Unleashing Precision: The TriggerTech Special Two-Stage Flat Trigger for Remington 700

For serious shooters, hunters, and precision rifle enthusiasts, the trigger is the ultimate interface between shooter and firearm. It's the critical link that translates intent into a precise shot. If you're looking to elevate the performance of your iconic Remington 700, the TriggerTech Special Two-Stage Flat Trigger (UPC: 885768001779) stands as a paramount upgrade. This isn't just a replacement part; it's a meticulously engineered precision instrument designed to eliminate uncertainty, enhance safety, and unlock the full accuracy potential of your rifle.

Why is a Premium Trigger Essential for Your Remington 700?

Many factory triggers, while functional, often leave much to be desired in terms of crispness, consistency, and adjustability. Issues like excessive creep, heavy pull weights, and an unpredictable break can significantly hinder accuracy, leading to flinching, missed shots, and frustration. The TriggerTech Special Two-Stage Flat Trigger solves these problems by providing a truly exceptional shooting experience. It's built for those who demand ultimate control and reliability from their rifle, whether on the range, in competition, or in the field.

What Problem Does the TriggerTech Special Trigger Solve?

• Inconsistent Shot Break: Factory triggers often have a "gritty" feel or an unpredictable break point, making it difficult to anticipate the shot. The TriggerTech Special eliminates this with its renowned zero-creep break.
• Compromised Accuracy: A poor trigger can lead to pulling shots off target or flinching, directly impacting group size and shot placement. This trigger ensures a clean, repeatable release, maximizing your rifle's inherent accuracy.
• Limited Adjustability: Standard triggers rarely offer the fine-tuning options needed for different shooting disciplines or personal preferences. The TriggerTech Special provides tactile pull weight adjustment for both stages, allowing you to tailor the feel precisely.
• Safety Concerns: While reliable, some older trigger designs might not incorporate the most advanced safety features. TriggerTech integrates a robust Four Points of Safety system, offering unparalleled security.
• Ergonomic Discomfort: The traditional curved trigger can feel less consistent for some shooters, especially under different hand positions. The flat trigger shoe design offers a more uniform and ergonomic interface, often perceived as a lighter pull.

Understanding the Masterpiece: Key Technologies and Features

The TriggerTech Special Two-Stage Flat Trigger is a testament to advanced engineering, featuring technologies that set it apart in the market.

1. The Refined Two-Stage Experience:

For many precision shooters, the two-stage trigger is the gold standard, offering a distinct advantage over single-stage designs. Here's how it elevates your shooting:

• The First Stage (Take-Up): This is the initial, lighter movement of the trigger before you encounter resistance. It allows the shooter to achieve proper sight alignment and breathing control without the immediate pressure of the shot breaking. The TriggerTech Special provides a smooth, consistent take-up, allowing you to settle into your shot.
• The Second Stage (The Wall & Break): After the first stage, you reach a firm "wall" – a clear point of resistance. This is where the shooter applies the final, controlled pressure. The TriggerTech excels here with its famous "zero-creep" break. Once you apply enough force past the wall, the firing pin releases instantly and cleanly, without any additional movement or grit. This predictable, crisp break is crucial for eliminating flinch and ensuring precise shot placement.
• Benefits: The two-stage design provides a psychological advantage, allowing for a more deliberate and controlled shot process. It's particularly favored in precision shooting disciplines, hunting, and tactical applications where a controlled, surprise break is paramount for accuracy.

2. Frictionless Release Technology™ (FRT™): The Heart of Zero-Creep

At the core of TriggerTech's legendary performance is its patented Frictionless Release Technology. Unlike traditional triggers that rely on sliding friction between the sear and the firing pin block (which can cause creep and inconsistency), FRT utilizes a free-floating roller.

• How it Works: Instead of a sliding interaction, the sear and the firing pin block engage via a hardened 440C stainless steel roller. This innovative design eliminates all sliding friction between the contacting surfaces.
• The Outcome: The result is a truly zero-creep break. There's no perceptible movement or "grittiness" before the trigger breaks. This translates directly to a more predictable, consistent, and accurate shot, shot after shot. Shooters experience an immediate, clean break, significantly reducing the chances of pulling or pushing shots off target.

