There’s one for sale, oddly enough.
I’ve been aware of the claims against Remington triggers since the seventies.
Did you ever clean it real good then lube and adjust it? We had the same trigger in several Remington 700s, 600s, 660s and Mohawks. I don’t recall if the 788s had the same trigger or not. I learned in my teens how to clean and adjust the triggers and no one in the family ever had trouble with one afterward. I did replace one Remington trigger with a Timney. It’s a good trigger, but didn’t get me anything the Remington trigger didn’t already have. When all is said and done, I’m convinced the suit against Remington was a hatchet job.
If I were to replace a Remington trigger, I’d look at the Geissele two stage for the 700. I haven’t shot it, but did get a chance to dry fire it at their booth and liked how it felt. Crisp break with almost zero creep and overtravel. I don’t remember if it’s adjustable.
