NoNonsense...
I just read your remarks regarding the Vortex Scopes. I have never seen one of these scopes. How would you rate their products (something like the Viper PST) next to a Leupold VX-III...or even a Mark 4???
If you were buying a scope, would you take the Vortex over a Vari-X III??? Inquiring minds want to know... [:)][8D]

Is it possible to rework a Remington 700 trigger? I have a Sendero in 25-06 and the trigger pull is over 10.5 lbs. I'd love to drop a Jewel in it, but I was wondering if a competent gunsmith could reduce the trigger pull to down around <1 lb...preferably about 8 oz.?.?
I had a Weatherby SVM trigger reworked once and it was just as nice as my Jewel trigger. Is it possible to do this with a 700 trigger?
I'm also curious to know whether it's worth it to swap out the J Lock bolt shroud on this rifle? Thanks! [8D]0 -
ECC,
"Is it possible to rework a Remington 700 trigger?"
Absolutely! It's done all day, every day. It takes some skill and knowledge to get it to be repeatable and consistent but it's certainly doable.
"...but I was wondering if a competent gunsmith could reduce the trigger pull to down around <1 lb...preferably about 8 oz.?.?"
NO. No. No.
The M700 trigger is good down to about 2 lbs. consistently. 1-1/2 lbs can be achieved with some additional work but it's not always recommended. If you want or need a target weight trigger, buy one made for this. The newer 3 and 4 lever triggers are really nice but frightfully expensive.
"I'm also curious to know whether it's worth it to swap out the J Lock bolt shroud on this rifle?"
Yes, if only for the peace of mind that it doesn't get locked by accident. There is also some minor drag that occurs and the alignment of the shroud can be questionable sometimes. It's a simple task to replace it and there are some used firing pin assemblies floating around for reasonable prices.

yep, nononsense nails it again. My ONLY stock trigger is right at 2lbs and breaks like a custom trigger. After that, they get unsafe. If you want a lesser weight pull, buy an aftermarket and be miles ahead 0
