remington mountain trigger

[trophytaker308]

i know you can adjust this trigger but what is the lowest possible setting and how do you go about doing it,i know there are 2 screws and you back the top one out and tighten the bottom so many turns or vis vrs,my question is,is there a secret spot on turning the 2 in the directions they need to go to get the best and lightest pull?.....thanks

check out a site called quarterbore, then search remington trigger adjustment. 2 trains of thought, one is to adjust sear and one is not to adjust sear.

Good luck.

Adjusting the sear is what makes so many of them dangerous. Just adjust the pull weight ONLY and you should be able to get it down to about 3 pounds safely. As I recall that's the bottom one on the side with two screws. Don't forget to remove the sealer first and reapply something like clear fingernail polish after you're done to hold it in place.

A good gunsmith can adjust a Rem trigger down to any reasonable pull weight. I've had a few reduced 2-2.5lbs and they are perfectly safe. Neil Jones sais that some Rem triggers can be safely reduced to 1lb. I put him to the test and he was, indeed, capable of getting the pull weight that low with no slam fires or other problems.

I use the 1lb trigger on a walking varmint rifle that is carried unloaded. Big game rifles rarely have triggers set at less than 2.5-3lbs.
