OK, I give up. What the hell can be done to make the factory trigger on a new Mod 700 break at a reasonable weight. I can handle the overtravel, but how do you reduce the pull?

A good 'smith in your neck of the woods is Neil Jones...check out www.benchrest.com and look on the left side of the screen. Does great work and is inexpensive. I have one of his triggers that he set at 1.5 pounds...safety works and can't make it slam-fire and crisp as a glass rod breaking.

Except the $200 price tag might stimulate your memory!
I agree, they are wonderful, but for most hunting & even informal target shooting, simply tuning the factory trigger, for free, will work fine.
Was Tweesdad being sarcastic with the "SIR"? Maybe I need to rethink a bit....I always figure that I should do what I can do well and if I can't do it well to get someone who knows what they are doing to do it. I think this is especially true of things like triggers and safeties and other things that it is important to have done right. To me a good safe trigger is almost as important to good shooting as a good barrel, proper bedding and a good set of sights.

No, I was most definately not being sarcastic. Military upbringing, training, and a long time as a Cop have taught me to be polite when expressing thanks to someone who has rendered aid and comfort. Once again, thank you SIR

Nope, new trigger has screws. Downloaded instructions as advised by D B Bill, and it now pulls 29 oz. on my scale. Problem solved. Yo Bill, thanks again
