Remington 700 Trigger Recall

[shortrange]

how does one know if their 700 needs to be sent in? bought mine used from reliable Gun in the fall

Reliable has posters showing the difference between the recalled trigger assembly and the non-recalled one.The short answer is the smooth triggers are recalled and the ones with the two grooves along the trigger are not. Do a Google search for Remington trigger recall. There is a web page with all the info.

I get a kick out of these 700 trigger threads...

I am not knocking Timney as they make a fine trigger.. but any competent gunsmith who is familiar with triggers can make "the worst any model 700 trigger" into a crisp, safe, light pull with no perceptible over travel for 1/3 of what it costs to replace the trigger. Many of you know this but many get caught up in the latest internet trend.

I've heard that about the old 700 trigger, but is it still true of the xmark pro? Also it's my understanding that the goop in the trigger group wasn't worth trying to get out.

The xmark pro can easily be tuned. Just three screws to muck about with but if you have no idea what you're doing leave it up to a gun smith. If you feel competent enough to do it yourself there's plenty of write ups on how to do it and make sure you safety test repeatedly to make sure you don't have any negligent discharges. Having a good trigger pull gauge is a must.

Had you done it earlier, you would not have gotten back as quickly

I didn't bother with the recall and put a Timney in my precision 700 and then I picked up another 700 in 243 cal . I read this thread and decided to send it in and I am impressed with how fast my rifle was returned . 8 days from when I sent it to the time it was returned .
Thanks Gravel !!

very fast and easy to do, thanks

Yeah took 2 months just to get the box. probably a year to get the rifle back if you don't live less then 100 miles away
