Description
The factory Remington 700 trigger is fine for general use, but it holds a lot of shooters back once they start chasing real accuracy. The TriggerTech Primary Flat fixes that with a genuine zero-creep break and an extremely short over-travel, so the moment you feel the wall, the shot breaks clean. That flat trigger shoe is noticeably wider than the factory piece and gives your finger a consistent, repeatable contact point every time, which is a big part of why so many folks say their groups tighten up right after the swap.
What Sets the Primary Flat Apart
The secret is TriggerTech's Frictionless Release Technology, which uses a free-floating roller between the sear and trigger instead of two surfaces sliding against each other. Because it doesn't rely on polished, coated, or lubricated engagement surfaces, the break stays consistent shot after shot, even after thousands of rounds. It's also why many shooters report the pull feeling around a half pound lighter than a friction-based trigger set to the same measured weight. The internals are hardened 440C stainless steel inside a 7075 aluminum housing, so corrosion resistance and long service life come standard, and it holds up in nasty weather and dusty range days alike.
Dialing In Your Pull Weight
Thanks to CLKR Technology, you adjust the pull weight from 1.5 to 4 pounds in 1 oz increments using an externally accessible set screw. There's no need to remove the trigger or fully strip your rifle to fine-tune the feel. Set it light for benchrest and long-range work, or bump it up a touch for a hunting rifle you'll be handling with cold hands and gloves.
Fitting It to Your Rem 700
This is a right-handed, bolt-release model that drops straight into a standard Remington 700 action, and installation is one of the reasons TriggerTech stays so popular. Most anyone comfortable pushing out a couple of pins and reassembling their rifle can handle it. Just remember the short pin goes in front and the long pin goes in the rear, since it also passes through the bolt lock piece. If you're not comfortable working inside your action, any competent gunsmith can knock it out quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the TriggerTech Primary Flat fit my Remington 700?
Yes, this is a drop-in trigger built for right-handed, standard Remington 700 actions with a bolt release. It fits genuine Remington 700 rifles, and this specific bolt-release version is the right pick for factory 700 receivers rather than clone actions that use a side bolt release. If you have a left-handed action or a clone, you'll want a different variant.
How do I adjust the pull weight on this trigger?
The Primary uses CLKR Technology, so you set the pull weight with an externally accessible set screw. You can move it anywhere from 1.5 to 4 pounds in 1 oz increments without removing the trigger from the rifle. That makes it easy to fine-tune the feel for hunting or precision shooting whenever you like.
What's the difference between the flat and curved trigger shoe?
It mainly comes down to feel and preference. The flat, straight shoe gives you a consistent contact point and a more vertical finger pull that a lot of precision shooters prefer, while the curved shoe follows the traditional 700 profile. Both break the same thanks to the Frictionless Release Technology, so pick whichever feels better under your finger.
Is the TriggerTech Primary hard to install?
Not for most folks who are comfortable working on their rifle. It's a true drop-in with no fitting required, and it comes with the tools and instructions you need. The key detail is pin orientation: the short pin goes in front and the longer pin goes in the rear since it passes through the bolt lock piece. If you'd rather not do it yourself, a gunsmith can install it in a few minutes.
