Great review. I have a Rem 700 22-250 (70's era) that I inherited from my dad that died in 1988 when I was very young. My mother passed in 2021 and I have the gun now. It hasn't been fired since before 88. I noticed it automatically fires when pushing the safety to fire & does the same if in the fire position & engaging the bolt. Anyway, I'm glad you provided this review. I know what I'm going to purchase now. Thank you sir.
Great review for aftermarket R700 triggers, the Trigger Tech seemed to be easiest to work with for average mortals. I’m thinking about buying a Remington 700 and figure a trigger upgrade is all part of it! I have a 40X/22lr that the barrel codes indicate as a 1961 piece and my gunsmith was able to adjust the trigger down to 5oz, talk about a dream to shoot! Anyways, the later made Remington triggers are always a bit suspect in my mind. The Trigger Tech models are probably the route I’ll choose. Again, thanks for the review!
I’ve had the ELF Timney and keep going back to my favorite the Triggertech Diamond worth every cent. One of the best upgrades to a rifle next to great barrel and scope.
Just installed a TriggerTech Primary on my Rem 700 and for a hunting rifle it adjusts down more than enough for me at 1.5 lbs. What an improvement compared to the stock Mark X Pro it came with. I have a Christensen Arms Mesa with the TriggerTech factory installed and while it doesn't adjust down as much it's still a nice trigger.
@@TheChairisAgainsttheWall The instructions I have from TriggerTech say it's designed for M 700 actions. To answer your question there are no issues at all with the bolt release, just need to make sure the spring is properly installed. Below is the PDF version of the booklet that came with the trigger. cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/3001/3276/files/2020_R700_Instructions_v04_a.pdf?v=1595562955
@@TheChairisAgainsttheWallWhere did you hear that? That is what they are made for Remington stock actions or actions? That's on the same footprint as theramengton. Who told you that it wasn't for Remington as dumb a**It wasn't trigger Tech yourself. Said that says right on the box for 700 actions.
Did you have any fit problems installing the Elf 700SE in the HMR? I found the dimensions of the Elf’s trigger housing did not allow the trigger to fit all the way in to be flush with the bottom of the stock.
Wish you covered the Jewel trigger. Have one in my surgeon and is the best I have ever experienced. Thinking of changing in my other Rem 700 s but would like to know how it compares to all the others.
I have a Timney Calvin Elite and I hate that you have to take the whole rifle out of the stock in order to adjust it. Are the Trigger Techs really as good as they are hyped up to be?
I really didn't care for how many joints and connection points the Timney had. The trigger tech is what stayed in the rifle, it's amazing. The Elf is really good too but the TT is really really nice.
I have an elf Match pro SE threaded in my AR. These trigger shoes are so freekin cool looking, and I KNOW the quality and value of them as well. They are clutch! 🎯 #ONPOINT #ELFTMANNTACTICAL
Let me ask you this about that. I have a pre 69 700 BDL, it's never failed me to this day. I had the trigger lowered to 3# by a gunsmith 5 or 6 yrs. ago still no problems. Put that in your book.
Buy a Triggertech and don't look back. Get the special or the diamond. There is a lot more than just pull weight. You don't realize the benefit of a nice trigger until you have one. It will definitely make you a better shot more consistently. I've poor boyed accuracy and I've spent money on accuracy, nice things help tremendously. On a side note, some of the most accurate rifles I've ever loaded for were pre 1980s 700s and a couple Rugers. Those things are badass. Post 2000s Remingtons are garbage, you would have much better odds in Vegas.
Iam82 in 2 months and live in daho and was elk hunting.with a remington 30-06 an it the went off I was picking it up by the strap .wont buy a rem again.
Why wasn’t the Jewel trigger tested? Kinda biased testing in my opinion.I wouldn’t use Anything Else!! Been using them for over 40 years. Best Trigger I Ever USED! You want to shoot tight groups: Get a JEWEL TRIGGER! B Deacon Manitoba 🇨🇦 Canada

You're set up for testing triggers was exceptionally ingenious. I subscribed to see what else you come up with. Thanks for the video

Yeah the trigger techs do seem to be the gold standard.
What an awesome review , just bought the triggertech thanks to you !
Thank you for this, I ended up getting the TriggerTech Diamond based on your video. Absolutely perfect for what I needed.
The TT triggers are really great.
Top notch Canadian manufacturing. TT is the gold standard.
I tend to agree with you. I have the two and they are both great.
I agree. Love the Triggertech triggers
Impressive lab setup! Great work!
Ijust installed a timmney calvin elite its a great upgrade from the grainy pull on factory trigger
Thanks for watching

Any issues with the bolt release? Triggertech says their triggers are not for remington stock actions, but if it works for you, I’m down.

Very nice video! Thanks for telling us where the triggers are made! I will definitely buy a good Triggerteck trigger!!
Thanks for watching. I'm looking at doing TriggerTech in my AR-15's now too
You should learn how to use valve lapping compound to the trigger assembly!
Interested to see how Timney’s new The Hit trigger would compare in your test.
It'd be a full time job to keep up with all the triggers. If they want to send me one to test I'd be happy to test it though!

I’d like to know this as well.
Do these fix the rem 700 trigger issues with the rifle discharging on its own by disengaging safety or the bolt
Yes
Good question thanks!
triggertech is best !!! canada all the way !!!
I do like them as well!
My Bergara HMR Pro came with a trigger tech trigger. What's withmnyour that hit did not have a trigger tech???
Ty for this vid. As a canuck ill be getting a TT.
Yep, I've bought a few more since this video!

@@ZackCarlson The hype is real.
Thanks
@@ZackCarlson how do they compare to Jewel Triggers?
Good question. I don’t have recent experience with a jewel. Last time I had trigger time on one was a few years ago.
Yes, the triggertech triggers are awesome. I prefer a 2-stage soi am using a Calvin Elite but I will be ordering 3 2-Stage diamonds when they come out
I thought the most valuable export from the great northland passed with the demise of the Professor. Then I found Triggertech.

Awesome review
Great video! Thanks
Thanks
I am searching for a two stage trigger for a R700 that will being something like a NM M-14 two stage trigger. Anyone have ideas?
Have you tried this with B&A tacsport
I haven’t
I was just about to comment about Bix'N Andy. Curious how they would stack up in this comparison.
Iam82 in 2 months and live in daho and was elk hunting.with a remington 30-06 an it the went off I was picking it up by the strap .wont buy a rem again.
Conclusion: 12:12
What part of America is it made at?
Canadian 🇨🇦
Should put cost on each
Prices change drastically over time. Click the links to see current prices.
Can you test the new cmc trigger
Maybe in the future.
@@ZackCarlson also see how fsr you can adjust the factory trigger until it fails.
I had a super bad experience with Elf man Customer service. I would never buy one of their products again.
Sorry to hear that.
