I don't remember having a stock 700 trigger at 4 lbs or below.  My 2003 VS's trigger was a 7lbs from the factory.  My BDL at 6lbs. etc. etc.  I own 5 700's bought new and the lowest was a Sendero SFII with X Mark Pro at just under 5lbs.  It adjusted well down to 2lbs but I still replaced it with a Jewell.

    Man! what a difference in poundage.  They are all over the spectrum with trigger pulls.

The Etronx trigger is similar in feel and outward appearance only.  Since it is only a switch, it doesn't have quite the same safety ramifications as the standard mechanical trigger, since there isn't a sear holding back the fire control system under spring tension.

Well as I watched more of Bob Dunlap last night, he later on said that if you want it lower than 4.5#s to take it to a trigger expert.  So he just does not want novices doing trigger jobs it appears.

I've had the old style 700 triggers down to 1.5-2lbs. but it takes some time.  Minimal amount of sear engagement is the limiting factor.

 I know this is a little off the subject and i know there was a thread about this awhile back.
 I bought a cdl 257 weatherby and i want to adjust the trigger. The last time i worked on a new xmark trigger i left a piece of the allen wrench in it because of the glue. Anyone have a secret methed of loosening the glue?    Thanks

 Heat gun worked Fine. It was at 6 lbs got her down to around 3 lbs.
 Just waiting on brass & dies, then we'll see how she shoots.
