A-Bolt trigger

I've adjusted lots of Rem triggers, but never an A-Bolt. How do you adjust the pull Wt.??? It was set at 5.5 lbs., and I have gotten it down to 4.5 lbs. I would like to get to 2.5. or 3.0. I did that buy tightening the little screw behind the trigger, but it is now bottomed out, at 4.5 lbs. ???? THX

  hawkshaw....... you can purchase a timney spring kit from BROWNELLS and others.
  you will have 2 springs. a medium and lite spring. these are very easy to drop in.
  just check the normal...... make sure it will not release with the bump test and slam the bolt home test. follow their instructions and you will be fine.

  Expecting criticism , I used a spring from an ink pen once.
  It worked perfect.
  As mentioned, do the bump test.

  A lot of time, too much concentration is put on the weight of the pull, instead of the geometry of the sear/striker/hammer relation. If you had a 5 pound trigger with no creep/pre-travel, and no over travel, you could do just as good, or better at the bench, and in the field, as you can with a lite trigger, with lots of travel.
  
  Lightening the trigger, is not always the best answer, although is all to often resorted to, to try to fix things.
  
  You need to address the sear engagement on that trigger.
  
  Best
