Trigger Tech Problem

[docmark]

I recently purchased a Trigger Tech Trigger for an early 70s model 700 Remington 270 cal. Everything went well as far as installing. I tested everything before replacing the stock and all was perfect. I installed the the front action screw and the rear action screw. When I installed the front trigger guard screw with the rifle cocked and safety off the rifle fires. It is repeatable and all works well when this screw is removed. I cannot see nor figure out why this would be happening. Any help is appreciated. Thank you-

Not a gunsmith..i kinda recall an issue like that....but want to guess here..release the rear screw some...then put the front guard screw in place....does it work correctly....like I said..guessing....

Check to see if Your trigger shoe is contacting the trigger guard and making it go off when you tighten the screw - just ran into this last week.

If the bedding (or lug) isn't square the wide body of the Triggertech can contact the trigger guard. Might check for contact there. Safety levers can also bind up. Not saying that's your problem, just things I've seen.

Just poor bedding of metal to stock can mess with a light trigger. Them darned black plastic things that Rem calls a stock are some of the worst.

Most likely a stress free bedding job will fix it.

Mine is a custom stock..same situation as North Idaho Hunter...cant bed the rifle up or trigger guard down...grind that trigger a little..give enough clearance...works perfect
