I've had a bunch of the newer Model 700 and 7's with the new trigger....X-Mark Pro, and have only had one that I could adjust to the 3 pound setting that I like on a hunting rifle. I have had some others come close, but that was with that danged screw backed out about all the way, and I didn't like that. I usually just replace with a Timney and call it done. But, I did try a spring from Ernie and it made a huge difference. They don't cost much, under $10.
