Same trigger, yes, but there is some fitting required. The safety will have to be bent out to clear the receiver tang and the wood relieved for the trigger body. The trigger shoe itself may be too wide and long for the bottom metal and trigger guard so more fitting there.
@@tymz-r-achangin All of the aftermarket triggers available for that model are based on the Rem 700, so all will have the same basic fitting requirements.
@@BTORange Thanks again. I was going to buy an after market trigger for my recently-purchased 721 but now after doing a bit more research, it's looking like doesnt have the trigger problem which the 700 series has. Can you tell me your thoughts on that?
@@tymz-r-achangin The 721 is the same basic design on the trigger, so yes it may develop the same issues. That said, the issue is not the trigger, it's the owner. The 700 "Walker" trigger is a good trigger. Just keep it clean, free from oil and gunk, and don't let Bubba try to adjust it. Thousands and thousands of Remington rifles are doing just fine. Now, if you buy a gun used you really don't know what has or has not been done with the trigger prior to you so having an actual gunsmith go through it is probably wise. The Timney is a better trigger, user-adjustable with a crisp break and it is not terribly difficult to install in a 721 provided you take your time and leave the Dremel tool alone.
Great video. Wish I would have known about you guys when I lived in Conroe and Huntsville while working at the wynne unit..
thank you for the demo.👍
Is it the same trigger and process for a 1952 Remington 721 ?

Thank you for the quick reply and information.
So is there a better trigger whereby doesnt require as much customizing to make it fit

Timney elite hunter is a must on a Remington 700. Factory trigger sucks!
