I bought a “new” 20 year old 700 in 30.06 this year. It had never been fired. It’s as accurate as I am. My only complaint about the trigger is that I wish it was a little lighter. I don’t know if sitting in a closet for 20 years has anything to do with it or not. I haven’t taken the trigger assembly apart to clean it.
*** My only complaint about the trigger is that I wish it was a little lighter.***
Mine, bought in 1971, has a very light trigger. I believe all triggers were made heavier about 30 years ago after the anti-gunners started screaming about anything they could find.
My SAVAGE, on the other hand, bought about 10 years ago needed work. Too much creep and heavy pull.
Once I sighted in my Remington and .303 Jungle carbine I used to have.
The lock time on the .303 was terrible as was the trigger.
