30plus year old Rem Mountain Rifle and need to replace trigger. On hunting rifle I like a 3.5 to 4 lb pull. Any recommendations for after market triggers? I have had Rifle Basix but am not overly fond of those.

I have had good luck with Trigger Tech triggers.
Is there something wrong with the factory trigger?

Besides that it’s a Remington 700 trigger?
Yes, besides that. We've had a lot of factory Remington triggers in our family since the sixties and as long as they were adjusted correctly and kept clean & lubed, never had a problem with any of them.

...and the Remington triggers when adjusted correctly, give a real clean break.

There was that big class action lawsuit that allege that the 700 trigger design was known to be faulty and allowed for firing even while on safe. They came out with that new sucky factory trigger after that.

My dad shot his truck with one of those old triggers. It wasn’t the designs fault, rather 30 years of gunk built up in it.
The problem was you had to take the safety off to open the bolt. I cleaned the gunk out of his, cut the part of the safety that blocked the bolt and it’ll rival any aftermarket trigger I ever tried. Though I haven’t even looked at a 700 replacement trigger in several years.
