New From TriggerTech: Diamond Remington 700 Trigger

1. 4oz pull weight? I’d be afraid to chamber a round at the ran ge!

   Anyway, I’ve already been triggered by Timney.

   • I was literally thinking the same thing. My deer hunting rig this year will be a Rem 700 LTR .308 with a Timney trigger topped with a Burris XTR 312 in US Optics rings. And, I thought you should know that I was forced to buy a gorgeous Smith 627 PC 5″ .357 because you corrected me on the .357 mag having marginally more powder capacity than the 10mm.

     • Ha! Well Smith does make some pretty g uns if you can get past the Hillary hole. 10mm is a fine round for autos, but if you could only have one handgun round it should be .357.

       I ordered a Tim ney for my 700VTR (.308) the day after I contacted Remin gton for the recall. 8 weeks later I finally got the box to send it back. Who knows how long it would have taken to get my ri fle back. I think it’s factory set at ~2.5lbs and it’s still enough to spoil every other tri gger I own. I really like the wider blade too. Picked up a Bushnell Engage 4-16x with the MOA reticle this spring. Sighted at 5moa high at 100 yards it will hit somewhere in the bottom 5 hash marks at 1000 yards depending on the specific load. No elevation adjustments necessary. It’s the only MOA scope I’ve seen that can do that (although I’ve never looked in the 4 figure ra nge).

2. So I have been told that there are a lot of problems with the Triggertech trigger for crossbows (hunting season started, people talk). Evidently the vibration of the bow or strings causes problems with the trigger resetting incorrectly. I would be surprised if cross bow recoil causes problems, but rifle recoil does not.

   Has anyone experienced problems with these triggers, crossbow or otherwise?

   • I read that the problem was that the carbide roller bearings were breaking across bows and guns both and that they had a recall to replace the carbide rollers with steel ones. Jeremy probably knows more about that.

     • not the carbide rollers breaking. This has to do with the vibration causing the string retention levers to reset improperly. Because of the anti-dry-fire mechanism, it requires some dexterity to reset and relax the bow.

     • Yeah they recalled the firearm triggers with carbide rollers and are now using a different steel for the rollers. I have a couple hundred rounds through the replacement for their carbide roller AR trigger I got a couple years ago, and it has been great. I like the feel of their triggers.

       No idea if there’s any connection or similarity between the crossbow ones and the firearm ones. My AR one has been working just fine. It’s installed in my “target” / “DMR” AR lower: https://www.instagram.com/p/BZ4w_Xujy9b/

3. These triggers won’t help you shoot faster, will they? If so, we should grab them while we can…

4. Now I’m wanting a better trig for my 243 but doubt they’d have one for Mossberg 800 b. , I don’t think Timney has one either, shux . No I aint getting another rifle, I know how this one shoots

5. this will be an nfa item soon if the nra gets its way

   and then americas first and foremost developmentally disabled gun blogger johannes paulsen can bloviate ad nauseam about how GENIUS it is

   what a delight it will be

   i for one cant wait…

6. I like my Jewell Trigger but I really want to try this Diamond.
