However, I will fast track you.
The picture shows the only screw that one has to adjust for the X-mark{at the tip of the pen}
Take a pick,razor blade or whatever and dig the glue out of the screw.
Give this screw a twist and a half out.
This should get to around 3lbs. if the trigger was factory set @ 5lbs.
I say only one and a half because frankly in my opinion if this trigger is set lower then eratic behavior begins.
After this leave the saftey off and cycle the bolt atleast dozens of times very roughly to see if the pin drops.
Slam the butt of the rifle on a hard surface also.
The next step is to put a few bucks in a jar every week for when this trigger needs to be replaced ,you will know when it happens.
If you are doing your dry fire exercises, like you should, it is a matter of time.

Re: X mark trigger adjustment???
don't forget to put more shit on the screw after you set it or it will back all the way out. i don't think your an idiot but one never knows. case in point when i first got my 700p my father in law told me to thoroughly clean it. i seperated the barrled action from the stock and got all the crud off of it with break clean. little did i know that brake clean will also take the epoxy off the screw. for a while i just thought my trigger was braking in as the pull was getting lighter and lighter until i asked then found out what happened. took it back apart and epoxy'd it after checking like wirehand says

One can set them lighter than 3lbs. But it does get kind of sparatic in different tempratures.
