trigger pull
I have ordered a new Remington 22-250 varmit rifle. I don't know what the trigger pull will be yet, but I'm sure for precise shooting it will be too hard. Do any of you own one of these rifles and what pound trigger pull would be best? will be shooting 100- 300 yds.

Is the trigger adjustable on the 700 adl? How about on the rugers?
Any one shot the new savage with the adjustable trigger? As always thanks for your replies[:p]0 -
The Ruger triggers are not adjustable. Typically break at around 6# pull. 0 -
Almost all triggers can be ground or have springs (lighter) replaced by competent gunsmiths. The 700BDL has a trigger that you can adjust yourself, via set screws in the trigger group, but I am not sure about the adl, just call remington and ask. My smith told me he could do the MK II model 77 , but it is no job for the gun-owner to attempt by himself
A timney trigger for the ruger can be had for $75 and a rifle basix trigger can be had for the remington for $100 +/-, so keep that in mind also.
I didn't get in before He Dog posted, so i'll have to edit. The ruger triggers are NOT SUPPOSED to be touched. Don't try it yourself. I have no idea how to do it, I have never attempted it, I am only operating on what i was told, so take that for what it's worth. He Dog has had a ruger rilfe much longer than I have, so I would tend to listen to him.
I'm a man,....but I can change,.....If I have to,......I guess.0 -
Timney's are the way to go. I have put 4 of them in Ruger's, worth every penny and it is done right the first time. 0 -
I replaced one trigger in a Ruger with a Timney. The next I had done by a good smith. cost $20 and was worth double to me. Don't do it your self, the timneys have to be ground for the safety to slide over a shoulder on the trigger mechanism, and it needs machine tools to do it right. 0 -
here is a link to do a remmy 700 trigger job. it will work on any rem 700, regardless of model. i did one on my pss. much easier than i thought it was going to be

I have gotten several of my Remington triggers reworked over the years. The cheapest was $15 and the highest was $35. They were all done by gunsmiths. I'd recommend either a drop-in trigger (like the timney)or have it professionally done. Just think about how unsafe a gun can become if the trigger is done incorrectly. I had a muzzleloader once that got worn and when I pulled the set-trigger, the gun would randomly go off.

My older Savage 110 has a fully adj trigger. The "trigger pull adj spring" {if I remember the exploded view nomenclature right } is a piece of .063 music wire. I replaced it with .050 wire for a better pull and more preload which makes it safer than trying to adj the stiffer wire with little or no preload.
You need to read some articles or books written by knowledgeable people and then understand what you have read before you start trying to acheive very light pulls with factory triggers.

I have had some really good 700 triggers, and here is my recipe.
1. Buy a Holland trigger return sping. (I get mine from Brownells) This is the touchy part because without enough tension on the spring the trigger won't hold.
2. Lightly (!!!) smooth up all engagment surfaces with an arkansas stone. The trigger must be disassembled for this step.
3. Polish engagment surfaces with semi-chrome.
4.When setting the engagment (creep) you can see it through the hole in the trigger housing.
700 triggers are not magical, they are mechanical devices that can be tuned to your liking, but if you don't understand how they work, please get help from someone that does.0
