Rem 700 BDL trigger adjustment for weight as it's already crisp?

My Rem 700 BDL is just a couple years old and it's NOT the X-Mark Pro trigger.

Is this the way ya guys do it or is there another tutorial you suggest I look into?

Just want to be sure before I get into it...because some say just need to adjust the WEIGHT/TENSION SCREW instead of sychronizing all three screws?

Thanks!

The system you mention does work fine. The "old" 700 trigger is in my opininion one of the better ones for a factory trigger once it is adjusted properly. It is not suggested that you try and take it down below 2lbs. even though I have had some that would safely go a bit lower. Obviously what you do not want is the trigger going off when you shut the bolt and as a check for this once it is adjusted, work the bolt and work it briskly, harshly, 10-12 times to see if it goes off(empty chamber of course!!.) I have Jewells and they are fine trigger, but it is just a more precision made 700 trigger and my Long Range/High Power scores did not improve with a Jewell over a finely adjusted 700 trigger. Also saves you about 250.00 and that can be spent on powder, primers, brass and bullets which will make for a better shooter with time behind the gun. JMO

MFD,

I'd like to adjust its 10# trigger pull down to 3 - 3.5 lb trigger pull for this hunting rifle.

I'll be sure to slam that bolt and smack that butt on the ground a good many times so I'm assured it won't go off

Thanks!

Hey Ro,

Here's another one. I've used this method on 700's for a while now. Don't know how it compares with the sniper country method, but it has always worked fine for me.

I appreciate it buddy I'll give it a look!

Nobody here in Hawaii (2) gunsmiths want to mess with triggers!

Thanks!

This is the adjustment guide I have used on many 700's. It has worked outstanding for me.
