Re: Aftermarket trigger
I am sure I will be jumped on but this is my opinion. Stick with a properly adjusted Remington trigger. I have had them all and the 40X is the best and 700 next best. Most of the aftermarket triggers are flimsy. If you possess no physical infirmity why do you need an ultralight trigger? A firm trigger gives more control of the rifle, esp in cold weather. This is Snipers Hide, not benchrest central. If I had trouble pulling a 2.5 pound trigger, I would just buy some pink panties and hang it up. The things I look for in a trigger are lack of lateral movement, lack of trigger lever flex, consistant pull weight, and near zero over travel.I have used Remington triggers in Nesika, Borden and Surgeon actions with good result. A 40X trigger is a great one. Also the old Winchester 70 trigger could be set to perfection at 2 lb. Did you ever think that when some 200 lb shooters grew up they would be unable or unwilling to pull a 2 pound trigger and not flinch? For a tactical rifle, a custom trigger is about as much use as a pecker to the pope.
