rem 700 new trigger

[Crouch valley]

Hi i have a rem 700 dm in 243 cal and im thinking of puting a new trigger in it as the original one has broke any suggestions as to which type. I mainly use it for foxing and a bit of stalking. The new triger must have a safety and be a nice light pull.

I fitted both my Remingtons with Rifle Basix triggers. They are relatively cheap but you do have to fit the factory safety yourself and the E clip that holds this on is ****

The Jewell triggers are supposed to be the creme de la creme, but are substantially more expensive. The only drawback I found with the Rifle Basix varmint trigger was that it was if anything too light.

TBH I can't remember now. I actually bought two of them. One was the ERV extended range varmint which goes from 4oz to 1.25lbs. The other was a target trigger L-3 which is 2-6oz. I wouldn't recommend that one though for field use. The LV-1 is adjustable from 8oz to 1.5lbs and is probably the best option.

Agreed. I had the heavier one on mine and it was a little heavy still. Good triggers though!

I've got a timney on my 700 which seems fine certainly shoots well enough with it

I have the same on my Weatherby and what a difference, it is also a 3 stage safety which is handy.

Hi mate, I've got a 700 trigger with the connector bar broken, you can have it if its a different bit that's gone on yours.

 

Factory 700 triggers are high quality and easily adjustable to a reasonable weight, there's no need to spend £200 on a replacement

In the post today mate, hope it helps.
