I've had 2 trigger jobs done on Rem 700's by a gunsmith. Both are set at 3lbs. There is no play in the trigger at all. Just a crisp click and that is it. I saw your post earlier and read the links that were posted up. I just got another Rem 700 BDL in .243 but was afraid to try what you did. Don't worry you'll have a lot of help here, after some of these experienced guys chime in. I'm very interested in how you fix your problem. Please post your results.

Good Luck Bryan
