cmc Report post Posted October 29, 2010 Coues&Bass said: Ruger! no trigger problems with a sweet pull right out of the box. I can't say I agree with that. I put a Timney trigger in my Ruger M77 due to the poor one from the factory. A world of difference. Also if you are habituated to a Rem 700 safety you will bend over your trigger when you push that Ruger safety only to half safe. Don't ask me know I know, but i sold that Ruger due to that issue. I missed out on two huge deer cuz I couldn't break myself of that. But I still stand by that Timney trigger being far better than the factory one and it made that factory rifle shoot factory ammo like a tack driver at 500yds. Factory trigger had me all over the place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arizona Griz Report post Posted October 30, 2010 I guess I had better go throw mine away. Not. Really not sure what the problem is here but I have used mine (700 ADL) since 1973 and have yet to have a problem with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeffro Report post Posted October 30, 2010 Never had a problem here. We have 9 REM700s and shoot them alot, and never have had a problem. The REM700 is the only factory action I will ever own. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZkiller Report post Posted November 19, 2010 Why doe's the military use them? And why is every custom based off of them? They are the best action design that there is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My thoughts as well I have aftermarket triggers on my 700's though and Sako extractors. I think once that's done they can't be beat! JIM> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The first thing a custom maker does is change the trigger. The problem is with the trigger, not the Remington 700 as a whole. The designer of the trigger even admitted that there was a problem but Remmy did not want to spend the money to change the design. Not sure how anyone could deny the fact that there might be a problem with the trigger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
