Great Trigger
I was initially skeptical because of the price, but decided to try it because of the reviews. I cant see how any other trigger could be better, unless it included the safety on the trigger already. The safety switch wasn't that hard, just takes some patience. The video on Brownell's will help if you get stuck. Great trigger for a great price
Great bang for the buck
Got a CMP stripped 40-XB .22LR reliever about a month ago to install this on. Installation was very easy, instructions and 1/8" installation pins are included. All that was needed was a drift punch (smaller than 1/8") and a small hammer. At the range it functions GREAT. Trigger breaks like a glass rod, with no over-travel. Do NOT use this in the field for hunting, it is for target shooting only.
Shilen Comp trigger
Had gotten a Remington 40-XB "stripped" barrelled from the CMP N. Store Labor Day weekend. No trigger, bolt or stock. Bought this trigger, used my 2007 CPM 40-XB bolt (it properly headspaced) and the old stock, and borroowed a Tasxo 10-40X scope from another gun in the cabinet. What a trigger. The 1964 gun shot great, the trigger is VERY light in pull, so don't close the bolt unless you are ready to shoot. This is truely for target shooting, would not be safe for hunting. Will buy another one of these triggers for the 3rd 40-X I have in the waiting.
Its a no brainer.
Used this trigger on a varmint gun. This trigger is about as good as they get. The one reviewer that said the factory safety didn't work with it. More than likely replaced an XMARK PRO not the older model. The XMP safety doesn't work with it but you can purchase a safety that does through Brownell's. Bought a Timney for another Varmint Gun. The Shilen in my opinion seems cleaner and the narrower trigger width in comparion to the Rem and Timney personally allows me a more precise feel. Sort of like a butter knife versus a scapel. Best trigger for the money!
Thing of beauty
Definitely take a pic of your remi trigger to make things easier, almost perfect drop in amazing crisp shoots perfect ended up buying 2 for my pss's one first shot it needed no adjustment out of the box bought the other since they were on sale. Cannot be happier just don't breathe too hard on it.
Outstanding!
Absolutely the finest trigger I have ever used.
Well made & crisp release
Simple installation, fits perfect without any fitting, crisp release and constant weight of pull, can be adjusted precisely, safe at 750 gram or 3/2 lbs
I will definitely buy this again
It was easy to fit and the factory safety went on no sweat, As one other said take a foto of your factory unit before you pull it down an then fitting is easy. set the pull to 2# and it has never varied, good to go.
Trigger Bliss
I put one of these on my 700 ADL in Spring of 2005. It gives an absolutely perfect 1 1/2 lb pull with no variation. It's even better than the trigger on my Remington 40X and that's saying something. It CAN be used with the factory safety BUT the safety portion of the installation is not easy. I was getting frustrated trying it and had to call Shilen for help. After following their instructions, I got the factory safety working exactly like it did when new.
I would highly recommend this trigger.
This is the best trigger I have used to date. It doesnt look different from the standard but the quality is night and day difference. The safety and bolt release from the old trigger fits easily as long as you take pictures of the old one or have pictures of one already assembled. I did not do so, and had to go to the internet until I found a good set of pictures. There are virtually no instructions which may dictate you having to go to a gunsmith if you don't follow my recommendations.
