Need some help on Rem 700 adj. It's the new trig with 2 screws front 1 rear. What does each of the screws do. I have done earler trigs but not any of the new ones. There is no screw in the trigger. Weight is heavy and lots of over travel. Thanks
 
Re: REM 700 trigger adjustment

fngmike, Not sure it's like that one. How many new ones do they have. No screw in trigger, also not like the old std of 15 years ago. 2 hex front and 1 back like the old ones. Do i adj the same as the old one.
 
Re: REM 700 trigger adjustment

I've adjusted the xmark pro, the one without the screw on the trigger shoe, like the older triggers. The one thing I've found is that the overtravel can affect the function of the safety. Also, the overtravel is harder to adj because of the jam nut within the trigger.

If you can't adj to your liking, I wouldn't mess with it, just get an after market trigger.
