[QUOTE="kc0pph, post: 534241, member: 35934"] Well I have a 700BDL in .270 Win and just recently i tweaked the trigger myself and have made it feel like a Jewel. I was able to take out ALL of the creep, all of the backlash and make it a very crisp clean break. Here is what i did (I wont get into the basics as that is everywhere on the net). 1) I decided if i messed it up i would buy a new trigger, if it ever failed on me i would get a new trigger. 2) Take out all of the pins and screws out of the trigger housing (Watch out for the little one on top under the Sear (I think it is called). 3) Pull the safety off, and shake the assembly all the parts will fall out. On the physical trigger (this is most important i think) polish (I used an arkansaw stone) it until it is perfectly smooth (Its beveled a little bit but mine works fine). 3) Polish the rest of the parts, anywhere where parts may rub needs to be polished with the stone. 4) Get a cloth brush of .17cal (.22 works but is tight) and using FINE!!! polishing compound and your fancy drill polish the inside until it is shiny. 5) Using Soap and water wash everything very well, i even used Q-tips in the interior of the assembly. 6) Let dry, then re blue everything using the store bought cold blue 7) re assemble 8) play with the screws as everyone else tells you to do to get it the way you want. Now comes the important part. TESTING! Slam the bolt forward hard , does it drop the firing pin? (If so you need to re adjust) Ease the bolt forward Safety On Pull trigger safety off rest finger on trigger as if you were going to fire rough handle the rifle By rough handle i mean drop from about 6" onto carpet on butt plate, and also on side. Spend a few hours doing this if it ever fails then re adjust. Now the next important part: I am going to discourage you from doing this Unless you are willing to buy a new trigger if this one goes bad. Also you need to spend months of shooting where you only chamber when you are ready to shoot. You can never be too careful and remmington sure does not like people messing with the screws, and i say take the whole **** thing apart. I was able to get 1/3# clean trigger using this method. Mine is set for 3# currently. [/QUOTE]
