Remington 700 trigger

In benchrest, where rifles are often shot free recoil, with the shooter sometimes touching nothing on the rifle except the trigger shoe, a super light trigger helps reduce the possibility of any shooter-induced movement on the rifle that can spoil tiny groups. 

Sounds like a PERFECT setup to me!  Let me know when you get it finished so I can watch you shoot it!  

Just the thought of shooting my Lott off the bench free recoil hurts!!!

I adjusted the trigger on my 700VSF and although I like the trigger it has that same, almost imperceptible creep that supertool is talking about.  I have the timney trigger on my 270, and that is probably my favorite trigger.  No creep, no travel.  Just a clean break at 3.5#.  Not sure what is on my 300.  I bought the rifle used, and it had a custom trigger on it (although not adjusted properly).  So I adjusted it, but it might be a touch light at 2# for hunting.  But it is a great trigger. 

Never used a Jewell, and can't afford or justify it for what I do.  I like the timney trigger though.

My view is that if you are using a trigger pull at anything above 2 lbs then most factory triggers will work fine. If on the other hand you are working with lower pulls, then many factory triggers will have issues. Add to this that if you are trying for a high level of accuracy, then a good trigger becomes even more important. If you are at the level where your breathing, position building etc are having an effect on the super accuracy you are looking for, then only an aftermarket trigger will do.

Thanks for the info guys, it is helping a lot.  I don't care for them less than 3 either, I had it set for 2 for a short while and had it changed to 3#.  That is just to light for my wants/uses.

Sounds like the Timney or Basic is probably the best option for my uses, now I just have to decide which one.  Guess I will go talk to my smith and see if he has both of them on some rifles so I can try them out.
