[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1320843, member: 2736"] I have re barreled and/or repaired almost every action/rifle brand and can tell you that all of them could use better triggers on their cheaper grade of rifles. Most of the rifle companies have better triggers that they place on their premium grade rifles. Remington is no exception, they have a wonderful trigger on their 40x rifles that is fully adjustable and is as good as there is on factory rifles. Weatherby has the best track record for good triggers that I have worked on and I have only replaced a few out of many. Lawyers require most of the gun makers to limit the adjustments, because of people tampering with them and making them unsafe. There will always be a few "Bad" triggers produced by any manufactures that will get through. But now that some of the rifle makers are using a trace element that can prove that the trigger has been tampered with, at least if a trigger is bad it will be easy to prove. As far as the 700 Remington actions, they respond to accurizing better and more consistent than any other action I have worked on or built. All rifles do better with a good stock and trigger no matter what brand they are. But some, due to their design just don't do as well consistently. The Tupperware stocks are just a handle and are worthless as far as I am concerned and should be replaced if accuracy is one of the things you expect from the rifle. The Mod 770 Remington is the one exception as far as I am concerned and should be avoided because If it doesn't shoot you are stuck with it. Other manufactures produce dogs as well and if you buy one you are stuck with poor accuracy. I consider anything over 1 1/2 MOA unacceptable for anything. I have many different brands of rifles and the rifles with Remington actions will all shoot well below 1/4 MOA. Three of my hunting rifles will consistently shoot below 1/10th MOA. The Mark 5 Weatherbys are the next best shooting rifles that consistently shoot 1/10th MOA. I have the best luck with the savages when I do away with the barrel nut and go to a larger barrel tenon and lug arrangement. All of my rifles have been accurized and in most cases, been re barreled to get this level of accuracy. Note; I have only owned 2 unmodified factory rifles that would shoot 1/10 MOA and they were both Remington 700s. I am not so much a Remington fan as I am a accuracy fan, so I like any accurate rifle. I also like many features other rifles have. just my opinion. And as one of the members says "Only Accurate rifles are interesting" J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
