[QUOTE="NoFences, post: 1143166, member: 66905"] Is there any new procedure developments on tuning the X Mark trigger ? All of the searches I have located are several years old . I recently purchased a used ([B]new this year[/B]) 700 Long Range stainless in .300 Win. I can't get the trigger to adjust below 3 3/4 lbs . I haven't adjusted the epoxied screw on the front of the trigger housing yet as I have not seen any specifics on the amount of adjustment to reduce the poundage. I also read where shooters were getting slam fires after making this adjustment...... I also see old postings where Ernie the gunsmith sells a replacement spring, but I haven't seen any posts where a shooter has used one with success. I read where someone sprayed One Shot into the trigger mechanism to lube it, but I haven't read any other postings where it improved anything.... Lastly I know I can and should replace the trigger but I just drained the well with the gun, scope, bullets, powder , etc... and I'd like to try and get the trigger down below 3lbs if possible before I try to develop a load for it. If you've had any success with your X-Mark tuning, I'd appreciate any info you can share. Thank you [/QUOTE]
