Re: Ditch my X-mark trigger in my 700P?
I adjusted the x-mark on my 700 to a repeatable 2.5 pounds. Not saying that it's safe for daily use or hunting, carrying around, or rolling in the back of the truck. But it is consistent, and I'm shooting paper.
Take care when doing the adjustment, and check to be sure that running the bolt won't set off the trigger. I initially adjusted mine too low, and running the bolt would result in the trigger tripping. It's not terribly difficult to do, but be careful that you're not taking it too low to where it's unsafe.
In my opinion (you know what they're like....) stick with a tuned x-mark on a factory rifle, and an aftermarket trigger on a custom piece. I think that there are areas to make improvements on a factory rifle, and the trigger, while important, isn't the first place I'd look to spend money.
