I had my trigger adjusted by a good smith a couple months and a couple of hundered rounds ago. Today I took my rifle off saftey and BOOM. It is a remington 700 but it is a new style remington trigger. I dropped the stock(not knowing much about trigger design and noticed an allen screw that was backed out almost all the way. I tightened it a bit and sure enough I have not been able to get it to misfire again(I got it to do it 5 times before adjustment). My question is because im hunting and this is the only rifle I have with me, when I put the action back into the stock what are the chances that my zero is still true? How much movement is possible. I did not remove the scope from the action. Thanks

Re: On hunting trip having trigger problems...
Chances are its going to be pretty close to your zero IMO. I think your level of concern really depends on what your hunting and at what range. If your planning on shooting at something large at closer ranges than I wouldn't think you need to worry. Of course if your shooting prairie dogs at long distance you may have something to worry about. Isn't there some place you can take a couple shots to confirm your zero?

The fact you turned a screw on your trigger that you admitted you don't know what it's for is a bit disheartening. Keep that thing pointed in a safe direction.

id be willing to bet that if you torqued the action back into the stock to the same torque specs you wont have any shift. You may have a heavier trigger pull, but you didnt do anything to the zero of the rifle.
Shoot it and rock on, no zero change

Re: On hunting trip having trigger problems...
I would say this depends on if your rifle is bedded or not.
I am able to take my 308 in and out of the stock with no Zero issues, but I would think an unbedded rifle would not be the same. I think it would be close but there might be a noticeable difference.
