Finally picking up my new 700 next week and have questions on trigger pull adjustment:

1. what weight does it come from the factory?
2. what weight is generally preferred [I know this is really subjective...but let me know what are you all set at and why]?
3. If I want to adjust it, should I and how [there must be a "how to" somewhere on this forum]?

I'm pretty excited about this one as it is my first new centerfire rifle in about seven years. I'm stocked up on primers and Varget, I've ordered 100 Lapua and 100 Winchester cases, 500 175 gr SMK's (and some Barnes 160's for fun), Harris 9-13" swivel bipod, Warne bases and rings...[and a BSA 6-24x scope for about $85]. I know, I know...ya get what ya pay for. I just was having a hard time forking over 5 to 10 times that amount for optics at this time. If it craps out or whatever, I'll save up for something better down the road.

Thanks for any help and comments...

The 700 trigger is pretty easy to adjust (just do a search on this forum) and my prefered weight is 2-3 pounds. I have no idea what the factory sets them at (heavy comes to mind). FWIW - Dan
