[spleify]

Looking to upgrade my trigger on my 700, what is recommended? Can I do this for around $150?

Mikes choice is solid but it is pretty hard to beat a Timney 510 as well. Jewell is also a solid choice but they cost more and are more susceptible to dirt.
Decisions, decisions.......

Shilen or Jewell.

For dragging around the dirt, not a Jewell.

So out of these listed which would you suggest

Shilen Standard Model Trigger - Chrome-moly ............... $110.00
Shilen Standard Model Trigger - Stainless .....................$155.00
Shilen Competition Model Trigger .................................$155.00

For a buck and a half pretty much one choice , Shilen. I've run both the Shilen and Jewell in my rifles and had no issue's. My stuff gets used a lot in the dirt and not treated like a museum piece and I haven't had issue's with my Jewell in the dirt but know people that have .

If you're going to make a change, might as well make a big change and go for the competition model.

Get the standard trigger , got to swap the safety from the old Remy trigger , the X mark safety wont work so if you have that trigger you'll need a safety kit too , Rifle basics has them separately . The comp trigger is a bench rest trigger and will be to light for anything but that .

So if I get the Shilen I need to swap over the safety from my current one? You would think for the money they could make it complete for ya.

Between the Shilen standard chrome moly and the Timney what is recommended?

Thanks for the help guys!

Is your OEM trigger a standard Rem 700 or the newer X-Mark trigger? If the former, then you already have the parts you need to install the Shilen - just need to swap them over, which is a pretty simple task. If you have the X-Mark, then you need to purchase a couple of extra parts, as follows:

* Safety -- http://www.midwayusa.com/product/479...vc=sugv1523226

* Bolt Stop Release -- http://www.midwayusa.com/product/352...700-steel-blue

BTW - Midway has the Shilen for a bit less than the $110 you mentioned upthread. The Midway price is $98 -- http://www.midwayusa.com/product/523...54BrandPopProd

I have not compared the Shilen to the Timney, but I have installed the Shilen trigger in two rifles and am quite pleased with them and the improvement over the Remington OEM triggers.

I hope this helps.
