I recently picked up this trigger for my latest build. It feels great (did a couple dry fires w/dummy rounds) but I do have a couple issues... First off, this trigger doesn't have a safety or bolt release. I'm not concerned about the lack of a safety, but the lack of a bolt release can be a bit of an issue. Is there some other way to remove the bolt from a Rem 700? Also, the trigger itself. It's held in place by the world's smallest screw. None of my allen keys seem to be able to fit and the thing gets loose all the time, even from just pulling it in and out of the safe. I can just see the thing falling out when I actually have the gun on my back, riding on my quad out to do some shooting.

Does anyone else have this trigger? What have you done to solve these issues?

Here's the trigger in question for reference: http://www.timneytriggers.com/shop/timney-remington-tactical-replacement-trigger.aspx
 
Is there some other way to remove the bolt from a Rem 700? yes, remove the bolt catch.

Does anyone else have this trigger? I dont and I would never ever put this trigger on a field rifle.

a 510 or a rifle basix LV1 or ERV3 would be a better choice in my opinion.
 
Very small flat blade screw driver and push on the bolt stop you will be able to remove your bolt this way but it's a pain. These triggers were designed to be used on actions with side bolt release. Above it says to remove your bolt catch but if you do this there will be nothing holding you bolt from coming out every time you cycle it unless he means tearing your rifle down and removing your trigger every time you want to pull your bolt which wouldn't be very practical. As far as the trigger show get loose, you can get the right size Allen key for them and once you do and get it set where you want it just use a tiny bit of blue lock tight and it should be good to go
