[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 434242, member: 24284"] Those "pre-adjusted triggers" don't work sometimes because of a condition known as "stacking of tolerances". I've never been completely satisfied with the design of the factory trigger on 700's, but, I've have not seen one release the firing pin without being tampered with, not that I have seen everything, I have not. I don't use that factory trigger because of the 'loose' condition they are usually in, not made to tight tolerances (or as tight as a good aftermarket trigger is). All one needs to do is gunsmithing work and you'll quickly see all the things people can and do to their firearms. Triggers are at the fore front. They are considered 'simple', I guess because there are adjustment screws on them. Look to any forum and you'll find several looking to adjust a trigger.
