it’s great.

Trigger Tech Diamond, Jewel and Timney HIT are all very good triggers for hunting or precision rifles.

I have a couple of jewels that are better than my HIT but also a couple that aren’t.

The Diamond is nice, it is creep free as advertised, but I don’t know that it’s worth the money when comparing it side by side to the HIT. I wouldn’t say the HIT has creep. It’s more like the shoe is just a looser fit.
