Thread: Remington 700 trigger recall

Any ideas who in Wellington area would do the swap of the trigger

I did the upgrade to a Timney as well. Good way to get a trigger job.

I did it
When to remington site, entered the number , told.me it was a effected rifle and to to contact collings and Bradley in chch.
Had to send it down to them and they replaced the standard base model trigger with the xmark pro 2 adjustable trigger,
It was a big improvement
So i was pretty happy

Pm'd you @jim160

They replace the original 3 screw adjustment walker triggers.

Purely for legal reasons as the walker is very adjustable for sear engagement, over travel and pull weight. Bubba jobs can make them in safe.

They are a far superior trigger to the X pro. The Timmey is similar to the walker.

I Would not swap it out just check your original trigger passes the drop test, as that is what poorly adjusted ones were failing.

Flip the rifle over and look at the bolt release tab just in front of the trigger. If it has a small punch-mark on it, you’re clear.

I read recently that the Remington is having problems with some of the replaced triggers now.

Are you actually going to put the blame on Bubba?

Only issue is it's not covered under warranty, but I'm getting him to adjust anyway.

Put it in yourself mate. easy as, numerous videos and how to do tips on the net, did my first change this way.

im happy enough to fit .do a lot of my own gunsmith stuff anyway.may have to get intouch with outdoor place and chat to them about it
