TriggerTech R700 Primary Trigger: The Gold Standard for Remington 700 Precision
When it comes to upgrading the world’s most popular bolt-action platform, the TriggerTech R700 Primary is the undisputed leader in performance, reliability, and feel. Whether you are building a custom competition rig, a long-range hunting rifle, or upgrading your factory Remington 700, this drop-in trigger is designed to eliminate the variables that hold shooters back.
At Chattahoochee Munitions, we specialize in high-performance platforms like our CM7S Bolt Action Rifles, and we know that a rifle is only as good as its interface with the shooter. The TriggerTech Primary provides that “glass rod” break that precision enthusiasts demand.
Why Choose TriggerTech for Your Rem 700?
The TriggerTech philosophy centers on one revolutionary concept: Frictionless Release Technology™ (FRT). Unlike traditional triggers that rely on sliding friction (which leads to creep and inconsistent pull weights over time), TriggerTech utilizes a patented free-floating roller between the sear and the trigger lever.
Key Benefits of the Frictionless Release Technology™:
-
Zero Creep: Because there is no sliding friction, there is no “travel” before the break. It is instantaneous.
-
Enhanced Reliability: The system is designed to shed dirt and debris, ensuring your trigger won’t fail in the field or at the range.
-
Consistent Pull Weight: Without the wear and tear of metal-on-metal sliding, your pull weight stays exactly where you set it, shot after shot.
Technical Specifications & Features
The TriggerTech R700 Primary isn’t just about the break; it’s about the total user experience.
-
Adjustable Pull Weight: Ranging from 1.5 to 4.0 lbs, this trigger is versatile enough for both tactical applications and precision benchrest shooting.
-
CLKR Technology™: Adjustments are made via an externally accessible set screw with tactile clicks. Each click represents a 1oz increment, allowing for field adjustments without removing the action from the chassis or stock.
-
Internal Durability: Built with hardened 440C stainless steel internals, this trigger is corrosion-resistant and engineered for a lifetime of service.
-
Safety Features: Includes a premium Remington-700 style safety lever that is smooth to operate and highly secure.
Choosing Your Style: Flat vs. Curved
We offer the TriggerTech R700 Primary in two distinct shoe styles. Choosing the right one depends on your ergonomics and your rifle’s grip geometry.
-
Flat Trigger Shoe: Highly recommended for rifles with a vertical pistol grip, such as our CM7S Aluminum Chassis. A flat blade allows the shooter to place their finger anywhere on the trigger while maintaining a consistent linear pull.
-
Curved Trigger Shoe: The classic choice for traditional stocks and angled grips. The curve helps naturally center your finger for a repeatable pull every time.
Integration with Chattahoochee Munitions Builds
The TriggerTech R700 Primary is a staple in our shop. If you are looking to complete a full build, this trigger pairs perfectly with our CM7S Barrels and AICS Pattern Magazines.
For those shooting modern calibers like the 8.6 Blackout or .375 Raptor, having a crisp, light trigger is essential for managing the ballistics of these heavy-hitting rounds.
TriggerTech Rem 700 Primary Trigger (Clean) (Stainless Finish) (Flat or Curved)
The Rem 700 Primary is the ideal upgrade to improve accuracy and precision on any Remington 700 model rifle. Featuring TriggerTech’s Frictionless Release Technology™, this drop-in trigger provides a true zero-creep break, extremely short over-travel, and offers outstanding reliability, even in the harshest environments. Utilizing CLKR Technology™, the pull weight is quickly and confidently adjusted from 1.5 – 4.0 lbs in 1oz increments from an externally accessible set screw. Due to the exceptionally crisp break, most shooters report the pull weights feeling ~0.5lbs lighter than a friction-based trigger of the same measured pull weight.
Frictionless Release Technology™, along with hardened 440C stainless steel internal components, ensures corrosion resistance and an extended service life. As Frictionless Release Technology™ does not rely on coating, polishing, or lubricating the key engagement surfaces, trigger pulls will be more consistent from shot to shot and after thousands of shots, more than you ever thought possible.
Our guidance is to choose Flat for pistol grip firearms, like the CM7S in the CM Aluminum Chassis, and Curved for angled grip, like traditional stocks and chassis.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Is the TriggerTech R700 Primary a “drop-in” trigger?
Yes. It is designed to be a direct replacement for the factory Remington 700 trigger. No gunsmithing is typically required, though we always recommend verifying safety and function after installation.
2. Can I adjust the pull weight without taking the rifle apart?
Absolutely. Thanks to the CLKR Technology™, the adjustment screw is externally accessible. You can dial in your preferred weight from 1.5 to 4.0 lbs using a simple hex key.
3. Will this trigger work with Remington 700 clones?
Yes, the TriggerTech R700 Primary is compatible with most Remington 700 clone actions (such as Bergara, Christensen Arms, and custom actions used in our CM7S builds).
4. Does the “Flat” or “Curved” style affect the pull weight?
No, the pull weight remains the same. The difference is purely ergonomic. Flat triggers are often preferred for tactical/chassis setups, while curved triggers are preferred for traditional hunting stocks.
5. Why does the pull feel lighter than 1.5 lbs?
Because there is zero creep or friction, the “perceived” pull weight is often lighter than the actual measured weight. Many shooters find that a 2 lb TriggerTech feels like a 1.5 lb traditional trigger.
