TriggerTech Remington 700 Triggers

In this video, Caleb walks through the TriggerTech trigger lineup for the Remington 700 and Remington 700 clones, then shows a full installation on a Remington 700 action. If you’re shopping the 700 trigger market, TriggerTech is one of the most common upgrades because it installs like a standard 700 trigger but gives you a cleaner break, adjustable pull weight, and consistent feel. Caleb explains the three main TriggerTech grades (Primary, Special, Diamond), the two trigger shoe options (flat and curved), and what changes as you move up the line. Then he removes the factory trigger, installs the new TriggerTech, reinstalls the bolt stop parts on the factory-style action, and runs through a practical function check. He also covers pull weight adjustment, why he likes a roughly 3 lb trigger for hunting rifles, and why a trigger pull gauge is worth owning if you adjust triggers.
