Quick X-Mark trigger question

[oubeta]

Is the adjustment screw supposed to be sticking way out of the trigger?
I backed it off to what I think is around 2.5lbs and it's sticking way out of the trigger. I guess it's supposed to?

Yeah I adjusted mine down as much as I could and that screw does stick out kina far, and I still wish the pull was lighter. Maybe a new trigger is in my future.

Yup I'm not too fond of the new trigger.
It seems like it won't go much below 2.5-3lbs which is fine, but the adjustment screw sticks way out and kind bugs me

As soon as I fired my 700P in 223 I knew I'd be replacing that trigger. I just couldn't get the x mark to adjust light enough for me. I normaly use Jewell triggers but got a deal on a Timney and haven't looked back.

Just remove that "adjustment" screw from the trigger paddle altogether. Seriously. The real trigger adjustment screws can't be accessed without pulling the action from the stock. Here are instructions for making real adjustments:

And when they say the screws are hard to brake free, they are not kidding!

good tip, I just took the screw out and the trigger pull is pretty light now, not sure exactly how many lbs but its better than it was.
