[QUOTE="epags, post: 1645909, member: 105138"] Yes, the older Rem 700 triggers do work well if cared for (IMO). I inherited a Rem 700 30-06 circa 1962, bought a used Rem 700 .243 circa 1967 and bought (then new) a Rem 700 7mm Mag circa 1979. I did have the safety replaced by Remington (safety recall) on all of them and then when I got back into rifle shooting in 2009 I had a qualified gunsmith clean/inspect all the triggers and adjust trigger pulls to my taste. To date I have not had any problems although the one with a 2-1/2 lb pull requires me to maintain constant gun safety awareness. After floating the barrels and glass bedding the actions, they all shoot 1 MOA or better with handloads. Since I hunt under 400 yards they do the job I want. [/QUOTE]
