I've followed your saga here Tealboy, and even asked you if it was an X Mark Pro trigger...you didn't answer.

Since you've stated somewhere thatyou just bought this rifle a week ago and it was new, I'll assume it IS the X Mark Pro trigger which is what Remington has switched overto, replacing the old triggers that you've found instructions onfor making adjustments. You can verify if it is the X Mark Pro if it is of stainless construction and has hex drive screws instead of slotted screw on the adjustments.

This trigger is slightly different in design but basically set up the same as the old ones regarding trigger adjustment. The tag that came tied to the trigger guard plainly says that it is "gunsmith adjustible" for "trigger weight". Sear engagement and over travel are not intended to be adjusted and the screws are staked in place.

Since you've had quite a bit of trouble with this, and in my opinion recieved "advice" that shouldn't have been given, re; adjusting the new ones with instructions on the old ones....I stronglyurge you to take this rifle to a reputable gunsmith and haveit put back to factory specs and THEN have the trigger weight adjusted since that was your intial complaint with the trigger.

Spend a few bucks, get it right, even have the smith show you what he's doing so you can know what to do, and consider this all a lesson learned.........

As an aside, the X Mark Pro I have cleanly adjusted down to1 3/4 pounds with a minimal adjustment to the weight screw, no bumps or creep. They are good triggers but do yourself a favor and get it done right.