3. Tactile Pull Weight Adjustment (1-3.5 lbs): Tailored to Your Needs

The TriggerTech Special allows for highly precise and tactile pull weight adjustment, ranging from a light 1 lb to a more robust 3.5 lbs. This wide range caters to various shooting preferences and applications.

• Ease of Adjustment: Adjusting the pull weight is straightforward, often requiring minimal tools and no disassembly of the trigger itself. The "tactile" feedback means you can feel the clicks as you adjust, providing confidence in your setting.
• Versatility:
  • Light Settings (1-2 lbs): Ideal for precision target shooting, bench rest, and competitive shooting where every ounce of pull weight matters for consistency.
  • Heavier Settings (2.5-3.5 lbs): Preferred by many hunters or for tactical applications where a slightly heavier, yet still crisp, pull might be safer or more practical in challenging conditions.

4. The Advanced Four Points of Safety System:

Safety is paramount, and TriggerTech integrates a comprehensive safety system into its design, offering peace of mind:

• Patented T-Handle Safety: An intuitive, positive-engaging safety lever.
• Anti-Flinch Safety: Designed to prevent accidental discharge from sudden movements.
• Roller Safety: Integral to the FRT, preventing the trigger from breaking until the proper forces are applied.
• Sear Engagement Safety: Ensures proper sear engagement for safe operation.

This multi-faceted safety approach ensures that the rifle will only fire when intentionally discharged, providing an extremely reliable and secure shooting platform.

5. Robust Construction: Built for a Lifetime of Performance

Durability and reliability are non-negotiable for a premium firearm component. The TriggerTech Special is built from the highest quality materials:

• 7075-T6 Aluminum Housing: This aerospace-grade aluminum is known for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance, ensuring the trigger housing is both light and incredibly tough.
• 440C Stainless Steel Internals: Critical components like the sear and roller are made from hardened 440C stainless steel, providing extreme wear resistance and maintaining precision over countless cycles.
• Matte Gray with Black Parts Finish: A durable and aesthetically pleasing finish that complements most Remington 700 rifle builds.

6. Flat Trigger Shoe Design:

While often considered a matter of personal preference, the flat trigger shoe offers distinct advantages for many shooters:

• Consistent Finger Placement: The flat surface provides a larger, more consistent contact area for the finger, leading to more repeatable trigger pulls.
• Perceived Lighter Pull: Due to the leverage created by the flat surface, many shooters perceive a flat trigger to feel lighter than a curved one at the same measured pull weight.
• Enhanced Control: The increased surface area can lead to a more controlled and stable pull, especially during precision shots.

Frequently Asked Questions for Remington 700 Trigger Upgrades:

• "What is the best trigger upgrade for a Remington 700?"

  The TriggerTech Special Two-Stage Flat Trigger is consistently ranked among the top choices for Remington 700 owners due to its patented Frictionless Release Technology, zero-creep break, and robust safety features. Its precision and reliability are unmatched.

• "How does a two-stage trigger improve accuracy?"

  A two-stage trigger allows for a deliberate take-up (first stage) before hitting a clear "wall" (second stage). This provides time for the shooter to finalize aim and breathing without anticipating the shot break, leading to a more controlled and surprise break, which is essential for accuracy. The zero-creep break of the TriggerTech enhances this further.

• "Is a lighter trigger safe for hunting or tactical use?"

  While lighter triggers require more disciplined handling, the TriggerTech Special incorporates an advanced Four Points of Safety system, ensuring inherent safety. For hunting, many prefer a slightly heavier pull (e.g., 2.5-3.5 lbs) for added security, which is well within this trigger's adjustable range. Always practice safe firearm handling regardless of trigger pull weight.

• "What does 'zero-creep' mean and why is it important?"

  Zero-creep means there is absolutely no perceptible movement or "grittiness" in the trigger pull after you hit the "wall" and before the shot breaks. The TriggerTech achieves this with its Frictionless Release Technology. This is critical for accuracy because any creep can cause the shooter to anticipate the shot, leading to a flinch or movement that pulls the shot off target. A clean, instantaneous break ensures the bullet leaves the barrel precisely where the sights were aligned.

• "Is the TriggerTech Special a drop-in installation for the Remington 700?"

  Yes, the TriggerTech Special Two-Stage Flat Trigger is designed as a direct drop-in replacement for the Remington 700 action (right-hand configuration). While installation is straightforward for those with basic gunsmithing knowledge, professional installation is always recommended if you are unsure.
