To answer you question, the gun is pre-06' i believe. That or close to that they went to X-mark triggers. The barrel stamping the left hand side of the gun should have two letter marks. They are production codes, one is month and the other year. Works all the way back to the early thirties if memory serves. The word BLACKPOWDERX is used for months B is January and X is December. The series of years recycles and early doubled the the letters and then went back to single letters for year.

I have a 513t that's stamped RRR it came out to Nov. of 1946.

Hope this Helps...

So I finally got some time to adjust the trigger on my 700P. The Sear engagement screw was so tight that it rounded out. So....I might be going with an aftermarket trigger. What are your opinions? What is the best trigger out there? :x

Depends on your budget and really how badly you wanna adjust it...

I can spew out a slew of trigger makers or just say go to Midwayusa or Brownell's and take your pick. But really for the money which isn't any more special than the next guy, two choices are best.

1. take it to gunsmith he'll charge $120, fix your trigger and adjust to what you want and if you've never dicked around with triggers have a little to no idea of what you want your better off. Smith with set it and be done, original equipment blah blah blah. He won't charge more than a trigger ordered and installed yourself and if he does then you know what to tell him...

2. This is what I do and this is why, Go to Midwayusa or if you can get it cheaper go elsewhere but get a rifle basix trigger. They are fairly simple to install, even though the instructions are a little vague. Take your time and carefully remove the factory trigger,paying attention to how everything works. Installation is exactly the same in reverse. It'll be tricky but once you get the hang of it, you'll be doing to all your guns and it'll take 15min or so, the first time try more like 30min.

When all is done check to make sure the safety lever clears in the stock, had a few stick on me and had to relieve the stock with a dremel, no big deal, just a little mod inside that nobody will ever see or notice. Also check for the bolt release to make sure it functions properly. Set the HS Precision "P" stock back on and tighten the lugs, one guy told me to seat it in there then stand it up on the butt and apply a little "downward" pressure to make sure everything is squared up. Torque HS stocks using 60in/pds, this is important, I've done this and it reliably holds the recieverand it's amazingly repeatable. If you're into HS stocks buy a 60in/pd "T" handle that HS recommends and it'll make your stock installs much easier.

The rifle basix triggers come in several weight ranges and are adjustable the one I always buy is the 1lb-3lbs and comes preset at 2lbs. It's great for prairie dogs and not too light for field work. The only negative to this and I have no way to answer why it happens but if you order one through Midway, they may send you a stainless trigger or a black one. I have a tactical gun right now with a lightning rod of a trigger, but fuck it, it's mine and I don't sweat small stuff.

You can spend all kinds of money on triggers but like I said if you have no previous experience with trigger work, then this is a great start.

Hope this helps :hello:

Rifle basix is a start...

Timney is a finish. ;)

Thanks for the suggestions. I consider myself mechanically inclined, Im not worried about installing one. I have been looking at Timney and Rifle Basix, just wondered what other peoples thoughts were on adjustability and quality. Guess there's only one way to find that out for myself. :thumbsup:

For specifics - I like the width, and over-all "feel" of the timney better than RB. I have both.

Can I ask a few questions?
What is your plans for this rifle with a 26 inch barrel?
Hunting from stationary position?
Target shooting?
Special teams ?
Varmits?

Once we know what it is to be used for allows for a better answer on optics and trigger. :sniperdark:

I've got plenty of guns for hunting, this rifle will primarily be used for shooting paper/targets. Maybe the occasional long distance shot on an unexpecting deer.
