I dont have a problem with the standard Remington trigger, never saw the need to spend the money on aftermarket triggers when the factory trigger can be tweaked a bit, resulting in a great trigger. However, the old style bolt locking safetys can be used with several of the aftermarket triggers as well, if one does not trust the factory trigger.

I think it is a real shame that Remington did away with the bolt lock safety, and have converted all my 700s to lock, except a couple that are mostly used for varmints.
