dannywayoflife Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 Please can someone tell me how I can tell which trigger is on my Remington 700? I am looking at options to either tune or replace the current trigger but I'm not sure if it's the old version of the newer X Mark? Cheers Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmer7 Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 I had two a few years back, one with the original trigger the other the X-mark. The old version had vertical ribs on the trigger blade and the X-mark was smooth with a rib running down the back of the blade. Not sure if there are other distinguishing features or not.

colin jalland Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 There's a picture half way down this page showing the difference: http://remingtonfirearmsclassactionsettlement.com/faqs I have had quite a few Rem 700 and have to say that the new Calvin trigger in my .223 is spot on .

dannywayoflife Posted April 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Looks like mine is the older version with the vertical ribs. Can these be tuned down to say 1.5-2lbs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggy Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Yes they can. I had mine set up by Riflecraft and it's very nice indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannywayoflife Posted April 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Cool thanks mate mine is pretty nice as is as I "think" Peter Saroney may have done some work on it when he did his PR conversion on it. I just would like it to be lighter really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeJ Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Looks like mine is the older version with the vertical ribs. Can these be tuned down to say 1.5-2lbs? I fitted a Riflebasix from SYSS to my 700 (to replace the X-Mark Pro item) and it's been an economical way to achieve a lighter, adjustable trigger. Wasn't keen to mess with the standard trigger myself either and didn't have access to someone like Mister B to fettle it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave thorniley Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 do yourself a favour and get a calvin elite trigger, awesome bit of kit, it will transforme your remmy, and im a jewell trigger fan regards dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannywayoflife Posted April 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 Bradders will be asked to do the trigger along with breaking free the muzzle break as I want to go to the TET TAC break and Spartan sound mod. Just need to figure out when I can get up past bradders to drop em in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1971silversurfer Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 I have had quite a few Rem 700 and have to say that the new Calvin trigger in my .223 is spot on . ditto this....I had a recalled trigger (x mark )that came back worse than it went away with no adjustment for an adjustable trigger this was a joke....kept it for two days then replaced it with a unit from Spud - a Calvin Elite....worth every penny.
