I have been wanting a lighter trigger pull on my Remington 700 since I bought it 3 years ago. I believe it has to be around 8lbs. I can place my rifle on a bench with the bipod on and a rear sandbag and slowly pull the trigger and the gun will slide backwards and not go off. I believe its really hurting my groups.
Onward to the point, I can not afford to buy an aftermarket trigger. My workplace has cut their overtime so my gun money is pretty bare. I have searched for articles on adjusting the trigger pull and I found one that seems simple enough that I can do myself Adjusting the Remington 700 Trigger
To the gunsmiths out there, is this the basic practice for adjusting it? Are they still as safe at 1lb as they are from the factory?
