I have the X-mark trigger on my Rem.700. I am wanting to adjust it but don't know if it will adjust like old style. Its not XMark Pro with set screw in trigger, just said X-Mark on the tags. Looks similar to old style. Thanks
 
Some good info:

X Mark Pro Triggers - 24hourcampfire

No. 9. M-700 X-Mark Pro Adjustable Install a Light Trigger Spring

This info is for the X-Mark Pro, but the standard X-Mark can be adjusted in the same fashion (use the front lower screw to adjust pull weight). I typically leave the sear engagement and overtravel screws alone.

If you have modest expectations for trigger pull weight (like a usable "field" setting of ~3lbs), then I see little reason to replace the X-Mark trigger. GA Precision apparently agrees, as they shipped a new rifle to me with an X-Mark trigger installed.
