He'd really be disgruntled to find out what I got into my 6.5/06 AI.... Bought a m-4 stag for 5 bills, traded it for a brand new a-5 rem/sendero inlet along with a sps 06 with a 4-12 leupold with rings and bases to boot... Came out aight o. That one too... Dig my "connections"....

No Sir, I won't sell my triggers for $35.  Others do but I'll leave mine sitting collecting dust for that amount.  But, I'll gladly sell them untuned, as is, for $90. 

You didn't mention you were tuning them before you sold them and since most charge $50 to tune a Rem trigger, you're basically only getting $35-$40 for just the trigger, too.  As well as you're assuming a lot of liability selling a trigger you worked on.  I'm sure you do a fine job of tuning but that's more liability than I'd want to assume for that little money.

Selling things on Ebay is about the same as how ole Forrest's momma used to explain to him how life was like a box of chocolates, you never know what ya gonna get.

Lots of ways to go about it if you know where to look and where to push it.👍

10-4 Landon! I prefer to be patient, and part em out. Done right a guy can have around $100 into a remmy action leaving more $$ for a good stock, Jewell trigger , glass or even some outta state tags to try er out on.. If a $800-$1500 action horns ya up then by all means go ahead on er! I'm sure you'll be happy!

It was like taking candy from a baby when Bi-Mart was selling the Rem700 synthetic SPS's with the cheap scope package. 325.00 with a 50.00 factory rebate. Dump the scope, rings, stock and ADL box and follower and you were into a short or long action cheap and that was for a new action.

I've handled quite a few custom builds on 700s that I wasn't impressed with the slickness of the action.  The only custom I've had that wasn't impressive was Stiller, twice.  If I'm spending my sheckels for a build, I don't want it to feel like its got sand in the action.

My advice, if you're knowledgeable enough, is to buy used.
