"Adjusting triggers is something that was once an expected job by the owner of a new gun, just like adjusting the seats in your new car."
The test followed on my Remington 700's and model 7.
"•Slam the bolt closed a dozen times, check to see if the pin dropped each time. If the pin drops, back out the engagement screw 1/4 turn, and do again.
•Cock the pin, set the safety, pull the trigger, release the trigger, and release the safety, a dozen times... if the pin drops, increase the spring tension (shouldn't be necessary, unless you're down around 10-15 oz's, and this trigger is not reliable at that light a pull.
Put white or red nail polish on the screws. Let dry, and put another coat on it again, and again.
There will be no "take up slack", this is a single stage trigger, and can't be adjusted to act like a two stage.
These triggers are easily capable of going to 24-26 oz's, and they keep the setting year after year, and I've never had to re-adjust one."
If you don't know the difference between a straight screw driver bit and a Phillips bit take the rifle to a good smith who does.
As far as the glove comments you leave the safety ON till your ready to shoot not before do you release it. You should PRACTICE THAT even if your happy with your 40 pound trigger pull.

Installed timney 2lb spring in my browning a-bolt. Feels much improved over the 3.5-4 factory spring. The sear seems to remain engaged after repeated slamming, cocking and banging. Will continue to test it but so far, i think i will be good
