Remington 700?

[Smellydog]

Today I traded my 527 for a 700.
According to the date code I think it's from 2010.
This will be my fourth liaison with a 700 but I don't recognise the trigger in that it is black and I thought the later versions had an adjustment screw in the blade and were of a satin grey finish. Could it be an after market?? It is quite a nice trigger and I was surprised!
Thanks in advance.

Picture May help

Could be a Shilen being black

Rifke basix are also black if I recall

If as the OP says he found the trigger surprisingly good then probably not a Rifle Basix!

To br fair I’ve got 2 or 3 and they’re not great but they’re safe and break cleanly - just a lot of slop when uncocked or the safety on.

I didn't notice any slop!

Always good not having any slop! If it’s a RB trigger the advice I was given is don’t mess with it - leave it as set by the factory and don’t be tempted by the 3 little grub screws… Sounds like it’s a good one whatever it is. Love my 700’s, have 5, all of them shoot extremely well, have fun!

Most of the eaten up with Remington 700’s guys I know take the set screw trigger out and replace them . Of the six 700 action guns I’ve got one has a good old 700 trigger , four have Timney triggers that’ll adjust down under a pound and the sixth one my muzzle loader has the set screw trigger but it still is down to 1 1/2 pounds and consistent . The 700 5R fluted HB gun I have I purchased new and it had the set screw trigger . Before I ever fired it we put a Timney in and set it at about ten ounces . This rifle goes thru life with a suppressor and is usually fired from a Caldwell tripod front and back cradle thing , this gun is usually used for damage control stuff in warmer weather .

Yes

Yes

I was just going to ask the same question. Looks like it is the Remington 40X trigger, which comes with the 700 Police series. Lovely triggers, which tallies with what you're saying.

My old Timney looked a bit like that, albeit the edges were perhaps more crisp.

I don’t have it any more as the proof house broke it

Thanks fellas, quite excited

Still be good to see a pic to 100% confirm, I'll reference it off my 700 Police.

I'll probably not see it until the variation returns but if I do I'll post a photo or two.
Thank you.

Looks like a standard “walker” trigger . Of course a picture of your trigger would be better to ID it. Its always difficult to ID something with a picture of someting else to look at. I include a picture of someone that looks like me.

My gunsmith replaced my Mark x pro trigger with a Timney in my olde .204 700 it was a great improvement then he proceeded to do everything else to accurrise it,cut new chamber,re barrel & 12% crown after that it was perfect

 

[260madman]

Yes

That’s a standard Walker trigger. Someone probably broke their X Mark/X Mark Pro trigger and had it replaced with the old school trigger. Those X triggers seemed to break on the regular although the one I have on a Varmint 308 is still trucking along. The X triggers were another Cerberus Holdings fk up.

Here's my 40X trigger for comparison when you get it back.
