Best under 2000.00 factory rifle there is

So the more reliable enclosed triggers actually drain and thats why they don't freeze?
 
Perhaps you're not interested in discussing why some enclosed designs can very reliable and others not so much. Sorry.

I'm interested in the mechanics of them

Guns get used outside. Saw a walker trigger freeze solid on the side of a mountain. The weather was inclement as the weather is apt to be in such locations. Cost the owner a 170” ram.

People can have their opinions myself included. Use what you want. Enclosed triggers on using rifles suck.

Ive seen a a few triggers freeze up in very cold weather, Remington, Husqvarna and even a Timney Trigger in my nephews Custom 280AI I had built for him, I asked an old gunsmith about the problem maybe 30 years ago or more and he handed me a can of G96 gun spray......he said use this on your rifle and you will never have an issue and I haven't since Ive been using that spray.

Regardless of the trigger make or style or rifle brand, I use it on every rifle I own, factory or custom.
 
A Remington 700 trigger, especially the Walker type, is fully adjustable. So is the Kimber trigger. The M70, Tikka, Sako oem jobs are not. Giving the user a way to adjust sear engagement gives you a better trigger imo. More dangerous to those who cannot maintain and properly adjust them. Which unfortunately is a larger majority every year.
 
Joel, you were asking what made a rem 700 trigger different than other enclosed types. The main difference, if you go back to the drawing posted a bit ago, is that the "pink piece" and the "red piece" are separate components, and are only held together with spring pressure. OCCASIONALLY, depending on how the trigger is adjusted, crud can build up between them. Bad stuff then happens.

Thank you Jonny!

Perhaps thats where water pools and then freezes in the "frozen trigger" incidents as well?

I have had enough creepy gritty old style M70 triggers that needed to have the sears worked on to gladly take a trigger of the enclosed variety.

But no one cares. They didn't the first time you posted it, and they don't now. You like what you like, but you will never convince people that they are the best any more than the other people will convince you that an open style trigger is the best. So just take a deep breath and move on to the next thing.
