looking at smashy's link, they overlubed the XMP triggers...
if you have an XMP trigger, clean your fucking trigger...problem solved. |

I just got my 700 AAC-SD setup the way I want it. If they want to send me a new trigger then ok, but I'm not going through all the hastle to send the rifle to them and wait weeks for them to return it.
Ill just buy a new trigger, probably should anyway.. And their recall web site form is jacked up.. |

Taking all the rifles back with XMs and XMPs that they manufactured in a five year span? I've dropped my rifle and smacked it around plenty times with no safety issues. Issue a pdf on how to fix the "problem" ourselves or I will never buy another remington (freedom group) product. This is ludicrous. I highly doubt they are taking certain batches back. They're just taking them all. They manufactured and sold an allegedly dangerous rifle for five years?!? Offer the owners compensation. The only thing I see being offered is weeks of waiting for something that may be a non issue with many guns.
I will more than likely be drafting an email for them this weekend. I have a nice bit of money (for me) tied up in my rifle and am not sending it back as a complete gun and I'm certainly not going to remove everything from the barreled action. |

Checked mine and it wasn't included, but they still gave me a 20% off code, which I used along with the free shipping for $50 or more, and bought the +2 extension and all the associated pieces for my 870.

I ditched my 9-12 lb uneven-breaking X-Mark trigger and replaced it with a Jewell trigger. It's a thing of beauty.
EDIT: Just checked on the website. My rifle absolutely is on the recall list. Fuck it, I love my Jewell. I don't want Remington to fuck it up... My Rem 700XCR shoots just at an inch with handloaded .270WSM 140gr accubonds. |

I think I'm up to 8 Geisselles now... The best factory trigger I have is on my Savage Model 12 6.5 Creedmoor... Out of the box, its perfect.
I shot this with factory Hornady 140gr AMAX with the Savage this weekend...

Mine already has a timney. But I'd buy an aftermarket before I boxed that rifle up and sent it to be finger banged by remington.

Seems like guys were adjusting factory settings at home on these earlier ones and they then could go off when set down, safety taken off, etc. Geezuz, how long before they learn to put a trigger out that isn't going to be recalled to "fix" it later?

Wonderful. My new 700-5R .300 Win Mag that I added a muzzle brake and detachable box magazine conversion to is affected.
It had better come back with the same trigger pull it ships with.

It had nothing to do with people adjusting factory settings the designer of the trigger group admitting that it was faulty and said it would only cost 5 cents per trigger to correct the design but Remington didn't want to spend the money. |

It barely adjusted downward with the warranty-voiding method of removing the sealant on the pull weight screw. NOTE: in its present state, the rifle has been tested for safe functioning, but is used only as a target rifle. I know the rifle is very accurate, turning in a 0.8 MOA 5-shot group last time I shot it from the bipod. It's such a nuisance to use that bad trigger that I actually dislike shooting the rifle. Could the excess bonding agent be the cause of the horrid tigger pull, or is it just generally a bad tigger? |

Well, actually it did and with unclean trigger groups dried oil, grease, etc. And, you are also correct about some former "Rem engineer" saying that the trigger could have been designed to avoid the accidental discharge problem but Rem didn't want to spend the money. |
