I have a .308 remington 700 AAC-SD that has a factory adjustable trigger and its about the worst factory adjustable trigger I can remember ever shooting. What is the best (and most affordable) replacement trigger? I would likely be using this for shooting paper only, prefer no more than 2#. I was about to pull the trigger on a timney, but there seems to be WAY more options out there than I remember seeing the last time I replaced a remington 700 trigger (about 20 years ago).

Trigger Tech or Timney would likely be good options.

Had Trigger Tech and Timney both in a couple model 700s. I prefer the Trigger Tech.

Jewell until they quit making them. Trigger Tech or Bixn-Andy.


Keep your booger hooker off the bang switch.

I have both. The trigger tec is nice and crisp and you better be ready to shoot when you put your booger hooker on it.

Timney and it was pre set at 4#. Its smooth and crisp.

I prefer Timney simply because I can get them cheaper than Trigger Tech.
That said, they are both really good triggers.
Trigger Tech is hard to beat if you catch them on sale

Anything is better than what Remington put in them from the factory. When I was ordering my new model 7, I had heard they weren’t good, and thought surely they can’t be that bad. Man was I wrong. Very inconsistent break it felt like. Put a Timney in it and it’s much better. You’ll be good with whatever you decide to go with.

I can't remember who it was now, but a few months ago someone was offering free Timney or Trigger Tech triggers in trade for the old Remington Walker Triggers.
If you know what you are doing those Walker triggers can be tweaked and are NICE!

Yes they really were. Have one on my older Model 7 Harvey King did and it think it’s better than my Timney.

I ordered the trigger tech specials and got it installed and was able to shoot it some this past weekend. It is an awesome trigger, hard to say what about it is better than my timney trigger but it is noticeably better (maybe is more crisp, maybe it has less travel (it seems to have absolutely zero travel).

If anyone is considering one, they are worth every penny.

Timney uses the classic sear design that is metal on metal finely polished and tuned.
TriggerTech has a ceramic "roller bearing" (not sure that's what they call it) between the trigger and sear that rolls out of the way to allow the gun to fire

This has been my take with the TT also.

I’ve had kids shooting my gun and everyone of them has been super accurate.

One lil fella has missed 4x with his dads gun and hammered one with my gun.

I fully believe it’s the trigger difference.

His pops has a ruger with that blade trigger and I believe it’s causing his son’s accuracy problem

I hate that safety blade in every make model rifle that has one
