    I enjoy needing to be that little bit more precise and the calibers' precision. And its great using something that is not obnoxious.

    As Barry says, if it’s a older model 700 with the Walker trigger then it just needs adjusting. They are a great unit with some adjustments.

    Are you describing trigger creep or just a consistent trigger pull weight? I’ve got a trigger tech on my rem 700 build, best trigger ive ever had. Very nice
