But a good old gun is better than a bad new one.A bad new gun is better than a bad old gun !!!!

yea 110 dollars for a box of 20 is a hard pill to swallow.I love my Tikka T3 in .270, but I also LOVE my Weatherby Mark V in 6.5RPM... other than the price of the ammo that is.
Good news, I have two other 700 that may benefit from an updated trigger. I've heard the x mark, or whatever it is, isn't much better than pre 2000s. I also don't know much and making it up as I go.The Bix And Andy is really close to the triggertech…
I have a Triggertech Primary in my big horn I put together and honestly, it has just a slight edge over the bix and Andy.
Good news! This is the internet. That’s pretty par for the course.I also don't know much and making it up as I go.
Timney, BixNAndy or triggertech would all be good options. I also use a Rifle Basix Sav-2 in my savage rifles.Good news, I have two other 700 that may benefit from an updated trigger.

Triggertech being my recommendation. One of those three should have a trigger for whatever system you have.
Most of these triggers are “closed” units. Other than a set screw for adjusting pull weight, they are pretty much “user-proof”. You’ll destroy them trying to open them up is my take.I appreciate the info.
Triggertech gets good reviews too.
So, I don't know what I don't know. Without testing each one, I'm relying on reviews. Anything I should be looking for in an aftermarket one?
I've never used a two stage trigger, other than a TC renegade. I couldn't see a use for this rifle needing one, do they work the same as the old muzzleloaders?Most of these triggers are “closed” units.

They all seem to have different sear designs and all are on par with someone who knows how to stone a sear and set a trigger.
I’m not saying I am that good, but I’ve be got an older stevens 200LA that I’ve been using to learn how to work a trigger and I won’t put a rifle basix into it because I think what I’ve done is better,…
I’d be hard pressed to spend that much effort on one again with the quality of bixNandy, triggertech, rifle basix or Timney.
With the option of finding others (geissle comes to mind) that offer single and double set triggers, what level of performance do you care to buy.
If you’ve never shot a single or double set, wow, you’re in for a treat. Standard 3 lb pull with the option of a 6 oz pull…
Pretty much. If you pull the main trigger, it’s a long, harsh and heavy pull. Kind of by design.I've never used a two stage trigger, other than a TC renegade. I couldn't see a use for this rifle needing one, do they work the same as the old muzzleloaders?
The B&C stock shows up tomorrow. The Magpul magazine showed up today. The trigger isn't due for another 1-3 weeks, unfortunately.You are on the right track. Any 700 that isn't broken that is properly bedded and floated and properly assembled and torqued should shoot as well as you can.
I have an old Sportsman 78 that has a beautiful BDL Gloss Monte Carlo Stock and a Zeiss Conquest on it. Shoots 130gr TSX groups touching at 100yards. Just took a little work bedding and floating.
