I assume there is no problem in doing the scenario below - but I'd be interested in input people might have.
I have 2 Remington 700s. One is brand new - .243 varmint model. I'm tricking it out with a nice scope and varmint stock. A new Timney trigger for it arrives tomorrow. Since the .243 rifle is brand new - it has the X-Mark Pro trigger in it.
My other Remington 700 is a .270 ADL that was made in the mid-70s. I don't hunt any more, but I do occasionally take this thing to the range and do some reasonably long range steel gong shooting. It still shoots wonderfully well.
Rather than put the X-Mark Pro trigger in a box on a shelf - I figure it's a better trigger than what is in the '70's era rifle right now. (I haven't actually done a detailed check to see how the two compare.)
So - does anyone see any issue in putting that new trigger in a 40+ year old rifle? Has anything changed in the design that would make old and new Rem 700s incompatible?
Thanks.
