I typically run Savage actions.
I took the leap and bought an Ultimatum Deadline action.
It will be going in an MDT ACC chassis.
I need to buy a trigger but can't decide between a single or 2 stage trigger.
The rifle will be used for medium-long range precision rifle type shooting, not PRS.
I loved the 2 stage on my M1A National Match and my Geissele SSA-E on my Noveske.

I was thinking of a TriggerTech but I'm unsure if I should go with the Diamond 4-20oz + 4-24oz or the special 8-24oz + 8-32oz
 
I run the triggertech special on my ultimatum. The specials are great. Breaks just under 1lb according to my scale. I run diamonds on my bighorn actions. Either would serve you well. I'll end up replacing my special with another diamond. I only moved to diamonds after I got a 6br barrel and spent alot of time on the bench trying to shoot 1 hole groups. The diamond was a noticeable improvement
 
I have Triggertech 2-stage Specials on all my bolt guns except one (which has a 2-stage Diamond only cause I won it at a match). I really like them. I used the single-stage Special prior to that but tried the 2-stage on a .300NM I had built and then realized I liked it a bit more than the single-stage. I don't like running my trigger any lower than you can go on a Special anyways so the Diamond isn't necessary. I think you'd like the 2-stage Special a lot as I like the same 2-stage gas gun triggers as you (M14 NM and SSA-E).
 
Triggertech units are great and I run a Special, a Field, and a Primary, but there are other options out there as well that go below even the lightest Triggertech Diamond. Really depends on what you want out of the trigger pack. I feel when you are building a precision instrument it's more important to get exactly what specs you want out on paper, then see what options are available in the market.
 
First off I have no experience with a two stage so can't really comment on that other than to say it doesn't appeal to me. I have a couple TriggerTech on hunting rigs that see some bench time and really like them. Don't remember the models but one goes down to 1 1/2 lbs, the other to 1 lb I believe. Good durable tiggers in my experience. I have have a Jard single set trigger for my 20 cal wildcat and love it. When I found out there was a set trigger available for the 700 platform all I could say was take my money lol. I have a ZKK601 with a single set trigger and that was my first taste of that set up. My son has a Brno with the double set and while it is nice I prefer the single set.
 
Bix n Andy tacsport 2 stage.

Lots of adjustability to optimize to your preference, and the ability to adjust the sear to match your action makes for a much better/smoother action experience.

TT's are good as well, but not to my preference. Dislike the inability to adjust sear engagement and trigger shoes are too wide for my preference. And I like having slack/take-up after the trigger breaks to help with follow through.

May I ask you which one you prefer, the Bix'n Andy TacSport Rem 700 Two Stage trigger or the Bix'n Andy TacSport PRO Rem 700 Two Stage trigger ? And why ?

And what do you think of the Bix'n Andy Trigger Shoes (90 degree, etc.) ? Any preference ?

I believe I have just the "regular" 2 stage model. The pro wasn't out when I acquired my tacsports. I'll be honest and say I'm ignorant as to what the difference between the two models are.

I use the regular/default curved trigger shoe and really like it, so haven't seen a need to play around with the other shoes.
 
After owning Timney, Triggertech, and Jewel. I can honestly say Triggertech is the way to go. To me it feels as good or better than the rest and its just so simple. One screw to adjust and it keeps performing no matter the conditions. I did love the way the Jewell felt as well it was just more maintenance. I have 4 T.T. triggers now in my 700s all the special model. Cheers
 
I have a Timney and a few TT single-stage Specials and 2stg Diamonds on my 700s/clones.
The single stage Specials feel almost exactly the same as my 14oz Tikka + YoDave triggers. Super crisp, minimal overtravel, consistent. And easy to bump up heavier for hunting if I want.
The 2 stg diamonds are my favorite of all of them, easy to adjust and based on my gauge they're super consistent. Both if mine have "pro curved" shoes, which I like more than any other trigger shoes I've tried (TT or otherwise). Be aware that you don't have the option of different sears like the BnA Tacsport, so do your research. My Defiance Ruckus plays very nice with the 2stg diamond, but I have a slight bit of stiffness on close with my Bighorn Origin. Good chance that I'll swap to a Bix at some point because of that.

BixnAndy for adjustability, for those w/ mechanical aptitude.

The Porsche-
Trigger Tech for those requiring click pull weight adjustability.

The Yugo-
Timney for the cheap skates.
