[QUOTE="marksman1941, post: 809263, member: 68542"] Hey all. First off, I'm new here so forgive me if I violate any unspoken rules of the forum. I have a Remington 700 sps tactical in 308 that has the x-mark pro trigger in it. Now, supposedly these trigger are adjustable and ought to drop to around 3-3.5 lbs. The trigger I have does not change a bit when you move the adjustment screw in or out. I seriously have the screw sitting on my workbench right now, the gun is back together, and I cannot feel a difference in the pull weight. I don't have a scale, but I'm used to a 2lb trigger on my muzzleloader and this 308 feels like its around 6. With the adjustment screw out, it still cocks and doesn't fail a drop test. I'm not sure if there is anything a guy can do to make this trigger decent. At some point I'm going to buy an aftermarket trigger. I've been told that Jewell is the way to go, but I can't fork out $220 for a trigger right now. Is a Timney still a good trigger? I can snag one of those for about $135. [/QUOTE]
