rem 700 trigger pull

for the record I have done several stoning jobs on sears and triggers on my 10/22's ... (4 altogether, and they have all turned out with a safe 2# pull)...

I don't even have the rifle in hand yet so it's hard to say, But I'm wondering if the remmy is all that much more complicated.
 
The 10/22 has the luxury of being easily studied , the 700 is slightly more complex to observe angles, but the basics are about the same.
I would suggest trying to adjust it using just the screws before any honing is done, they can be set up quite nicely without the stonework. If you feel stones need to be used then try it. I manage to set them up daily for guys and very seldom are the stones required
 
try the screws first if you work at it for a while I cant see anything wrong with it and if you still for some reason or another dont like it buy an after market that you will like I ajusted my trigger and love the two rems that i own

What can be done to improve trigger pull on a rem 700? (hopefully do it yourself, no gunsmith required)

As you know there are many good articles on the subject. Follow them closely and give it a try, but always excerise caution.

With Shilen triggers at $125, you can always look to replace yours if it can't be adjusted to your liking. It also has resale value. Trying to get your $50 back on at trigger job when and if you sell the rifle will be difficult. A custom trigger always has a resale value.
 
I had a lady I am teaching to shoot have an AD (safely) at our range because of an improperly adjusted Remington factory trigger on a used gun I bought. Leave the safety related work to the gunsmiths. Just about made her quit because she thought it was her fault.

My 2 cents worth.

Do that and your just another "Wanabe" ... but your still entitled to tinker all you like.

Must be smokin' too many Cohiba's ... maybe something else in them !

Cohiba's are hand made thru the entire process, so all those old ladies with their saliva all over them...makes for great experience :D

I followed the article I posted above, even though I am less mechanically inclined than others. To me, the experience is no different than changing your own brakes or oil, fluids, springs, in your own vehicle. Often best left for professionals, but what better way to get to know your rifle than to do it yourself. For me, learning how to do it, and learning why you turn things this way and that way, helps me to understand how it works, and I believe in the end it makes me a better shooter for it. My wife begs to differ on the last point though.
 
Adjusted the trigger on my 700 220 Swift and it was a snap.Got it releasing at 2.75 lbs. Just make sure to lock the screws afterward with nail polish.
