[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 330108, member: 11717"] I tuned the triggers (old Rem style) on both of my Senderos to what I "guess" is about 1.5 lbs and I like them. If you google Rem tigger adjustment you'll find a few sites describing this process. Read several of them to get a good overall view. Basically this is the way I did it after some trial and error. There are three screws. 1) The tension screw which controls the amount of force needed to break the trigger. 2) The over travel screw and 3) the sear engagement screw which controls the creep of the trigger. First, you need to remove the epoxy from the screw heads which I did with a small flathead screwdriver. Next, adjust the tension screw until you get the pull wieght you like. Next, with firning pin cocked, screw the sear engagement screw in very slowley until the trigger breaks, then screw it back out about a qurter of a turn and cock the trigger again. Some sites will tell you to turn the sear screw back about a half turn. But I found that was way too much with my triggers. An eight turn worked perfectly, but yours may be different. NOTE: VERY IMPORTAANT TO GET THIS RIGHT TO AVOID AN INADVERTANT DISCHARGE. OK... now break the trigger slowly to see if there is any creep. If there is creep then turn the sear engagement screw bcakin very slightly and test again. If the trigger breaks when cock and close the bolt, then you need to screw the sear screw out a little more. Once you have acomplished this, check the weight of your trigger pull again to make sure it is still where you like it. You may have to go back an forht between the tension screw and the sear screw a couple of times to get it right. Once everything feels good, perform a couple of safety checks. Open and salm the bolt closed several times to make sure the firing pin doesn't fire from this action. Then, cock the firning pin and put the safety on and try to fire it with a good bit of force on the trigger. Do this several times. Next, screw the over travel screw in until you can not break the trigger. Then unscrew to the point where you can just barely break the trigger. Open and close the bolt several times and test the trigger until you have this adjusment just right. Then do your safety checks again. When you are happy with everything, it would be a good idea to put smoe nail polish or other hardening substance on the screw heads to keep them from moving. I would not recommend a real strong epoxy. Here are a couple of sites...
