Yes I took it to Williams gun site. And they put in the replacement trigger for $97 bucks while I waited.  But whats really bad this 700 wasn't in the time frame for the recalled triggers. So I have now replaced 2 of my 4 Remington 700's I'm worried they all should be replaced.  I will have to go online and look into this more. I bought my boys each one for graduation too.

The trigger is definitely failing.  Firing pin fired as soon as the safety moves to fire. I would have used 3 pellets the last time. Do get a deep hole poked in it.

I took my Remington model 700 ML to the range just to chronograph the muzzle  velocity to compare with the 450 bushmaster.  Shooting the same bullet.  With 3 pellets 150 grains  of win triple 7 It  just went over 2000 fps. Compared to the 450 BM at 2200. I have the chance to hunt lower MI farm land wich is shotgun only or certain straight wall cartridges. But I thought I'd see if my ML can equal the 450 BM it would be good enough.
But my first shot seemed to go off instantly. I wasn't sure what happened. I have never had it happen to me. And I have owned this ML for 25 years and never touched the trigger. So I reloaded it and it went off with very little trigger pressure.  The 3rd shot went of as soon as I flipped off the safety.  That was enough.  In tearing it down now to see if the trigger has some corrosion build up. But I don't see any. But I will test it as soon as I put the bolt back together.  Needles to say A Bagara Ridge rifle in 450 BM is in my future.  I wish Weatherby made one in there Vanguard line.

Wow I just Googled MI  we are over populated with 2 Million deer. But a very High die population.  The DNR is pushing the taking of does .

I hunt near or in cedar swamps in Northern MI
My MI Deer Rifles are a pair of Browing Bar's in 30-06  and as of last year 165 gr Barnes TTSX
My original Mark II sees little action the last 3 years when I bought my new black synthetic Mark III for hunting from tree stands. It has a better scope to boot. I like 30mm 2x7 with the red dot in the cross hairs. My shots are mostly close and in cover.

Thanks BB I won't hesitate to try the 760 if the others don't measure up !

Thank you All
I went with the IMR 4895. If none of these shoot better than factory.  I will have him spring for a lb of IMR 4064.
Thanks again.

I'm loading some test rounds for a freind.
Who bought a Browing x bolt in .308
I am loading 165 gr. Accubonds. But I don't have alot of powders that work well on the .308
I have loaded some with RL 15 and Varget.
But I was wanting to try a couple more.
Imr 4350 seems to have very slow velocity.
Other powders I have for it are. IMR 4895 / H 380 / H 335 / benchmark  / win 760
If anyone can recommend a good loading with those powders. Please let me know.
Thank you

Mike what model are you looking at ?
I have had a couple 28 gauge shot guns. My first was a 870 wingmaster with a 25 " Full choke.
It was my Squirrel gun as I always seemed to flush Grouse while Squirrel hunting. Then I had a sxs noble. It was a very nice bird gun and I regret selling it. They are noticeably lighter than a 20 gauge.  I'm sure you will love it. With all the bird hunting you do.

Grouch what model is your 1966 Buck knife ?
It looks alot like my buck 105 Pathfinder. Which I bought in the early 1980's and carry it on every hunt.

To Bad they only showed him taking a few shots smoking a pair of doubles.
But Vincent Hancock won his 4th straight Olympic Gold medal in sheet today.
And a fellow Texan won the Silver. Good Job guys !!
