Trigger for Rem 700? Have xmark pro

[Pappabear]

My tigger is breaking at 4 lbs. The screw that is supposed to adjust, doesn't do shit. I looked at some Timney triggers. They said for rem700 , does not fit Xmark pro rifles.

Anyone have any luck adjusting the Xmarks?

Xmark is shit... in all its forms.

Not sure what the deal is with that Timney information. I've replaced 6 Xmark's, and 4 Xmark pro's with timney 510's. No issues on either.

Obviously you know what I'd recommend.

Good to know.

Looks like we're on the Timney express.

Why sad face? Be happy! They are great triggers for tactical/hunting rifles.

I set all mine up at 2.5lbs. The distinctive feature of the timney's is a wide trigger shoe with ample ribs. I very much like this. Others hate it, and go for a narrow shoe like a jewell or something similar. Jewel's are just too touchy for me. Timney is the right kind of tough and yet is amazingly crisp.

Only negative bout Timney is one more run to the bank $$$$. After base / rings, glass, stock. But there is no getting away from it, triggers SUCK. So one more run to the corn pile.

Exactly. The more I notionalize on it, the less painful another hundo seems.

A Timney 510 was the first thing I did to my Rem 700P.

The $125 wasn't even a dent in the overall budget for the barrel chop/threading, base, rings, scope, bedding, bolt knob, suppressor...

I am going to try that flat Timney trigger. Never wanted one for my AR's, but don't like steep curve on these rem triggers.
And this is entirely different beast.

I'll keep you guys posted on how we like it.

There should be two different models numbers on the Timney triggers. One doesn't come with a safety lever uses the one off the old style trigger. The other comes with a safety lever and is for use when replacing X-Mark triggers.

My X-Mark Pro was fine for a while. Then the pull weight started to go up when you didn't shoot it in a while and then it would drop down to what it was supposed to be after a few rounds. Replaced it with a old style take off trigger. It mysteriously works perfectly with a 2.5 lb pull.
