Remington x-mark trigger

[tomL]

The lowest trigger pull I can get is 4 lb. with the external adjustment screw on the trigger.

Can it be lowered to 3 lb?

That screw is just an adjustment prevention screw you have to take it out and use the real adjustment screw under the goop they put over top of it

Purchase/Install a Trigger Tech of your choice.

Thank me later.

Sometimes a qualified tech can rework a 700 trigger. Do it yourself is not recommended.
The above post is 'right on'.

Best thing is to take that x mark trigger and toss it in the ocean. Might as well leave the Remington attached to it as well.

I concur.

I turned the screw 1/2 a turn out and now the pull weight is 3 1/2 lb. I am happy with that. Don't want to spend more money on an after market trigger. Besides, I probably will bugger up the installation.

I keep at least one around.

While it’s the first thing I usually replace on a 700, if I’m moving between selling and acquiring another 700 it’s one less thing I have to purchase and it’s a relative simple swap. That and not everyone wants to spend the extra $$ for a TT or Timney on a used unit.

I have two Timneys that came to me on rifles that were later sold. The Timneys were both replaced with X-Marks prior to selling the rifle and are now waiting for the next assignment.

WOW Tom - your a strong Dude to PULL a 3 1/2 lb - that much trigger pull will drag a scope right off target center ! If you buy a GOOD trigger and set it to a 1.5 Lbs you prob will cut your group size in half !

I'd rather have a trigger that breaks clean at heavier weight than one that has a lot of travel at light weight of pull.

Obviously, one that breaks clean at light weight is the best of both.

Triggertech Duty or Timney Impact, this is the answer to any X-Mark Pro trigger question

All the Good Triggers like Trigger Tech Timney Rifle Basix Bix &Andy Jewel etc break clean and light
