[QUOTE="LoneTraveler, post: 1054778, member: 77249"] Check the bolt, When the bolt is closed on the chamber does the same amount of the firing pin protrude out of the bolt shroud, When the rifle is in the fire position and in the fired position. Check the sear location in comparison with the pin holes in the old and new triggers. Is the firing pen held as far back with the new trigger as it did with the old one. I would take the bolt apart and clean the firing pin hole very carefully, there may be a piece of something loose in the bolt that is blocking the firing pen from extending exact out of the bolt each shot. Have you changed primer lots at the same time. There is several things that could cause this. 700 Rem. Rifles with age have problems with springs weakening. harder primers can cause problems to. Good Luck in curing the problem. [/QUOTE]
