[QUOTE="HOSS, post: 470753, member: 1863"] Rem 700's have a well deserved reputation for very good factory triggers and getting a 4 pound pull out of one should be no problem. Sounds like your gunsmith adjusted it too light. I have made this mistake on one of my 700's. I too do the drop test with an empty chamber after a trigger adjustment. I also work the bolt and squeeze the trigger pretty hard with the safety off. You can never be too safe with a firearm. The 700 factory trigger should be more than adequate for 90% of your average rifle user. The factorys are forced to sell the rifles with pretty heavy trigger pulls because of our litigious society. I shoot quite often and used to compete in bench rest competitions so I got used to a very light trigger pull. I own several 700's and most have had the factory trigger replaced with either Jewel or Timiney trigger sets. [/QUOTE]
