5r trigger question

[GIO]

I was looking at a rem 700 5r at my local gun shop and i noticed an external adjustment screw poking through the upper trigger face. Is this an 40x adjustable trigger? I looked at an LTR and a XCR and did not notice any external adjustments. I can not find any info on Remington's site and the sales guy was clueless.

Can someone shine some light on this?

Thanks in advance for your help.

It is most likely a new external adjust X-Mark Pro. To my knowledge they didn't put an old-style 40X trigger into the 5R. They are making an external adjust X-Mark that they are putting in quite a few rifles. Is the trigger shoe smooth or have ridges in it?

it was a smooth trigger. didn't really like feeling the screw with the top of my finger, it juts out a bit and is distracting

the 5R's have the Xmark pro adj. The XCR LR Tact's have the 40X trigger.

I have a new 5-R in .223 with the X-Pro NON-externally adjustable trigger. It can be adjusted pretty easily with 1 allen screw in the front of the trigger assembly. I got mine down to a crisp 3.5 lb pull and quit as I don't need it any lower than that for now.
