So my boss received a recall on his Remington 700 for the trigger problem. Can the trigger be replaced with a Timeny trigger to fix the problem or is the problem in the bolt/trigger combination? Remington sent him a crappy box to return the rifle for warrenty work but he does not want to go through the process of removing the scope etc and does not mind upgrading the trigger if that would remedy the problem. What do you guys think?

Yes. A Timney/Jewell/Shilen will fix the problem.
I put a Shilen on Dad's .308 a few years back. He hadn't shot the thing in 25+ years, after the thing blew a hole in the bottom of a deer stand when he flicked off the safety to unload it. This was a gun he received as a graduation gift in 1962, had babied its' entire life, and had never had a "trigger adjustment".

I personally had a borrowed one go off, when I flipped it from safe to fire, in 1985. Fortunately, it was pointed in a safe direction.
