Hi, I too, am not impressed with the trigger on the R51. Not the action, but the particular piece itself. The plastic does look 'cheap', and it seems to set kind of high in the trigger guard for an instinctual finger feel; you kind of have to consciously keep your finger upwards, in a sense. That said, before finding this nice Forum, I came across numerous web comments castigating the Remington Company and its products. If someone doesn't like a product, just let it go. Men who have an odd personal grudge that drives them to make angry statements on line, even deriding a company president personally, have no place on educational, experience-sharing forums like this one. I like my R51, and am glad to be learning about it; any 'negative' comments are meant as 'constructive criticism'. Thanks, all.
