ADDING ESSENTIAL EQUIPMENT — Bix’N Andy Rem 700 Competition Trigger
By Les Voth

An accomplished shooter buddy of mine is going to Tennessee for a family visit, but with the priorities a guy’s gotta have, he’s going to stop off at a F-Class match in Indiana on his way there. F-TR is his chosen corner of that discipline.

A Krauger Arms action is the rifle’s anchor/foundation, with a 28” Heavy Varmint MullerWorks cut barrel, Richards Microfit self-finished stock, Vortex scope, Leupold rings, Sinclair bipod makes up the equipment. He’s running Lapua brass and Berger 185 Juggernaut Target bullets. The powder? VV N150.

Benefits of a Trigger Upgrade
What we are encouraged to do as competitive shooters is run what we brung until some part of that is clearly holding us back. But sometimes some don’t know if something will, actually, make them better. Anyone who has already won their division in a F-Class match, and consistently scored right up at the top, must know their equipment and what that package brings to the target. My buddy knew, said so, and I believed him. But if there was a way to help even incrementally, I was after that increment.

Pulling out a used Bix’N Andy Remington 700 Competition trigger, I handed it to him and said, “I built this out of the used parts bin. Put it into your gun. Shoot it in Indiana, and give it back to me when you get back home.” Buddy put it in his gun and went to the underground range and shot it at 100 yards that night.

This target is the result of the use of the borrowed trigger. In the first group, on the left, the 30 cal hole on the bottom is the cold bore shot, out of a newly cleaned barrel. The group above the cold bore shot is seven rounds. The second group, on the right, is also seven rounds, shot immediately after the first group.

Buddy said, “I’ve done that before — but it’s never been that easy before! It’s always taken everything I’ve had to get those results!” Here’s how he described his first experience with this trigger: “Effortless”. For him to see the result of his ongoing lack of effort was exciting and exhilarating. It was easier than it had ever been. The kicker was that he did not have to concentrate on the trigger at all. He said he could concentrate on fundamentals more completely, and was not distracted by anything trigger-related.

Comparing Previously Installed Trigger
I will not mention the brand of trigger this Bix’N Andy Comp trigger replaced, but he brought it in the next morning so we could use our measuring device/fixture to compare pull force with the Comp trigger. To his astonishment the trigger force required to between the Bix’N Andy Competition trigger and what he had been using was within an ounce and a half. The difference was in the inner mechanisms of each trigger. The Bix’N Andy felt effortless. With the other, it felt like he had to “overcome” something.

Conclusion
I’m glad he’s happy with the Bix’N Andy Rem 700 trigger. I’ll get the used-bin trigger back when he gets home, but he’ll acquire a brand new Bix’N Andy Remington 700 Single Stage Competition trigger from Bullet Central as soon as he relinquishes that borrowed piece.

According to TimneyUSA, starting this month (July 2023) “all Remington Model 700 rifles will come standard with Timney triggers”. Remington’s Alpha 1 and Police Rem 700s will come with the Timney Elite Hunter trigger while ALL other new Rem 700 rifle models will ship with Timney’s new Impact 700 trigger.

The impressive Impact 700 trigger is the newest trigger in Timney’s extensive line of Remington 700 triggers. American-made by skilled craftsman, these Impact triggers enhance Remington production rifles and are a good choice when purchased separately for a Rem-clone rifle.

Timney fabricates the new Impact trigger the right way — parts are machined from billet steel. There’s no skimping with metal injection molding, rolled, or stamped parts. Timney hand-assembles, tests, and calibrates each Impact trigger. Yet they are offered at a very affordable price: $124.99 MSRP.

This new trigger has a factory set pull weight of 3 – 4 pounds (non-adjustable) that provides a crisp, clean break. This new Impact trigger features Timney’s Sear Engagement Adjustment Lock design (SEAL’d) for consistent performance.

The Impact 700 is the next evolution for a quality, drop-in replacement trigger for the iconic Remington Model 700 rifle. This Timney Impact trigger makes a Remington 700 production rifle more desirable than ever before, as the Rem 700 series now boasts one of the best triggers you can get on a factory rifle. This new Impact trigger is also a very good, affordable option for Rem-clone rifle owners.

Timney states: “Timney was asked to provide a Timney 700 Replacement Trigger that does not compromise on quality. Timney listened. Timney delivered.”
