Go to Sniper Country and do a search. it's all laid out there. Real simple.

Caveat: There have been instances where the gun fired when the safety was moved to the fire position. In the trigger set up there is a disconnector type piece (can't remember the right name) which prevents this. However in order for this to operate properly the internal mechanism must not be dirty. Clean thoroughly with brake pad cleaner and lube sparingly the moving parts. Above all, donot spray the trigger unit with WD 40 to clean.

I recently had the trigger on my Remy 700 Mountain rifle lightenedn by my gunsmith. Made a big difference and resulted in tighter groups.

The parts you discussed in the 'trigger connector' (number 47 on the diagram at the link below). The problem stems from the safety moving the sear out of engagement with the striker when it is applied. If the part in question hangs as if it were in a sticky environment, it fails to reconnect or reset if the trigger is pulled with the safety applied. With the sear not reset if the saafety lever is moved to the off position it will fire. Clean the trigger as suggested with carb cleaner or brake cleaner(brake cleaner is likely better) and lube only with dry film lubricants.. If forced to use any for of oil, use it very, very sparingly!!! And always remember the first rule of firearms safety, 'never point the muzzle at anything you're not willing to destroy'!!!  With these triggers and most others I strongly advise against altering the factory sear engagement amount. If there is a significant amount of creep then it should be taken to a competant smith. Lightening the pull weight won't affect the sear engagement. Note the location of the adjusting screws on the attached diagram..
