Remington 700 trigger problem.

[Larryjk]

Most of the time it is not possible to get a Remington trigger down past 3 lbs. without changing the weight of pull spring.
With the factory spring, you reach the stage where the spring no longer puts any pressure on the trigger to reset. By changing to a lighter,BUT LONGER, spring you keep pressure on the trigger to reset. A little stoning on the trigger and sear with a ceramic or black stone can get you down below 2 lbs. If you need a trigger lighter than that, buy a three lever system. When you reassemble
the rifle, cock it and drop it on the HEEL of the stock from about 1 foot. If it goes off, you haven't done it right. Make sure the safety still works when you get done.
