I don't know what it would cost.However I would highly recommend that you take it to a Smith that knows what he is doing. You never said if your rifle was a 700 or not but I'm assuming. There has been allot of accidental discharges with the Rem.700's due to people tampering with their triggers. Go to www.remington.com and you will see that they have warnings about the 700's accidental discharges.( GO TO Remington's safety Center.Then to Special bolt action safety.)If you have your mind made up to lighten the trigger take it to a competent gunsmith.It may cost a little more but you can't put a price on life.

If its your hunting gun are you sure you want it to brake at 2 lbs? Just a thought.

to answer rugers question,yes it is a 700 adl synthectic.and you are right i wouldn't even concider doing or trying to do it myself.just trying to get a rough idea of cost involved.as to o/u question,yes it is a hunting rifle and the current trigger has way to much travel.i am not a big time rifle hunter(i'm in a shotgun only area for deer)but i do no that when your mind says fire that bullet needs to be air born,on its way.with a stock 700adl this is not possible without jerking the trigger.so there for there tends to be a slight delay between when you want it air born and when it actually is.this is somthing that i have wanted to do for several years but just never got around to doing,this year i want it done.i have fired a few rifles with 2 pound pulls and it seems to be very comfortable,3 pounds isn't bad either.shot a few hair pin triggers and didn't like them,at least not for hunting purposes.ridge runner if that is all it cost then i'm deffinetly having it done.thanks for the replys folks.

700 triggers are easy to adjust, have done &quot;MY OWN&quot; triggers for years set to around 2 1/2lb. Find a good gunsmith and he should be able to adjust it in no time at all! The going price for a 700 trigger job in my area is around $20.00...<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Hunt Safe!

I have a trigger problem (I think) and rather than create a similar looking post (and with coyoteseeker's permission) I'll ask it here.
I have fired a couple hundred rounds out of my new semi-auto .223 rifle. Out of those 200 or so rounds I have had 3 or four shots fired where two rounds were fired with one trigger pull. Although two round bursts aren't necessarily a bad thing I would rather have more control over my weapon than that. Any ideas as to what might be wrong or the cost I would be looking at getting it taken care of?

i'm no expert on this but i have seen this happen in an 1100 semi auto shotgun.when the first shell is fired it forces the breach bolt open,when the breach slams back into fireing position its touching off another round.check the breach bolt to make sure its clean and allowing the fireing pin to seat back into place.maybe some grit keeping it sticking out some.like i said though i'm no expert and it may be more technical.

I pull and pull and pull some more and then it goes off, its killing my groups.
