Yes sir!! You remove the trigger assembly and replace it with a Timney. My original trigger would not stay consistant and the safety was questionable on my 375H&H. Timney solved all these problems

Here the instructions for adjusting a Mark-X trigger from Kuhnhausen's book:

I'm with Buddy Roberts! lol

I know that didn't answer your question but, I find those CD abominations not worth the effort to adjust and recently replaced mine with Timney w/o safety and put a Jim Kobe two position bolt shroud safety on it. Works like a champ and looks cooooool!

The CD triggers are terrible...if you adjust the trigger pull down the safety will not work. I messed with mine for hours and never got the thing to function properly. I sold the gun and now it is someone elses problem!

I've used the MKX and CD triggers for years. I have never had a problem getting a nice 3# trigger pull. As to the safety. After you adjust the sear and pull weight you need to re-adjust the trigger. I screw the safety screw in until the trigger will not function then slow back it out until I can pull the trigger.

I agree there are better triggers but I have numerous that work just fine.

Tiny,

I have to agree with the others here, especially ramrod. Regarding the quality of the trigger; certainly not the best but servicable; AFTER adjustment. As they come from the factory; most are way-y-y out of whack.

I took mine back to the retailer and watched their German gunsmith adjust it - exactly the way the instructions above read. He adjusted it to be a very usable trigger, with a reasonable weight, no creep or overtravel, and the safety functions perfectly.

He did it in ten minutes including taking the rifle out of the stock and re-assembling. I could have probably have accomplished the same in an hour. So you be the best jusge of the way to go forward with this.

Have Fun!

I just adjusted the trigger on a charles daly 30-06. Thanks south40 for the information, I'd been meaning to look for it on the web but you saved me a lot of time by plopping it down here in front of me. I mounted a leupold FX-III 6x42 on it at the same time. It took me about an hour from start to finish of fixing the trigger, lapping the rings and mounting the scope.

I haven't put a scale to it yet, but I'm really happy with the trigger, it seems around 3 lbs and is nice and crisp (safety works fine). It started off with a LOT of creep, but the instructions were good and I was able to make it a very satisfactory trigger.

I bought this rifle for a beater, and at the $260 I paid for it I've got more money in the scope than the rifle. If it'll shoot okay then it's a lot of rifle for the money. I really don't see why folks dump on them so much, the quality seems pretty good to me for the money. It's a nicer rifle than the wal-mart M700 ADL's and push feed M70's that they sell.
