    I have a Remington 700 VLS and i don’t know if I can have the trigger pull adjusted or if I need a new trigger? Can someone help me out with this one?

    Yes you should be able to. I have the Remington 700 ADL in .223 All you have to do is take the stock off and on the front of the trigger there are two screws. Not for sure what one i turned i believe it was the top and that made my trigger pull way lighter. I like it that light so you dont jerk the trigger or flinch so to speak.

    DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS ON YOU OWN!!!
    This is nothing to mess with if you do not know what you are doing if it was me I would take it to a gun smith.

    Steve has a point.

    I have a Winchester Model 70 in 243. I was told how to adjust the pull and I did…my foot dropped into a hole while I was walking and that jolt set the firing pin off. Now the rifle was unloaded at the time…hearing the pin drop…kinda shook me up. I recocked the bolt and hit the stock of the gun with my hand. Click!

    I’ve found that the pull doesn’t have to be set that light!

    3 pound MINIMUM!!!
    3.5 is what most varmint and target heads shoot. Unless you have the proper scale, I wouldn’t mess with it.
