Have you tried just adjusting the factory trigger? I've got 2 Model Seven's (.223 and 7mm-08); I've been extremely satisfied (and it takes a LOT to satisfy me) with the triggers after I've done a couple of simple adjustments.....
From a post I did at another site.....
IF YOU DECIDE TO FOLLOW THESE STEPS, IT IS SOLEY YOUR RESPONSIBILTY.
The three adjustments are:
1) The trigger stop (over travel).
2) The trigger weight (pull).
3) The sear engagement.
After reading all I could find, I decided to NOT alter the factory set sear engagement.
I started by removing the barreled action from the stock.
On the front side of the trigger mechanism were two screws held in place with an epoxy coating. The top screw, nearest the barrel, was the Trigger Stop Screw. The bottom screw, furthest from the barrel, was the Trigger Weight Screw.
I removed the epoxy coating from the two front screws.
I did NOT touch the Sear Engagement Screw on the back side.
First I set the trigger stop. I turned the Trigger Stop Screw IN 1/4 of a turn at a time. After each 1/4 turn, I tried the trigger. I kept doing this until the trigger would not fall. Then I backed the screw OUT 1/8 turn at a time until the trigger would fall again. I added 1/8 more turn OUT.
Next I set the trigger weight. I backed the bottom screw OUT 1/8 turn at a time, testing the trigger after each adjustment, until I was happy with the weight of pull. Then, since I was going to be using the rifle in hunting situations and did not want to take a chance that I might set it off too early, I turned the screw back IN 1/8 turn.
I tested for potential misfiring by pounding the butt of the rifle against the floor with the barreled action installed and the firing mechanism cocked.
Finally I gave the screws and front edge of the mechanism two coats of nail polish to keep the screws from loosening and reinstalled the barreled action in the stock.
To the shooting range!
No more fliers from a mis-pulled trigger!
100 Yard range.
Remington Model Seven in .223.
Bushnell Banner 3-9 x 40 scope.
Remington Express 55 grain PSP ammunition from WallyWorld.
Fore end resting on a sandbag; butt against my shoulder and my elbows resting on the bench.
One click left and three up put me right where I wanted to be!

I put one in my Ruger 77MK2 and love it. Trust me, if I can do it anyone can. I had the gun at my smith's recently and he was also impressed.
On the Ruger It does seem that the trigger preforms better at 3/4 to 1 lb. If I adjust it to a heavier pull it has some creep. I like a lite trigger so this is not a problem for me. The creep can probably be fixed but I'm not sure how to do this.
I'm certanly no expert, and am not even going to pretend that I know how these triggers work in Rem. actions.
I will just say It's working very well in my ruger.
Don't know if this helps, but I hope so.

My last Model 7 was easily adjusted way below I could justify hunting with. I'd second trying to adjust your fatory trigger. You should be able to safely get it in the 3# or less area.

Thanks guys...I did adjust the factory down, and its around 2 1/4lbs....it seems to be as low as I can get it with the factory trigger. I am shooting some great groups, some as low as .375", but lots of my shots at groundhogs are over the 300yd range and I need a trigger under 1 1/2lbs....me...that's a good shootin' group there! Thanks for the direction! gobblr addict

I traded for a Savage Striker 7-08 and he had the Rifle Basix trigger but not installed. It took a few attempts to get it to not fire when closing the bolt but it now is set at 24 oz. and is a real shooter. It's my hunting gun so I won't get it any lower, my target guns are between 6-12 oz.

tcusparky, i had same thing with my striker in 260rem scared the hell out a me..didnt like it from factory it was pretty heavy and had adjusted trigger and upon closing bolt face and being pointed down range it did go off. got her a little to light backed it off and is great . just am not happy with hand grips ,there like holding on to a 2x4 have hear of guys taking dremel and lightly sanding some off the stock above your thumb so it wasnt so bulky. mine is still original.

I have a rifle basix on my rem 700 classic Fireball and it is adjusted to 8 oz.It works great if you don't slam the bolt closed,I only use it for target so I left it where it is and single load it.If I decide to hunt with it I will set it to around 1-1.5 pounds just to be safe.I never load a round untill I an ready to shoot anyways.
