Paul,
The trigger was about 8 pounds. It is now a crisp 3 pounds and all screws have had Locktite applied as they should have after any adjustment.

Remington has done a rebuttal of the CNBC program which can be found on Youtube. It clearly demonstrates that CNBC created the "News" in their program and that each and every case used by CNBC to attack Remington was distorted, mis-quoted or was a plain fabrication. Go look at the destruction of the CNBC program, piece by piece.

I knew from watching the few minutes I saw of the CNBC program that it was pure bunk. I just turned it off.

I will repeat what i have said before: I spent 25 years as a range master at a rod and gun club range, I spent over 25 years as a match director, range officer and safety director. I have never seen a Remington 700 trigger or the various models that do or can use the 700 trigger malfunction unless they were adjusted by the shooter and 99% of those ADs were due to a failure to "glue" the screws in place once adjusted. In other words, Shooter's Error.

Ed. No argument from me. I have three Remington 700's and a 660 for good measure. The 660 is at least 37 years old and the M700 BDL is 29 years old. At least I bought it 29 years ago new from J.C. Penney's. Not too sure of the age on the Classic in 30-06 but the .35 Whelen Classic I believe is from what, 1988? The 30-06 is older than that. I've seen Remington's rebuttment. The program about Reminton's triggers was just another hatchet job by a bunch of lyinf liberal punks. With luck, dan Rather will have company.
