Rem. 700 BDL trigger adj.

Does the Rem 700 BDL w/factory trigger have any adjustment capability if done by a gunsmith?

[duckey]

I do believe it does, check out the YouTube.

they all do, but depending on which era of trigger, some are better than others. imo if its a later one with the xmark or xmark pro, just replace it with a good trigger.

Depends which trigger you have. Check the serial number. Some had internal or external adjustments. Too many variations and decades of changes.

Due to the litigation associated with Remington triggers, it is highly unlikely that you will get a professional gunsmith to do anything beyond cleaning one. There are very good self-help instructions and youTube videos on adjusting the various models but it is up to you to insure that your adjustments have left you with a safe trigger. The X models especially are not worth adjusting unless you are happy with a creepy 5# trigger. Timeny, Jewel, Shilen, Jard, Rifle Basix all make good replacement triggers so save yourself some grief.

The Rem trigger that is on my rifle has 2 screws on the front top of the trigger unit. Would one be for lbs of pull and the other for over-travel? I do believe that my rifle is an earlier model.

Before you start turning screws, soak that old trigger with solvent and get it extra clean. It will work a lot better if it isn't gummed up with old, dried-out oil.

I do them every day. With proper technique, even the newer ones can be made to be very nice. No need to buy an aftermarket trigger unless you really need a pull weight of less than 2 pounds. At that point,the replacement ones start to make sense.

Nobade, I'm with you! Set the trigger to a safe trigger pull, no creep,no over travel , and then learn to shoot it! Just my .02 cents.

One of mine was originally at 3.5# with little to no creep. Sent it in for the recall and it came back heavier. 4# and absolutely no creep or overtravel. It feels absolutely right when squeezing off full power loads of 7mmRemMag. This was on the x Mark internal adjustment factory triggers.

Just in case someone has been under a rock or otherwise checks this thread and doesn't know about the recall. You can simply type your serial number into the search box to see if the recall applies. http://xmprecall.remington.com/

I used the "quarterbore" method today on a 1980's trigger and it worked great. I also found out that Dremel tool bit shafts make great trigger pins.
