Adjusting Trigger On Rem. 700 ??????

I'm not trying to be a smart a$$ but if you have to ask , you would be much better off taking it to a Smith who understands how the Remington trigger works. It will make your rifle much safer for you and the people who hunt with you.

I was thinking that myself!!!!!!!
Thanks for the info!!
 
I agree with Madhunter. They are not that hard to do but, if you have to ask, you don't need to be doing it yourself.
Not trying to slam anyone, but much better to spend a little money than to have a unsafe trigger. IMHO your mileage may vary.
 
MaddHunter -

Your attituder and writing give a very positive impression..... But..... Please forgive me..... You look pretty young in that picture..... Like maybe 15-ish? I would agree with everyone's comments above.....

Please take your Remington to someone with experience to adjust the trigger!

Thanks!
me!
 
How will he ever learn if he dosen't ask questions? The 700 trigger is very easy and very safe if you do all the safety checks and it is very rewarding to know that you have made your gun shoot better all by your self. I did my first one all alone and have no problems just simply follow directions and next thing you know your buddies are at your house wanting theirs done. IMHO
 
ME,
That is my 7 year old son in the pic, I'm 33 /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
I'm sure it would be easy to adjust the trigger myself but I have never done it nor seen it done. The only trigger I have adjusted is on my bow release.
I just know that the way the trigger is now it is way too stiff, espeacially for my son. He sometimes pulls his shot while trying to squeeze the trigger. He does a fairly good job with it now but I think we both would be better shots with it if it were a little lighter.
We have a good gunsmith nearby, so I'm going to take it to him and have him lighten it up for me.
 
I asked this question three yrs ago on this very board. And im not tryin to slam either,but he needs to read the directions and do it his self. Follow the safety checks and every direction closely. I did it myself and loved doin it. dont deprive the fellow of learning. Especialy somthing he can do on his own very easily.

I did it myself on two of my guns. It was easy, but I had a little trouble getting all the creep out, it may not be possible. But both triggers break at about 2.5 pounds.
 
I am so-o-o embarressed /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smiliesmack.gif ..................

Go ahead! Adjust it!! It's easy!!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif

You'll be able to sit and play with the adjustments until you've got the trigger set exactly where YOU want it to be. Just follow the instructions that you've been given links to. I've done it myself to my two Model Sevens. If I can do it, anyone can!

My solution has been to buy a "custom trigger" and install it. They seem to be much safer than Remington triggers that have been "fiddled with".

I buy mine here....

You can safely do just about anything you want with one of these. Keep your original Remington factory trigger to re-install in your rifle in case you ever want to sell the rifle.

There may be a liability issue in selling a rifle that you have adjusted the factory trigger in. If the buyer has an accidental discharge with injury or death, you will likely be sued whether it's your fault or not.
