My understanding is the "Huber" 2 stage trigger is the cats ass trigger, close second being the CG Jackson/Xtreme trigger.

Strongly disagree with the above statement. I've sent about 1000 rounds down range with the huber and 4000+ with the Jackson. I like everything about the Jackson better. Also, the Huber isn't actually a 2 stage trigger. The Jackson is a true 2 stage. </div></div>
Interesting. Unfortunately, I haven't had the chance to feel either of them, and I've got to admit, I was really just regurgitating the babble I've heard on the hide. I was hoping using the wording "my understanding is..." would relay that it wasn't based on personal experience.
I bought the Xtreme for my FN, but the adjustment screws were seized when it arrived so I had to send it back. Awaiting it's return before I can offer a personal opinion of it.
I am familiar with how it works, and I do really like the heavy sear engagement the fist stage removes...as a 2 stage oughtta be. I wasn't aware the Huber didn't work that way.
Glad to hear so many folks saying they actually <span style="font-style: italic">prefer</span> the Xtreme to the Huber. </div></div>
The screws have loctite to keep them from coming out of adjustment. I suspect if you cranked on them a little harder, they would have broken loose and then been more reasonable to adjust. That's probably what Tom will do for you
We have four rifles with CG X-treme triggers and have put over 15K rounds through the rifles with them. The triggers are fantastic and have been completely reliable. I've had more problems with my custom actions ....none with the trigger. It is a little more complex than the average trigger: some people get frustrated trying to adjust it. But once you understand how it works, it is the best trigger out there. Here is an article that provides an in depth view:
