[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 927120, member: 229"] The above instructions and tips apply only to non X-Mark/X-Mark Pro triggers (the good Remington triggers). [U]If you own an X-Mark style trigger, do not adjust it![/U] They are set from the factory at about 4Lbs and there is a magic point somewhere around 3.5Lbs that once adjusted there, they become very inconsistent and start to "wear out". You'll notice that your creep/overtravel gets worse and worse and it will eventually fail if you continue using it. Look it up - there is tons of info about this online - also, if you adjust it below 3Lbs and have to send your rifle back, expect a new trigger to be in it and if you didn't replace their factory "don't mess with the trigger" red goop in the adjustment screw-head, you'll get a bill for the price of a new trigger (the story I've heard is that Remington will not send a rifle back to you with a factory X-Mark trigger adjusted below some magic number of 3-3.5Lbs). Several folks have attempted to figure out why the new trigger design fails at this specific point but no one appears to know. If you're looking for a cheap upgrade, try and find someone who isn't gouging on an old-style factory Remington trigger - they can be adjusted very easily with the above instructions and are good triggers.
