[QUOTE="Garycrow, post: 1083830, member: 30743"] You're making a mistake replacing an old style M70 trigger. The M70 trigger is the best hunting trigger made, a gunsmith that knows how to do one can easily make it 2.5 lbs. It's not a home trigger job though, someone who can stone it at the proper angle and time the safety is required, not all gunsmiths even know how to work on them. Mark Penrod in North Manchester IN does the best M70 triggers I know of, Lee Christenson in Medford WI is good too. You can ship your barreled action both ways and pay for the trigger job & still be under half the cost of an aftermarket trigger. I have several done by Penrod and a couple by Christenson, I also have several jewells. They're all at 2.5 lbs. on my hunting rifles except a couple of jewells on target rifles at 1 lb. The tuned M70 triggers are every bit as good as the jewells at 2.5 lbs and I trust them more for hunting because they're a more rugged design. I wouldn't give you a plug nickel for a factory remington trigger, or most other rifles for that matter, but old style M70 triggers are one of the best features of that action and they get fixed instead of replaced. They just don't come correctly tuned from the factory. I would never go aftermarket on an old style M70 unless I wanted it in the ounces, then I'd only use a Jewell. [/QUOTE]
