[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 466874, member: 25383"] I think the ones to avoid with a Remington are the JARD and Rifle Basix. The Timeny trigger has never impressed me, and would rather have a well done factory trigger. The Shilen is $89 at Midway and the Jewell can be had for about $200 (not sure if it has the saftey). The Kelby is about $300 last time I heard, but has several advantages over the others. Then there's another that cost about $400 that's supposed to be extremely slick. There's also one out there that has a set trigger (name escapes me), and the ones that are adapted to fit the 700 out of Europe (these can be expensive). I had a buddy I shot with that had two Shilens. One was on a 700 and the other was on a DGA single shot action. These triggers are very nice. A Remington 788 is known to have the fastest lock time of any production rifle, and 95% of all custom actions right out of the box. The 700 is in the lower half of the pack. A Savage is right behind the 788 Remington, but way faster than a 700. Most actions built off of the Mauser design are slow (Mod. 70 and Rugers come to light). The Kelby trigger dramaticly reduces lock time on the Remington, and makes it nearly as fast as the 788 when it gets a speedlock kit with it. You'll never get that out of the others. Of course you could just buy a Savage with an after market spring, and be done with it. gary [/QUOTE]
