Hunting Rifle Triggers

The contrast between walnut & black would be good. My 338 is in an old remodel 30s stock. It would complement that as well as the 7mm AI.

I'll full length bed the 7mm, and float the bbl. Relieved the action & bbl chanel already. I'm stripping the finish off it as well. I'm thinking straight danish oil with a coat or two of truoil on top as a sealer coat. Still trying to decide if I want to thin the stock a bit. Those ruger factory stocks are thick and square, but usually have a decent grain under their varnish.

I vote for a Ruger weight reduction.

Trigger Tech Diamonds...@ 16oz.

Yeah, even when it's -40F.

It's like asking Superman what he ate for breakfast though.

I like 1.5-2# pull weight on hunting rifles.

Had a handful of timneys and trigger tech on m700 patterns. Factory, factory with revised spring, and KRG midas on Tikka. Various M700 type triggers in general seem to be more susceptible to being clean and dry. I've had timneys that had unreliable ignition in cold weather conditions but didn't dig deep enough to fully diagnose the issues.

Anyone know of a fix for a Marlin XS7 trigger?

What's the best replacement trigger for a early 2000s Rem 700 ?

I have a Timney and a Trigger Tech. 2.5ish lbs is about right for me. I have Geissele DMR in a scoped AR, which is really nice.

Shockingly, the best factory trigger I have is in a shotgun. Browning Gold. Perhaps the thousands upon thousands of trigger pulls helped, but when I put the slug barrel on there, its as nice as my aftermarket triggers.

Worst one ever was in a 700. I think it was the "X Mark" model. Garbage!

Find a Smith that knows what he is doing with that trigger and have it worked over. mtmuley
