Description
The TriggerTech R700 Primary is the trigger a lot of folks reach for when they want their Remington 700 clone action to feel like a custom build without sending anything off to a gunsmith. This is the curved-lever, clean (no bolt release) version made for right-handed 700-pattern actions, and it drops straight in. What sets TriggerTech apart is their Frictionless Release Technology, which uses a free-floating roller between the sear and the trigger instead of two flat surfaces dragging against each other. The result is a true zero-creep break with almost no over-travel, and it stays that way shot after shot.
What the R700 Primary Actually Feels Like on the Range
Because the break is so clean, most people report the pull feeling around half a pound lighter than a friction-based trigger set to the same measured weight. That crispness is what you notice first, whether you're ringing steel at distance or holding for a precise shot in the field. It's a genuine difference you feel the moment you take the first shot.
Dialing In Your Primary Trigger Pull Weight
Adjustment is where this one really earns its keep. Using TriggerTech's CLKR system, you can set pull weight anywhere from 1.5 to 4.0 pounds in one-ounce increments, all from an externally accessible set screw. No pulling the barreled action out of the stock, no guesswork. Just click it to where you want and go.
Built for the Long Haul
The housing is 7075 anodized aluminum and the key internal components are hardened 440C stainless steel, so corrosion resistance and service life are handled. Because the frictionless design doesn't depend on coatings, polishing, or lube on the engagement surfaces, your trigger pull stays consistent even after thousands of rounds. This clone version is built for 700-pattern actions that don't use a factory bolt release, and the all-black PVD trigger and housing give it a clean, understated look that matches just about any build. It's a favorite for precision, competition, hunting, and varmint setups alike.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the R700 Primary fit my rifle if it isn't a factory Remington 700?
This is the clone version, built for Remington 700-pattern actions that do not use a factory bolt release, so the bolt release is handled by the receiver itself. It's a right-handed, drop-in design that fits both short and long 700-style actions. If your action uses the original Remington factory bolt release, you'd want the factory version instead.
How do I adjust the pull weight on the TriggerTech Primary?
The Primary uses TriggerTech's CLKR system, which lets you adjust pull weight from 1.5 to 4.0 pounds in one-ounce clicks. You do it through an externally accessible set screw, so there's no need to pull the barreled action out of the stock. It's quick, repeatable, and easy to fine-tune to your preference.
What's the difference between the Primary and the Special?
The Primary is TriggerTech's all-around single-stage model and covers the needs of most hunters and precision shooters right out of the box. The Special is the step-up version that offers a wider, lighter adjustment range for folks who want to go below the Primary's floor. Both share the same zero-creep frictionless break, so the Primary is plenty of trigger for the vast majority of builds.
Do I need a gunsmith to install this trigger?
No, the R700 Primary is a true drop-in replacement, and most people can swap it in at home with basic tools. It comes with the needed installation tools and an instruction manual to walk you through it. Reviewers consistently mention how straightforward the install and adjustment process is.
