    Gunsmith screwed up my trigger?

    I had my gunsmith tune my trigger to 2.5 pounds recently. Stock Remington X-Mark pro trigger in the remington 700 SPS-V .308 Ive noticed a few times that, upon closing the bolt with the safety off the gun would, in a sense, fire. I.E. The firing pin would return to its state of rest. I didnt...

    I think so. Estimated at about 300 lbs He came up on it, and didnt want to turn the dogs on him, so he shot him between the eyes with a .22 magnum.

    Tempted to start some new target practice

These dogs dont really cause any major nuisance, other than the obvious. We had some getting in our garbage...
