Pick up a older rem 700 in 7mm mag.
Trying to identify the trigger as I am not 100% familiar with these. Normally I just toss and go to trigger Tech.

Trigger color doesn't match the rest of the action.

But the pull is very nice. 2lbs.










Thanks
 
Looks to be a standard Walker type trigger. Later version without the arm on the safety that locks the bolt closed.
These triggers can be adjusted for excellent, reliable pulls - but you have to understand how the trigger works, and how to test it, to avoid problems.
Depending on when a trigger was made, it may have sealant coated adjustment screws or even adjustment screws that were staked after factory adjustment.
If the unit has a nice 2 lb pull, it has been adjusted after leaving Remington.
If you have any Walker triggers you want to toss, toss them my way.
 
The Walker trigger is the design that resulted in the lawsuits.
When properly adjusted, consistent, reliable performance is expected.
Improperly adjusted, or fouled, the mechanism can fail.
I like these triggers, have used them for years. But if someone gets at those adjusting screws without understanding what he is doing, or if the mechanism gets gummed up, an unintended discharge can occur.

I have no experience with X-Mark triggers. Just picked up a couple so that I can experiment with them.

The Triggertech units seem to be outstanding.
 
OP,
Acetone will remove the clear finger nail polish/sealant on the 3 adjustment screws which are common head screws.

Top Front-overtravel
Bottom Front-Pull Weight
Bottom Aft-Sear Engagement

For Every Action there is an equal but opposite reaction.

Once adjusted
Lightly tap on the aft end of the trigger lever w/ the fingernail of your index finger to ascertain if any backlash is felt between the lever & the floating connector piece.
IF,any backlash is felt YOU HAVE AN UNSAFE -- IMPROPERLY ADJUSTED WALKER design trigger group.

How many M.Walker design trigger groups do you seek?
Hundreds on hand.
 
DANS40X - I was in Fairbanks a few years ago. Wish I'd known about you then. Would have enjoyed a visit. Did get into one gunshop. Never saw so many .44 Magnum revolvers in one place before. I was really impressed with the museum at the University of Alaska.

I suspect that apart from preventing any unintended movement, the sealer on the adjustment screws was there to provide proof if the adjustments were changed after the rifle left the factory
