@stug thanks for your input. It would be great to get it to 2.5lbs if only I could get my hands on that article.
I do know you can get a trigger spring in the states but getting it here is difficult. I have read on the Gunworks website for the Timney 521 their gunsmiths can only get them down to 3-3.5lb which is not a big advantage over the factory for price.
Buy a timmney and be forever happy, as a side note the lighter firing pin has nothing to do with trigger pull weight it may reduce lock time and the other benefit is reducing the weight of the assembly therefore the weight of the rifle.Quote:

About ten years ago there was Model 7 in the local shop with all the above likes.
I faltered and missed it, great regret, kind of like choosing the wife instead of a rich, athletic nymphomaniac.
Timney triggers are base model compared to Triggertechs which are often the same or less money for 2-3x the trigger.
My M7 7mm08 did well with some 150grain ELDX handloads today.

Pretty sure I've got an earlier Model 7 trigger, pre X Mark Pro or whatever theyre called, sitting doing nothing.Quote:

I have a new timney Im not using, trigger pull gets to 1.5 lb apparently. Cost $400 to get in last year. Would sell for $350 +postage
I have one of the above Timney's on my Mod 7saum, they are easily adjustable between 1.5lb - 4lb. I have it set at 1.5lb and it is a nice trigger. IMHO 1.5 is about as low as you'd want to go on a general hunting rifle.

Just recently got this Remington Model 7 from Friwi on the forum - super happy with it. In 308, with a 17inch barrel. Beautiful balance and great to handle. Nabbed it's first fellow yearling early this morning.
These are so hard to find! would be keen on a 708 / 308 / 300wsm in stainless :)
Spanners has one for sale from memory
Was also one in Wilson’s Wanganui in 243 for good price not long agoQuote:

Picked this little gem up the other day I’m not a Remington fan but do like the model 7 https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...977a274fe2.jpg

Just acquired this in 260. She's a bit rough and had a hard lifeI'd say but will be a good base for new build. 6 Creed maybe but will see how she shoots with factory ammo first.
Any unwanted stocks or triggers floating around?
