How to adjust Xmark trigger on my Remington 700?

There are a few simple steps you can take to adjust the trigger on your Remington 700 Xmark rifle. Before you begin, make sure the rifle is unloaded and pointed in a safe direction. Then, follow these steps:
- Remove the screws from the stock and slide it off of the rifle.
- Locate the two screws on the bottom of the trigger guard that hold it in place. Unscrew them and remove the trigger guard.
- Locate the adjustment screw on top of the trigger assembly. It’s marked with an “S” and is currently set to a factory setting of 2.5 pounds. Adjusting this screw will lighten or darken the pull weight of the trigger.
- Using a small Phillips head screwdriver, turn the adjustment screw clockwise to lighten the trigger pull weight, or counterclockwise to increase it. For example, turning the screw one full turn clockwise will reduce the trigger pull weight by approximately one pound.
- Once you’ve adjusted the trigger to your liking, replace the trigger guard and buttstock, and screw them in place.
