I have the first generation x-mark trigger in my model 700 22-250. It can not be adjusted without taking the gun out of the stock. I was wondering if anyone has some pics of which screw to turn on the trigger. They say you do not need to turn all 3 of them like on the older 700 triggers. I looked on the next an can't find any pics of it. They all seem to have broken links.
Thanks.

Get rid of the X trigger and get an after market trigger or purchase an older Remington trigger. You will be much happier. My opinion and this is my opinion only is those new triggers are junk. They keep saying how good they are and keep promoting them. They are cheaper to manufacture and allot of the new trigger is castings. Besides all it allows you to adjust is weight of trigger.

I agree with Mr. Pistol, change out the trigger assembly. If you try and adjust the trigger you will need a torch to heat the screws for removal. I am not sure what was used to lock the screws in place, and I don't believe it was "Loc-tite", but it isn't easy to free them. The old Remington triggers were a dream compared to the new ones.

I bought a new 700 a month or 2 ago. It came with a little allen wrench that fits and adjusts very easy.
Maybe you have an older model or a bad one.
I an an incomplete quad. one of the reasons I bought the 700 with the X Trigger, besides being a Remington guy.
For me it is GREAT. Hope you can get yours working.

Toss that X-mark trash away. I guess there fine for the average shooter. However if your paper punching beyond 100yds get rid of it.

Can you guys give me a link or some direction to a good aftermarket trigger set-up. Thanks in advance.

Jewell or Timmey are I'm guessing the best. Google it, I've tried rifle basic and Jewell was just worlds better. Good luck. Read the details, you can get them with no bolt release, no safety, whatever. Good luck.

the Remington X-Mark Pro trigger can be adjusted down to 3# minimum and still test safe. I really don't know what these others are doing wrong, but I have several Timney triggers, an Accutrigger, and the X-Mark Pro. I have no reason to change out the X-Mark, it breaks crisp, clean, and consistant at 3# against my digital pull scale. If you want to go below 3# then you may need to change it out.

anyway, to adjust the trigger, here is a great link to the correct info you need.

Adjusting the Remington 700 Trigger

if your not sure you want to tackle the whole setup procedure, just adjust the front lower trigger pull screw. adjusting just this one screw is the easiest and quickest to just lower trigger pull weight.

One note: later X-Mark tiggers I've seen have excessive amounts of loctite on the sear screw that makes it next to impossible to perform the complete adjustment. (I guess Remington's trying to keep us out of there). lowering the trigger pull adjustment (front lower screw) will get you down to 3#. that's the pull weight I have set for my hunting rifles and does quite well on the bench at that pull weight . only my target bench guns have triggers set below this, generally in the 2# range or slightly less.

Whatever you choose to do Always test the finished product extensively before loading the firearm!

Those are the older Rem triggers. correct? I've got them on 3 of my rifles and I love them, but I think the OP and Myself too are curious about the X
mark trigger which doesn't have those 3 screws. So how do you adjust the X-Mark. I have thought of swapping it with one of my other ones, but that would leave one of my others with a trigger I don't like.
