[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 2042639, member: 38048"] I personally use mostly older remington triggers in all my hunting rifles. It's a simple trigger that works as intended. If you don't adjust it properly it can fail. But so can any trigger. I would bet 100% of all trigger failures in remington 700s were the result of people adjusting on them without enough knowledge to do so. Just someone changing the spring can cause failures. It's not just a pull weight spring, it's also the return spring. If you set the sear at minimum and don't have the return/pull weight spring tight enough you will have an unsafe trigger. This spring must push the trigger fully forward till it hard stops and has zero slack. I will keep using them because I've had zero issues with them in over 30 yrs of smithing. I don't like the newer triggers as much as the old ones but they still will adjust to a decent trigger just takes more work. One more thing on lighter weight triggers. Keep them clean. Very clean. All I use on them is zippo lighter fluid. I've gotten in triggers that didn't work at all when it got cold out because of congealed oil. Zippo works great on firing pin parts also. Shep [/QUOTE]
