Trigger Groups For A Tactical Rifle

[Ballistic Artist]

Hey all,
I got a custom 700 in 300 Win Mag. Yesterday at the range, I finally decided that the factory 3.75Lb trigger pull was the culprit in my one or two "magic" flyers that I have been getting for too long now.

Anyway, Im looking for a good trigger group for Remmy. I like Jewel, Jard, Rifle Basix and Timney. I have heard that the Jewel trigger is the best but they are picky when it comes to dust, oil, cold weather etc. Also, they are a tad pricey. Im not looking for a 2oz pull, about 1.5Lbs would be great. I also want a reliable safety on it. (I think they are probably all reliable) And I want a reliable trigger group that will work from sub zero to 100 plus. Even if a bit of dust finds its way in. Also, some have steel housings some are aluminum. I personally think a steel housing would be better?? What do you think about these brands and the type of metal the housings are made of? Thanks for the help.

Wow,
being a forum of long range high accuracy shooters, I would figure there would be more opinions on trigger groups for a Remington 700...

I only have experience with the stocker and jewels. I'm very happy with my jewels and I've had once covered in mud and still functions great. The only cleaning I have every done was run it under water and the give it some rem oil.

Timney 510U with the lbs set by them. Drop it in and be done. I have used Shilen and Jewel triggers and now use only Timney.

Hope this helps.

510 U? I can only find the #510 on timneys website. I dont know if it matters. The aluminum housing is not an issue? I dont think it would be and Timney has been around a while and are still American, somethin I always like.

Timney 510, its good, you can adjust it yourself easily if you want. The U has a longer sear, which is sometimes neccessary, primarily with custom actions. Housing material doesn't matter really, all it does is hold the parts in alignment, doesn't really see any stress. Mine performed reliably from -30 to 85, haven't had it out since I moved here but I doubt higher temps will hurt a thing. I never dunked it in mud, but snow and dust haven't phased it.

FYI, its bad form to start identical threads in multiple forums.

Sorry about that. I didnt know. I wont do it again. I just thought that if its in two forums, I would get more input. Sorry if I offended you.

I also wanted a trigger that would give me a consistent feel betweeen my bolt gun and large-platform AR. I went with the CG Extreme. Could not be happier...
