[QUOTE="whitely, post: 201134, member: 5167"] The screw set up is just like the older style triggers, so the pull weight is adjusted by the lower screw in the front of the trigger. Both the overtravel and sear adjustment screws are coated (I should say entombed) in some epoxy like substance. I would try adjusting the screw out a little to see if you can get it down to a safe level, that you like. I was able to get the x-mark pro on my 700 down to 3 lbs, and it passed all the safety tests. The issue with adjusting these triggers down to ~2 pounds, is that the trigger spring is relatively short, and as the adjustment screw is backed out, you may find there is not enough pressure on the trigger to return it to a safe position, consistently so there is adequate sear engagement. On the old style remington triggers, you could buy a screw kit from Holland Guns (via Midway for example) that would drop in and allow a nice, light trigger pull with a longer/lighter trigger spring. There is a guy selling springs on ebay for the new style x-mark pro triggers, that purports to do the same thing. [/QUOTE]
