[QUOTE="farm208, post: 5314172, member: 22787"] You can adjust the factory trigger on 700‘s. on the narrow side thats where the front of the trigger is find the 2 screws. One is near the top and the other is in the middle. They are covered with clear glue to keep them from moving. Scratch off the glue. back out the screw that’s in the middle till u get the low weight you want. Check to see the trigger won’t fire when you push in the bolt and lock down. If you back the middle screw out too far it will fire upon closing the bolt When you take it off safety. Screw it back in till it won’t fire after closing the bolt down when taking it off safe.If it goes off safe to fire as soon as you move the safety lever it’s out too far. Adjust the screw in till it quits firing as soon as u move from safe to fire. The top screw is for play in the trigger. you can find info on this on the internet. Also bump the butt on floor with a pretty good bolt to make sure it does not fire. You want to be really safe and not have a gun fire when it’s dropped. Be safe and be sure it don’t fire if it’s bumped hard on the ground. After adjusting take some fingernail polish and spread a tiny amount around the threads of the screws. You’ll have a much better shooter. The top screw is trigger stop screw For over travel. The middle is trigger weight screw. The opposite side which is behind the trigger is trigger engagement screw. I don’t usually turn any but the middle screw as it gets it done. [/QUOTE]
