I wish they would just pay for an aftermarket upgrade...
[Rant1][Bang][thumbdown]
Mine is affected but since I'm working on reload problems with my rifle, I have no freaking reason not to just send it back now. Besides, I'm super busy now until the end of May so why not.
I will be calling them on Monday, but I assume you have to remove the scope. I got my rifle 1.5mo ago, JUST got the freaking thing zeroed and spent nearly $50 on quality match ammo (1 box) to zero it so this just REALLY pisses me off!
I have 2 that are affected. =\
Mine too
Replace with Timney or Jewell.
Problem solved and you have a trigger that is safer than ANY factory Remington trigger.
Well I HAVE had my eyes on the Jewell 1.5oz-3lb trigger before I even bought my rifle, maybe I'll just buy it next month and avoid sending my rifle in.
We should get a group buy on triggers as mine is also effected. So what are the good ones?
Timney.
My sweet .260 build has this trigger.
crap.
Not affected! Glad to know for sure. Sorry to those of you that are affected.
I have two that are affected, however they both have 1lb Timney's in them now, so I guess I'm ok. It sounds like the recall is internal to the trigger only?
Frustrated. This is the second time I've had to send mine back. Both factory issues. Love the rifle but it's upsetting when you have a brand new one and it's had to go to the factory twice. Oh well.
Has anyone called Remington to find out how long it takes to get the rifle back? I've been so slammed with work I haven't had time to even spend 5min to call when Rem is open.
I was considering the Jewell, but after lots of research am starting to lean towards a Timney 510 set at 2.5lbs. And since the cost dropped almost in half from wanting the Jewell to the Timney, I could pretty much buy the new trigger now and not worry about losing my rifle for weeks to months.
I was finally able to get ahold of someone at Remington, here's what I found out:
What Must Be Returned - Ship ENTIRE rifle MINUS the scope (they provide box/shipping label)
Return Time - At LEAST 4-6 weeks, but no definitive time frame at this time
Compensation - NONE (Well, free recall repair, free shipping, possibly 40% off remington.com accessories, so in reality, none without giving more money to them)
I think I've decided I'm going to just get a Timney 510 and forget it all together.
I'm leaning towards the Timney also…

No problem. For the record, I bought my Timney 510 from Timney directly. Got it in 3 days. Requested 2.5lbs from you factory and while I haven't measured, it feels AWESOME!!Quote:

They come after the person who sold it, but that person can go after Remington because they refused to repair that trigger just because it wasn't in a rifle anymore.
Thanks J, I found one local at Trigger Time, going to grab it in the morning.Quote:

Wait i'm confused, didn't Remington spend 10's of millions of dollars in lawyers fees to say that their triggers are safe for the past 10 years? what made them do the recall? they lose a case?
As an added bit of information, the free S&H for the recall is basically indefinite. I called and told them that I'm moving in a couple of months, and that if I waited until August to send it in, it'd be no problem with their free S&H.
I filled out the info over a month ago and still no box for postage.
Mine is on the recall but I think I'll just put in an aftermarket trigger. It's a good excuse to tell the wife.
Thx to buffcyclist peer pressure, I ordered the Timney 2.5# 510 trigger today : DQuote:

ETA: Ordered yesterday, got the email this morning that it's shipped! (ordered direct from www.timneytriggers.com)
I also don't want to send in my whole rifle or take the scope off.
No problem, glad I could help! [Tooth]Quote:

Like the title says............ http://www.remington.com/pages/news-...odelseven.aspx
Did a search prior to posting and did come up with anything.
Thanks, I will have to check mine!
Joy.
Smooth trigger on mine. I have adjusted the break on it and banged it around trying to get it to click though.
I've yet to check 2 of mine and I came across this a couple days ago......... LOLQuote:
