So I adjusted my X-Mark Pro down to ~2.5 lbs yesterday and I found today that it had crept back up to around 4 lbs. I readjusted the trigger again and I'm going to see if there is any future inconsistency. I searched and found a few threads about this problem with the X-Mark Pros, but none of them said if they tried multiple times or not. I'm hoping that I will be able to get it to stick, but maybe that is just wishful thinking. Anyone else have some experience with this?

When I read about so many other people having this problem I thought there was a good chance I would need to adjust it again so I chose not to use nail polish. I did check the screw and it had not backed out any though. Something other than the screw is causing the problems.
The X Pro trigger is junk. This shouldn't surprise you or anyone else for that matter. I thought it was nice when it first came out until I picked one up from the rep. That was a big mistake, but I was at least able to get the thing to shoot, which from what I have heard over the past few years is a hard thing to do. It makes me upset to see what remington is doing with their company and I hope that they can pull their head out of their asses and turn things around before remington turns into the Hipoint of the rifle industry.
I believe it is the spring that's the main problem. There are a few guys out there that have mastered that POS trigger to work correctly. Remington made it very difficult to adjust the creep, and overtravel on that trigger. Actually they don't want you to be able to adjust that. They should have worked on a better quality spring behind the trigger though. That way their idea of owner self adjust trigger would have had a better out come with the users. Instead what they ended up with is a rifle that many people end up having to spend extra money to replace the trigger on. I personally have had some that work perfectly just like an expensive aftermarket trigger, and some that we're doing what you described. I had a lot of 20 triggers I sold for $200.00. They are priced at of $90.00 at Brownells. That's how much I don't care for them. They were sold to someone who has taken the time to learn how to make them worthy of going into a precision rifle. Me? I just assume change them out for a $120.00 Timney.
Well after the second adjustment it creeped back up for a day, but now it is at a steady 2 lbs. The creep and overtravel are non-existant. Hopefully it stays like this because I love it where it's at now. I do have a feeling that it will change after some live fire though.
I have the same problem with my Pro-X trigger. I could only get it down to 4#. Any suggestions on a good durable trigger? I was looking at a Jewell but heard that if they get any dust on it, it turns into a drama queen and won't please you.
Surgeon Rifles uses a Jewell trigger in many of their builds, and GAP offers them too. However, some have had bad luck with them. I have had two and never had any issues, but I have never needed to fire my rifles in a dusty, desert environment. I don't see anything wrong with a tuned Remington or a Timney and they cost quite a bit less.
