    jx344,

    Hopefully you have some experience adjusting Remington triggers. If not you may want to let a gunsmith handle this for you.

    Use this as a guideline:

    I have e-mailed another link for your pleasure.

    Best.

    A 40X can be ordered with 2 different triggers... the 40X "adjustable", or a 2 ounce. Which one do you have?

    MG1890: The trigger I have has a screw in the upper center of the trigger which I think is an adjustment screw. I have the newer version of the 40-X, the 40-XB. I was wanting to lighten the trigger pull for benchrest shooting.

    If your trigger is NOT at 2 oz. right now then you have the adjustable trigger which can only go down to about 8 oz. lowest.

    I back the adjusting screw off 1/4 of a turn and it lowered the pull down to about 8 to 10 ozs.Thats good enough for me.babun and MG1890 thanks for for your input.

    There were a couple of variations of the 40X trigger over the years. None of them were very good IMHO. Get rid of the factory trigger and replace it with one of the good after-market triggers. Pay the price, cry once. Fiddle with the Remington trigger, cry a lot.
