Whats the scoop on this trigger? Whats the good bad or ugly of this new Remington trigger. I bought one, and it will be the first one i have ever messed with. Just looking for some of your opinions! Thanks Lee
I'd second all that. The trigger shoe is also very thin. If you like the feel of the old trigger. you'll hate the new one. Get an after market replacement.
I got mine down to 2.5 lbs but didn't seal the adjustment screw. After a few outings I began to notice it wasn't as sweet. It had crept back up to 4 lbs. I re-adjusted it and applied a little blue locktite and it has held for the last thousand rounds at an even 2.5.
Agreed the trigger shoe sucks. Other then that I have one on my 5R and love it. Had to replace the X-Marks on my two SPS"s with Shilen"s , just could not get those adjusted to where I was pleased.
I shot the x-mark on my 5R for about a year. Much better than previous rem out-of-the-box triggers. Eventually went to a Timney but overall I was not completely disappointed with the x-mark.
Mine for some reason will not be adjusted under 5 lbs. But it has virtually no creep and is a good trigger otherwise, if I could just lighten it up I'd keep it.
