REMINGTON 700 - One of the Best All Around Rifles?
- Thread starter Ranger77
- Start date
No need to play the poor me card.
Let’s discuss the Walker Trigger.
I have had them work perfect down to two pounds. Had some guns I’ve purchased so dirty in the trigger that they were inconsistent.
Others had the non bedded actions screws so tight that the trigger was again inconsistent. Adjusting them down and adding inconsistencies could be dangerous. I’ve never had an AD in the field.
Strangely some of the new x marks are as good as any trigger out of the big R
A triggertech is a nice option if you need it really low.

You can give it a rest as well.
I have owned a LOT of remingtons and still have a FEW ! Buck - Like you - I have never had a AD ever - BUT i have had a few triggers that were so GUMED up they were nearly unoperative and had some dangerous - BUT they had being PHUCKED with by Bubba the Gunsmith ! Discharge on bolt closing and discharge when safety set off ! Every Rem i obtain i checkout the trigger before using it ! So i have missed out on the AD 's ! I have lots of Timney triggers - Both reg and calvin elites - Trigger Tech triggers - HVR s etc - I really like trigger tech ! JMO rj
I'm not personally familiar with the Rem 700 however, I was just checking out gunsmithing schools and the one closest to me focuses on the Remington 700 - says you need to have a Remington 700 action to take the specific class and advises some places offer student discounts.
I would have to say if thats what theyre teaching with, its probably pretty darn versatile and proven. Im sorry I cant provide an answer to your submodel question
Just thought I'd chime in
Just to set the record straight, there is no hate, none at all. You don't matter enough to warrant the effort, fella.
You always want to make it about you... so perhaps you need the rest.
R.
Yeah it makes sense to test your trigger.
There was that tragic death of 9yr old Gus Barber in 2000. Previously the $17mm settlement to the Texan who shot his foot off.
Stated that the walker triggers were not adjusted.
The age of fake news and the internet hearsay were just warming up. Was it a concern earlier, I don't know. But it is sure around now.
Maybe you need your own sub forum because even damn thread you take over with your BS.
IF so which members Chucks ? RJ
Can you point out the BS?
I think that’s what most here are trying to do. I don’t hate the 700, but I prefer the Model 70. I like the original trigger (an acquaintance had an enclosed trigger freeze up yesterday on a big bull elk). I prefer the fire control system of the model 70, I prefer the flat bottom receiver and integral lug, and I prefer the non rotating claw extractor (although I have replaced all of mine with longer spring steel units).
Now to be fair, I have owned several left hand Model 70’s, and all but a handful needed work to be 100%. Rugers seems to have figured it out for factory reliability but the ones I’ve owned seemed to have been polished with a diamond tip chainsaw.

Which WMU still has an open season on bull elk?
