Thanks for the info on the detachable magazine options for the Rem 700. Now I want to know my choices for a new trigger for a Rem 700. I want somthing comparable to the crispness of a Sako 75 or 85 as thats what I am familiar with. I would also like to know price and suppliers.
Thanks again.

Its called a well adjusted factory 700 trigger and costs about $40 which includes return mail. A very nice crisp 2.5 pounds is no problem. PM me.
 
I agree with Dennis, the factory trigger can be easily tuned to do everything an after market trigger is capable of; unless you want a few ounces of pull weight.
 
Mabe there is something wrong with my trigger but it is just not as crisp. I have even had a reputable gun smith set it to 2lbs and I like my 3lb Sakos better. Most of the time my Rem 700 breaks clean but some times I can feel it creap before the rifle fires, this bugs me however little it might be. It is also not consistant pull weight, although it is very close. Don't get me wrong, it is still a pretty good trigger from my experience but not the best.
 
the creep is adjustable, mine was terrible out of box. but its safe, more creep the safer I guess the idea is. but you can tweak it right down to damn near nothing. there still is a very tiny little, as removing it completly I found if I slamed the bolt fast it wouldnt ####. play with it though. worth adjusting before you spend the money on something aftermarket.

good thing is though the rem700 trigers are super easy to swap.

Sometimes the sears need to be worked a bit to get it crisp... it isn't always done just by adjustment of screws and springs... and best left to someone skilled in that area. It is much harder to have a crisp 2 pound trigger than a crisp 3 pound trigger. To me the weight is not as important as the feel... or lack of feel...
 
Again I would have to agree with Dennis. It is much more difficult to get a crisp break at 2lbs than 3lbs. Additionally, I don’t think anybody should be working on a Remington trigger without some background in this area. Working a Remington trigger is not like turning a single screw on the Tikka or Savage accu triggers. I have seen some Remington 700 triggers that actually have a radius on the edge of the sear. If you were not a smith, or received a lot of quality coaching from a good smith, the average person might be inclined towards believing there is adequate sear engagement, as viewed from the port, when in actual fact the firearm is unsafe and could discharge with rough handling. For $40.00 why not send it to someone who has done the job many times and has the tools, if needed, to perform the task. My $0.02
 
No worries. Trigger breaks like glass at 2 lbs, don't know what else to tell you other then once you try a trigger like that you will be wrecked as well.
