I think that a Bold or Timeny is worth buying sooner than later.

I like to change the bolt shrouds to the Military type, install a side swing safety and do away with the sear-blocker they come with. You can then adjust the MK10 trigger to a very nice pull and not worry the safety is "not holding much". Once you remove the safety from the MK10 trigger the rest of it is as good as a Temney or Bold.

Occasionally you can get one acceptable, depending on your criteria......

I've only messed with one, but it was easy to get a nice, light, and creep-free pull without a lot of trouble. Couldn't say they would all be so easy.

Won a 204 Ruger VTR in a drawing several years ago, my first 700 with an X Mark trigger. Adjusted it down to a very crisp pull, and despite shooting out the original barrel and getting quite a way into its replacement, the trigger keeps working exactly the same way, with no trouble.

The X Mark without the screw through the trigger hasn't been to bad. I have one and adjusted one for a friend a couple weeks ago. Mine is at three pounds and crisp with just a very slight amount of overtravel. His came out with even less overtravel. Over travel doesn't really bother me. The X Mark Pro with the screw on my Mtn Rifle adjusted to about the same but I did buy a Timney to replace it just because of all the stories about that trigger breaking through the screw hole. For a hunting rifle I like the X Mark just fine, almost as much as the original Walker triggers. I haven't taken one apart to try smoothing it up though so that could change.

Get a proper trigger.

They seem fine.
I do not like the screw in the face of the trigger though.
Maybe it does not bother others.
Not a fan of trigger dinguses.

The new ones have no screws sticking out and they adjust just fine. I have had excellent luck with them so far. Still not a walker trigger though.

I did not know that they hid the adjuster screw.
In general...I dont not prefer the new crop of easy adjustable triggers.

Get a proper trigger. Easy to remove and put Jard guts in. I did that with my 22-250 VLS. Of course I haven't used the safety on that even once that I remember.

I had two of them, after trying to "fix" them, ended up with Timneys.

On my 22-250 (2003 rifle) VLS I have a 9oz trigger, on the Remington 700 VSSF I have a 16oz trigger. Two levers over four. Plus the Jard is much cheaper at $62. Assembly required.

One 1 in the safe right now, a 308 SPS SS I bought cheap when SW shut down here almost a decade ago. It's 3# w/minimal travel. I don't shoot that rifle a lot myself, but, anyone who picks it up can shoot it fairly well and the adjusted X-Mark trigger is leaps-and-bounds ahead of what most folks are used to. It's been nearly a decade since I bought it but nothing stands out in my memory regarding trigger adjustment so I suspect I spent the better part of 7-10min getting it adjusted to my liking and put it back together.
No doubt there are at least 1/2dz aftermarket triggers as well as a pre-X-mark that would be "better", but, the X-mark in that 308Win certainly isn't going to be the cause of someone not killing a critter.
