Reviews & Ratings for Triggertech Remington 700 Two-Stage Special Trigger w/Bolt Release — 2 reviews — Page 1

First, I am a huge fan of 2-stage triggers. My very first big game rifles were sporterized 303 Enfield and Mauser actions that came with 2-stage triggers, so I learned to shoot on 2-stages, and they just feel like home to me. Whenever possible, I outfit all my guns (bolt action or AR based) with a good 2 stage trigger. I haven't used all of the ones that are out there, but I've used LaRue (on AR's), Geissele (on both Rem 700's and AR's), Timney (on Interarms and Tikka's), as well as the aforementioned Mauser and Enfield. Because of that, I feel like I have some basis on which to judge this as a 2-stage trigger beyond just "hey, I like it".

All that said above - this is the best 2-stage trigger I've ever used. The first stage is not super-long (but it's long enough), the 2nd stage is super-crisp, and there's no perceptible over-travel once the trigger breaks. The trigger shoe is reasonably wide, nicely flat, and the safety is smooth operating and not gritty at all. Mine came out of the box so perfectly set (1 lb 1st stage, 1.75 lb 2nd stage) that I haven't even touched the adjustments (though I may bump the 2nd stage up to 2lbs for hunting use).

* Note, this 2-stage has a wide/flat trigger shoe. The TriggerTech Single-Stage I own has a narrow and serrated shoe, which is not at all the same.

The specific points that make this better than the Geissele Rem 700 trigger, are that the 2nd stage is heavier than the 1st (as it should be). No amount of adjusting the Geissel...
