Thanks for your help. I will definitely take it to a qualified person this time. I need to be kicked for not doing it the first time. Thanks again.
Remington old sytle triggers are adjustable to a point, by moving the set and adjusting screws, However, if you want a nice trigger job it needs to go to a smith that is very good at honing after the adjustment. (Since most of these are riveted, this is done with a compound paste, then removed (extracted) and reoiled for smoothness) The most important thing with 700's is they were massed produced and you CAN'T do everyone the same, period. It is an art to make them really shine. Ruger MKII are in the same arena, but they do come apart, easier to hone and work on, they don't have much if any adjust menton except for the the new style (or very old style), but with the right touch and slow operation they can be they smoothest trigger you have ever pulled (or touched off). JMO and 2 cents
