[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1218348, member: 12995"] You just need someone to adjust it that truly knows what the hell they're doing. All of mine are old Rem/Walker triggers, and they break like glass. The new X-mark triggers are junk, throw them in the trash or give it away. All of mine pass the drop-test and I tune them myself. I won't use an unsafe trigger. Those triggers only got a bad name because of that stupid anti-gun episode of 20/20 where they tried to make Mike Walker and Remington look like the bad guys, when the root-cause of the problem was backyard-gunsmithing, poor gun handling skills, and pure negligence on the owner's part. People who don't know what they're doing just twisting screws around until it starts working sort-of correct. And that's how people get hurt. There is an order, and each of the 3 screws has a purpose. And you have to know what each one does, and how they are supposed to be adjusted and at what level they are safe. Adjust one of them too far and you got a potential danger. If you want to replace the trigger to help regain some confidence in them, which is entirely up to you since it's your gun, Timney and Jewell are the top 2 options. I like both, but for the money, I really prefer the Timneys. [/QUOTE]
