I have replaced the trigger and the firing pin with a calahan unit from Midway USA. I did this to get rid of that stupid lawyer proof J-lock. But it improved trigger pull and break as well.

For the trigger I went with a Timney and have it adjusted down to 1.5#

I think I too am going to free float the barrel.

In a year or two I am going to rebarrel mine from the 223 it is to a 223 AI with a SS Kreiger barrel with a 1:8" twist. While the barrel is off I am going to have my smith true up the action as well to improve accuracy as well. I might even switch to a Jewell 1.5 to 8oz trigger at that time. I would not recommend anyone do this on a rifle that will be carried in the field as this can be vary dangerous.

Many things you do to a remmy 700 can be done at home. I replaced and adjusted my trigger at home in my shop. It takes a few basic tools and reading the directions that you can find on the net.
