Witch screw on the XMARK Pro trigger?

[DalesCarpentry]

Witch screw on the Xmark Pro trigger is the weight adjustment? Is it the front top or front bottom screw. I ask this because the pictures in Nonya's thread on the trigger adjustment are missing now. Here is a link. Is this diagram correct? Thanks Dale                http://www.quarterbore.com/library/articles/rem700trigger.html

You can tell clearly from this photo of the trigger on my Model Seven Predator .17 Fireball.

Thanks a lot guys. I now have a trigger I can live with. I have been debating on trying to do this myself for almost a year. My gun smith would have done it for $25.00 but decided I would try it for myself today. I figured if some how I messed it up I could always go to him with my tail between my legs and ask him to fix it. I have to say it was very simple. I backed that screw out 1 3/4 turns and the trigger is perfect now. Dale

Don't forget to reseal it so it doesn't move around on you. Fingernail polish works fine. I have a bottle of clear I've been using for the job for years now and you can hardly tell it's been used at all as the bottle still looks full.

I asked my wife and daughter if they had any clear fingernail polish and they did not. I did have some red lock tite that I did use and may be a problem now. Since I posted I have had a successful go of it I have cycled the bolt many many more times. I have even dropped it on the floor several times to be sure it would not fire. I have even closed the bolt with authority many times to be sure it dose not fire that way as well. As it turns out it does not cock every time now. When it does not cock I can open the bolt and put the safety on. After that when I close the bolt it will cock and then I can pull the trigger and it will fire. So tomorrow I will need to dig the lock tite out and start over. No big deal though. It is just another lesson learned. I probably should have reassembled the rifle and did all the tests many many many times over before using the lock tite. Dale

Loctite is a real NO-NO in this application and I think RED is the one that is not removable but for your sake I hope not. Any color finger nail polish is fine I just choose to use clear it's not a mandatory color choice. Good luck getting that red loctite off.

If I can't remove it with a dental pick. I think I read somewhere that heat will loosen it. I have a small electric soldering iron and will try that is I can't pick it out using the dental pick. Dale

The really nice thing about fingernail polish is that acetone removes it easily and quickly. The stuff Remington uses also seems to dissolve in acetone and that makes me wonder if they too have a bunch of bottles of clear fingernail polish in the shop.
