I do not believe tht there is a time limit as to when the gun was produced. This goes back to when the 700 series was introduced. If you gunserial number is listed you get a new trigger free of cost. Mine had the newer X Mark Pro trigger and it was on the list as was a guys X MarkPro from work. The recall spans the full timeline of the Model 700 series and several different rigger designs. Sorry but I am not fully versed as to why more than one trigger assemly is affected.
I did not want to send my gun in and have it gone for ????????? getting a free trigger from Reminton so I put an aftermarket trigger in that is well rated. Was gonna put in a Jewel but some say they do not handle the grime of being in the field as well as a Timmney. A Jewel is supposedly a better bench trigger though. The Timney is every bit as crisp as the orginal Remington trigger and can be set down to a lighter pull but not as light as a Jewel can be set.
Have tried many different triggers, jewel is the best and reliable. Use it on my long range rifle. The rifle gets used alot and dragged everywhere, and no issues with trigger system. Once you go to a Jewel you will determine the rest of the triggers to be garbage. I have some timney triggers on tree stand rifles which is what they still work ok for. The jewel gives so much adjustablity and breaks like glass.
