[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 176110, member: 10"] Links, What were the conditions, cold? wet? dusty? The factory Rem triggers, old or new have a bad habit sometimes of the trigger sticking inthe pulled position at times. The newer rifles also have a bad rep for being a bit rounded on the sear surface which when combined with the first situation I mentioned will result in what happened to you. If the trigger does not rebound totally and the sear to trigger contct is not square and also a positive angle, the system can slip off. A trigger system HAS to be at least slightly positive in sear angle. I would say, spend the money and get a jewell. They are not cheap but they are the best. I have had some issues with quality control with the recent Rifles Basix triggers I got in. Of the 12 I ordered, 10 would slip off during my impact testing. NO GOOD!!! The problem was a negative sear angle on each one. I could fix this by remilling these contact surfaces but when you spend the green for an aftermarket trigger you should not have to do a trigger job on it. I called RB about this, their comment was these were match grade triggers that should only be used with slow bolt working motion and that all triggers of this design will slip off if jarred hard enough. I told them to have a good day and that they just lost my 100 trigger orders a year sales. As I can not live with that. Since then I have only recommended the Jewell triggers. As far as factory Rem 700 triggers, old and new. I have yet to see many be able to be adjusted to or below 2 lbs and stay 100% safe and reliable. In fact most get inconsistant much below 2.5 lbs. As such, if one of my customers wants a trigger pull under 2.5 lbs, its an aftermarket trigger. if your trigger is adjusted under this pull weight, I would be very weary of it, for obvious reasons..... Fortunately the only thing that was damaged was the hillside!!!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
