DEER1,
I've run into this trouble. It was all my own making. This is the result of the sear engagement being to short and the trigger pull being to light. I like my varmint rifle triggers VERY light and without creep or back lash. My Remington M-700 VLS in .22-250 has a 12oz. trigger pull. I'll be the first to state that this weight is dangerous in a hunting rifle. The only thing that I hunt with this rifle is prairie dogs off of a bench rest. Under the right we occasionally take shots to 800 yards. This makes the trigger, as I have it, mandantory. But as I said, this is a unsafe condition for a hunting rifle. Take it to a good gunsmith and have the trigger adjusted and it will solve your problems. Good luck.
