Tried some additional triggers, and made the mods for a Geissele super 700(one of my favorite triggers).
The adjustable trigger hanger is a breeze. The pins are conical at the ends and fit well in their grooves. Install and adjustment is very straight forward. If Teds vid didnt make its function clear in your mind, just a few minutes with the system and you’ll get it.

Trigger pin grooves. How the hell does this thing cost 900 bucks? Note the hash marks cut into the edges of the receiver, perpendicular to the trigger channel. These coincide with marks on the hanger which give a reference for the general trigger position in the receiver fore and aft. You’ll have to zoom in close to the hanger to see the hash marks, there are three of them, and they're just forward of the safety levers.

Since I like the Geissele , I did the mods for that. It took an even larger clearance for the root of the safety lever, and also required clearance for a button head screw. Install, adjustment, function, etc after the mods are all fine.

I only have a TT primary here now. I assume the cases for the others are the same, but i’ll have the diamond and two stage here Wednesday. TT fits, adjusts and functions fine. These have a short throw for the safety, and the lever should be well out of the way in an unaltered hanger.

Just for giggles I put a newer factory remington trigger on it. Nobody should do this, but figured I’d check fit. When properly adjusted, the safety does not interfere with the receiver.

I got out several actions just to compare bolt lift. I had an out of the box new Origin, a Tempest, my smoothest remington, AI AW, a mack bros evo 2, and a Gunwerks GRB.
The closest one in feel to the CDG is the Origin, both in smoothness and effort. If you’ve felt an origin, that is exactly how the CDG feels to cock. For the three lug actions, the Tempest is smoother on cocking, but higher effort than the CDG My AW is the same basically. I know some really hate the AI bolts, but every time I hear gripes on the hide about them, I go and feel mine. Nope, mine is glass. The AW has a mile of cock on close, which I cant adjust out. Combined with the plunger ejector, the AW is nowhere near as smooth as the CDG should be when going into battery. The Tempest and AW are high Mileage, so it remains to be seen how the CDG ends up. I’ll do some more of this as time passes. I think I have some more actions to compare it with as well. I’ll probably do a short vid of the action cycling as well.
