rem 700 trigger problem

[rhkrqyr]

Hi,
need your help to solve this problem :
Recently I have a problem with the rem 700 trigger,hope you can guide me solve it :
1) close the bolt,sometimes it locked,sometimes not.
2) when it locked,trigger pull would be normal or heavy
3) put safety on,close the bolt,it cocked,release safety and ok to fire,trigger pull is normal.

any idea?

Thanks in advance.

I had this same basic thing happen to me about 10 years ago with my Remington 700 mountain rifle in 280 Remington. I cleaned and lubricated the trigger assembly.

The trigger has worked perfectly ever since......

if cleaning doesnt work try changeing your trigger screws a bit till it works dont know if it will but might be worth a try

Thanks for all the replies.
I took it out of the stock and find that 2 screws were lose,so I reset everything again,I took Maynard's advice to clean it while I were there,so far so good,the trigger works fine.
