700 Rem. trigger Adjustment

[burch]

After adjusting the trigger on my Rem. 700 I got it down to a nice 3lbs. Trouble is now I have some travel and a little grit to it. Is there any way to get the gritty feel out of it. I can deal with the travel, it`s not too bad.

I assume you adjusted it according to the directions here:

With some newer Remingtons the trigger spring is just too stiff and there is really no choice but to get a new trigger. If it is gritty, then you may need to hone the sear engagements but this is pretty advanced stuff that I have never tried to do myself.

Good Luck!

Yes, I used that info and got what I wanted with a lighter trigger. I`d love to find out how to disassemble the trigger housing and try to work out the bugs. If i`m going to have to replace it, it won`t matter if I screw up or not but at least i`ll get some experience with it and I can share it with you. Can you think of anywhere I can get a more indepth look at this ?

Not that I have ever seen. I have a spare trigger somewhere and if I ever get time I might just pull the pins and see if I can figure it out but I am just way too busy these days and I am not even sure where that trigger is anymore.

Sorry, but good luck!

Using my trigger gauge i`m getting between 2 1/2 - 3 lbs. After the hunting season is over i`m going to buy a better trigger and try to fix this one. I don`t want fool with until I have another one. I`ll run a post on it and give the info to the forum, good or bad. I`ve done some polishing on my six guns but that horse of a different color.

2.5 to 3-lbs sounds as light as I would recommend for a deer gun so it may pay to find a smith that can polish the engagement but a Jewell trigger will always be a better trigger.

I have all standard Rem triggers in my guns but the Kac 2-stage trigger in my AR-10T is actually crisper then any of my Rem 700 triggers! A good trigger spoils a person!

Good Luck!
