    hey all i have a pretty new 700 5R that has only seen one range trip. Althought it shoots like a champ the trigger feels like it set at 30lbs. Can someone please point me in the right direction to get this fixed. I would like a nice 2 1/2 to 3 lbs pull. I went with a buddy of mine to a smith to get his adjusted and it only took about 15 minutes. I live on the west side of Houston and would like to get this done today if possable.
    thanks all

    If you feel like making a trip out to Dayton on Sunday I'll walk you through the process. I don't have any plans for tomorrow except cutting the grass and I'd love to find an excuse not to do that!

    I just adjusted my Remington 700 trigger following the directions from Adjusting the Remington 700 Trigger . This was my first time adjusting a Remington 700 trigger. It could not have been any easier. It only took about 30 minutes and best of all it was free.

    If you need a smith in the future Pete at precision barrel work does a great job, and he is about as nice as they come. Precision Barrel Work

    It's easy to adjust the trigger. We did a friends trigger down around the 1.0 - 1.25 # area. Just make sure to work the bolt a few times to ensure it won't slam fire if you go that light.

    The upper adjustment is for the overtravel stop, the lower is the pull weight, and the one in the rear is not to be messed with.
