Remington 700 vs 7 triggers

[mtJim]

Trying to decide between Remington 700 and Remington 7 length for a new build. Action will be one of the Rem clones with a side bolt release. Problem lies with being left handed; I have not been able to find a left handed Model 7 trigger. Since I don't need the Rem bolt release, would a Model 700 trigger work in a Model 7?

Well.......
I've seen several items pertaining to Remington s/a pop up for sale....I always ask if it'll fit a model 7.....so far the answer is "NO"...with more votes than Biden got...
So....I'm gonna say my m7 does not look like a Remington at all......well...other than being a trigger........so my final answer is...
DOUBTFUL.......HA

I buy my jewell triggers here . he has the model 7 listed separately from the 700 . when you look at the model 7 trigger it says not for 700 .

I have a model 7 that I swapped a 700 trigger into it. I'm not sure how mine was able to work if there is a problem. Tagging in...

Jewell has a model 7 and a Model 700. Same with Triggertech, same with Timney, same with etc… However, I cannot find anyone with a left handed Model 7. From what I can tell, the difference between the Model 7 and the Model 700 is the bolt release. If the Rem clone action has a side bolt release, could I remove the bolt release from a Model 700 trigger and install it in a Model 7?

The difference between the Model 7 and the Model 700 is the factory bolt release.

So if the Rem clone Model 7 action has a side bolt release, the factory bolt release on a model 700 trigger could be removed and then installed in the Model 7?

I have 2 model 7's and both have model 700 trigger tech triggers installed, without bolt release.

Did you have to do anything to the safety or any extra inletting in the stock around the safety to make it work?

Nothing to the safety but both of mine are right handed actions and both rifles are in Bell and Carlson stock with no modification.

The bolt release is the only difference between the trigger for a 700 and a seven

Thanks everyone

Yes, the triggers are the same and interchangeable, the difference you find is in the safety lever, the model 7 hugs the receiver a little closer than the 700,
