Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles X Bolt adjustable" lol" triggers

I used this function to get it to 4-4.5# and that 's all she would do. Is there any way to get a decent trigger on these?

My featherweight has an "adjustable trigger" factory set at about 5 lbs. It has a bunch of dried goop in the adjustment screw to deter any adjustments. I can't get the goop out of the allen screw to adjust it.

My x-bolt adjusted down to 3.5 lbs. Called Browning about the goop on the adjusting screw, and they said to just clean it off. I am happy with the pull on my rifle, but think I just got lucky. My gunsmith that I use and trust, that works on a lot of guns said they rarely go under 4 lbs. his talk to Browning, they told him that is as low as they go, even though they claim 3 lbs.

had same problem ,adjusted it like the old trigger ,could only get down 4 pound ,orderd a new weight adjusment spring ,from i think ED the gunsmith ,,google it ,got it down to 2 and 3/4

Go trade it for a Tikka T3

Yep, hard to beat a "Plastikka" for the money, if you can live with a plastic bolt shroud and trigger guard go for it!........Hb

Which Ed is it? I googled it and it pulled up several.

I think he's talking about Ernie. He stopped selling the springs because he was tired of talking guys through putting them back together.

I had same problem on my X-bolt , bad trigger with no adjustment range. It's now someone else's.
My new Tikka is much better, lotsa plastic but not that hideous scrap metal bolt handle. And 1/2 inch 5 shot groups at 100yd. ...

:-D Tikka ...Nice

Yep - toss that pos in the first waste basket you can find and then install another (read: any other) make of trigger on that rifle..

You'll be miles ahead...

..High Bean is right it was Ernie ,mut have got it mixed up with Ed famous for Ed's red cleaner

if i get anouther rem 700 ,and the trigger doesnt adjust as well as i like ,i will get a timney or shilen ,wont fuss with these new triggers anymore ....like the old ones better ,i knew how to adust it to get a good break and 3 pound pull on it

On my a bolt I put a $16 Basix spring in and I have it at 2 1/2 lbs. people say negative things about Browning rifles, but I have several Remingtos and Tikka....I have bought one used Browning and it out shoots ALL of them!

good barrels do heal many sins...

Kinds odd, I have 3 xBolts and they all came with nice 3lb triggers. 1" or better groups with a variety of ammo.

I have two of recent manufactured date and both are hedious with the Medallion about like my Winchester 88. They do shoot very well however, as every Browning I own does.
