Conflicted on Remington 700 Trigger

[Clackamas Jack]

Aright, I am conflicted on if I should replace the trigger on my Remington 700. I did some research and spoke with some other members of a 264 Win Mag group and confirmed that my rifle is much more rare than I initially thought. From all the very little information on this rifle it appears this is a limited edition CDL customer ordered by Big Rock Sports back in 2006-2007ish. Big Rock Sports had 2 runs of this rifle and the first run was an total of 150 rifles. 75 stainless steel fluted CDL's in 264 Win Mag and 75 blued fluted. An unknown amount of 2nd run rifles were ordered by Big Rock Sports but it appears they were all Stainless Steel Fluted barrels. These were never on thr Remington website for order as it seems these were a Big Rock Sports exclusive. I was intending to shoot this rifle and potentially hunt with it but it appears it falls within the Remington trigger recall. I was thinking about getting a Trigger Tech trigger for it for safety reasons. I am conflicted if I should leave it stock due to apparent rarity of this particular rifle being 1 of 75 from the info I have found on it. Any advice is appreciated and or tips. I am not a particular fan of negligent discharges if I can help it. I posted pictures for reference in the rifle I am referring to.

Swap it out to whatever trigger you want, put the original back in if you decide to sell it.

make the trigger fail, then change it. If it doesn't then it's fine. If your still scared of it, Ill give you 350 bucks for the rifle and we'll consider your life saved.

Yeah a drop in trigger isn't a pennant change so do as you wish and shoot your rifle as intended.

Concur with above posts. A trigger swap is a very temporary modification...MAYBE, depending on model, you might have to take a little off of the inside of the stock to get it to fit. Either way; 5 minutes after you change your mind back you can have the rifle back to stock and nobody but you will ever know it wasn't.

I just changed my remingtom 700 stock trigger to a 8 oz trigger. Love shooting the rifle now.

I’ve got geissles in my Remington 700’s. Best upgrade I’ve made.

I put Timney triggers in both of my 700s

My advice exactly. Timney make a great drop in trigger for that rifle. I had to swap mine out as it fell into the recall as well. Old trigger is hanging on the pegboard.

If it will work you. I have the stock trigger if you would like to buy it off of me.
