Description
The TriggerTech Rem 700 Special is the trigger a lot of Remington 700 owners wish came from the factory. It replaces your stock trigger group as a self-contained drop-in unit, so there are no loose pins or springs to fumble with during the swap. What sets it apart is Frictionless Release Technology, which uses a free-rolling element instead of two surfaces sliding against each other. That means the break stays crisp and repeatable shot after shot, and because there's no creep working against you, most folks report the pull feeling about half a pound lighter than a friction-based trigger of the same measured weight.
What Makes the Rem 700 Special Different
This is the step up from the Primary model, adding some extra hand refinements for a cleaner feel. Pull weight adjusts externally from 1 to 3.5 pounds in roughly one-ounce clicks using a single accessible set screw, so you can fine-tune your break without pulling the barreled action apart. Overtravel comes in under 0.015 inches, and the reset is short and positive, which helps keep your follow-up shots on target. This particular model has a traditional curved lever, is set up for right-handed actions, and ships without the bolt release feature.
Built to Hold Up in the Field
TriggerTech built the Special to survive real hunting and range conditions. The housing is 7075 aluminum, the internal components are hardened 440C stainless steel, and the external parts wear a durable PVD black finish. That combination shrugs off corrosion and keeps performing after thousands of rounds, whether you're sitting in a wet deer blind or grinding through a long precision session.
Installing the Rem 700 Special
Installation is about as simple as trigger upgrades get. You knock out the factory trigger pins, drop the sealed unit in, and reinstall the pins. The integrated safety makes it essentially plug and play, and TriggerTech includes the tools and instructions you'll need. Keep in mind that pull weight can be affected by an overweight firing pin spring, so a fresh spring is worth checking if your numbers read high.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Rem 700 Special fit my rifle?
This model is built for right-handed Remington 700 bolt-action rifles and many 700-pattern clones that use the standard trigger and safety layout. It's the curved lever version without a bolt release. If your action needs a bottom safety or you're left-handed, TriggerTech makes separate models for those setups, so double-check your action before ordering.
Do I need a gunsmith to install this trigger?
No, most people install it themselves. It's a self-contained drop-in unit, so you punch out the factory trigger pins, set the new trigger in place, and reinstall the pins. The included tools and instructions walk you through it, and the integrated safety keeps it close to plug and play.
How do I adjust the pull weight on the Special?
The pull weight adjusts externally from 1 to 3.5 pounds using a single accessible set screw, moving in roughly one-ounce increments. You can tune it without fully disassembling your rifle, and many owners drill a small access hole in the stock so they can adjust without pulling the action. Keep in mind an overweight firing pin spring can push readings above the advertised range.
What is Frictionless Release and why does it matter?
Instead of two surfaces sliding against each other like a traditional trigger, TriggerTech uses a free-rolling element to release the sear. That gives you a genuinely crisp, zero-creep break that stays consistent over thousands of rounds. Because there's no drag fighting you, a lot of folks say the pull feels about half a pound lighter than a friction trigger set to the same weight.
