[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1645734, member: 10178"] When the old 700 trigger is PROPERLY adjusted I have never seen any problems with them. You usually can't get below 2 lbs safely with them but my preference is 2 1/2" lbs. I have three at this time with the old trigger. Only problem I ever had was the same as was mentioned earlier. I had one trigger that I had adjusted to 30 oz in the summer time on a 25-06 for groundhog shooting. I had to go a hair below proper sear engagement to get there. I took the same rifle on a deer hunt in late November when the tempters were in the high 20's that morning. Rifle would not cock. Adjusted trigger up to 2 1/2 lbs with a minimum of ten thousands sear engagement and have never had any problem in over 20 years with it again. One big danger I have seen over the years is rifles in hunting situations with TOO LIGHT of a trigger. If you can't feel your finger on the trigger before it trips it is too light for hunting for me. I have been around people that have had premature fires with light triggers and have either missed which was a blessing, or have the worst happen, put a bad shot and either loose the game or have a loooooog track.
