Just a thought, loosen the front action screw. It might be too long and be putting tension on the bolt body. Let us know how you make out.

As long as you don't put a 2Oz. on it, they all work ok. Just make certain the fit and function is perfect. A trigger is not something to scrimp on. Remember your safety and your partners safety depends on the trigger working right.

The stock Remington 700 trigger is a very decent adjustable trigger. Do a Google search on 'Remington 700 trigger adjustment' and you will find out how to adjust the factory trigger. I have been doing my own 700 triggers for years and they are exremely nice. About 1 1/2 lb with 0 creep.
