The standard 700 trigger works well at 2-1/2lbs to 3 lbs.

I agree. The 700 factory trigger is super. Their triggers are easily adjusted. You can do it yourself, or take it to a gunsmith and have it done. I had a Rem 700 PSS that I had the trigger taken to 2 lbs. This was a tactical use rifle. There is no need to replace it, unless you just want to spend the money.

Yes you can replace it with the new X mark trigger. Call Remington. But why? Had my Remington model 700xcr in 270wsm with the older trigger adjusted to 1.5# and it is super.

300ultramagshooter; Do you know how many pounds of pull your trigger is set at now? I purchased a Remington 700XCR in .30-06 one year before the X-Mark trigger came out, just like you did. I was concerned about like yourself and ended up taking it to a local gunsmith. He checked it and measured it at 4 pounds and he told me that it broke nice and crisp and that I should try it out at the range before I did anything. He also mentioned that this trigger was his personal favorite. I took his advise and after shooting 1/2" groups @ 100 yards with off-the-shelf ammo, I decided there was no need to have it adjusted. I also hunt with gloves on (Northern Minnesota), and 4 pounds seems to work out nice.

I'm not sure what its set at now but my friend has his set at 3.0lbs. and my trigger feels alot harder to pull

When I got my 700 PSS the trigger from the factory was almost 7 lbs. You will need to have it lightened up. THe Rem 700 trigger is amongst the best factory triggers available. Some might argue the best. At any rate, it is easily adjustable. You can lighten it up, and have any creep taken out. it can be adjusted to break CRISP at whatever pull you choose.

Try it yourself before taking to a gunsmith. Its not that hard. Here is a site with the instructions.
