Remington rifle settlement

Back in the late 70's they recalled all XP-100s for trigger refits. At the time, I had the factory trigger crisp and breaking clean at 1.5 lbs. I was shooting against sporting rifles and took a lot of money home with it. After the trigger refit, about as good a group as I can get with it is 1.5" at 100 yds. I can't get anywhere near as good a trigger as I had and since I quit shooting it, there was no need for an aftermarket trigger. But since then, the family pretty doesn't carry any rifle on safety, that just isn't good enough. Before it comes in the house it's unloaded outside.  It stays unloaded until you're ready to go hunting. The bolts are left open with covers over the muzzle. Once at the vehicle, we chamber a round but then pull the bolt back up. You can drop it, pull the trigger, beat on it, it's not going off. If a varmint runs out, all you have to do is close the bolt and it's ready.
After market triggers. I guess I've had them all. One of the bench rifles which is a Sako action with a Hart Match Air Lapped barrel has a Dayton Traster, I have the Jewell's,among other and of course Timney and Rifle Basix. For a hunting rifle where you would expect hunting ranges in excess of 300 yds, the Rifle Basix is hard to beat. I put one in a Remington 700 that had the J Lok crap in the bolt. I replaced the guts of the bolt with a Callahan Speed Lok and got rid of that mess. Put a Rifle Basix in it and the thing thinks it's as good as any 308 bench rifle out there. Shot several one hole groups with the standard weight barrel. So if you're considering replacing the trigger in any Remington, take a good look at the Rifle Basix.

I have had several 700's of various flavors over the years. I currently have 2, both with the factory stock X-Mark Pro triggers. I have not made any adjustments at all to these and do not plan to. I have not had the recalls done either. They work great for me and I expect them to for years to come.
