    howa 1500 action and trigger?

    I recentley purchased a very accurate howa 300win.The salesman said it was a rem.700 action and trigger but, for other reasons since, I need a second opinion. If it is a rem.700 is adjusting the trigger something I can do?The closest gunsmith is 76 miles away.
