I thought the new trigger was supposed to be an upgrade that included easy adjustment.... sort of like the Accu trigger. Sorry, I guess I missed that. If a pro still has to adjust it, whats the big deal with it? I love my old one now that its been adjusted!

Remington changed the geometry somewhat to make it safer with a lighter trigger pull, polished up the sear surfaces, and chrome plated the parts. Supposedly, it gives it a crisper, cleaner trigger pull.
The Savage Accutrigger has a pivoting trigger block that prevents the trigger from firing accidentally if the rifle is jolted when using a lighter pull weight setting. This secondary safety device is the reason why they are able to advertise it as user-adjustable.

The new remington trigger is a pain in the rump to get to 3 pounds. the sear needs to be repolished. after thats done it work okay but the older remmy triggers are more consistaint.
I did one last night and it would pull at 3 then at 3 3/4 then at 3 1/2 it would never pull the same 3 times in a row, but it was much better than the 4 1/2 to 5 1/2 it was before I got it.
It was on a neat rifle.It had ingraved buckmasters on the side and it was number 1 of 50.Pretty and chambers 7mm08.

I haven't had a chance to play with the new X MK Pro trigger yet, BD, and reviews about it have been mixed. Some like it, some don't. I do know it comes from the factory set at a much lighter pull than the previous trigger. My comments were Remington's explanation of what they changed with the new trigger.

My 5R mil-spec has the x-mark pro trigger, so far it seems pretty nice. Out of the box pull was around 4 pounds, I set it to 2 pounds and have zero complaints. It has zero creep, zero over travel, passed the bump test and pull weight is always within a couple ounces on the digital Lyman trigger pull gauge. I have been meaning to see how low it will reliably go, but to busy. |

Those are good, and correct, instructions for adjusting the M700 trigger. However, I would never recommend someone who is unfamiliar with trigger function to follow instructions off the internet, no matter how thorough or correct they are.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, anyone reading this DO NOT bypass checking any trigger adjustments for safety with the bump and slam fire tests! Adjusting the trigger is very easy, but if you don't understand what you're doing, LEAVE IT ALONE! Adjusting triggers is not for everyone, and the safety ramifications for setting insufficient sear engagement or too little pull weight can be very grave!
