Thread: What can be done to improve the Remington Model 7 trigger?

I like a nice light pull weight, ideally somewhere around the 1.5-2lbs mark which will be the same as other rifles in the stable. This is my first Remington I’ve owned, and all other rifles are Tikkas fitted with ‘Yo Daves’ aftermarket trigger springs.

I have no experience with Remington triggers to know if this is even possible with the factory trigger, online tutorials show me how to adjust the grub screws, but realistically can I (or a gunsmith) achieve what I’m wanting with the factory setup, or do I throw it away and buy something aftermarket.

Also, the safety on this rifle seems to need a lot of force to engage, disengage. I’m not sure if this is typical but seems excessive.

What have others done with their Mod 7’s to improve the trigger and what is the best I can hope for without having to fork out for something aftermarket?
