Remington 700?

That looks exceptionally similar to the 40X trigger. The adjustment screw is just forward of the bolt release lever (which is just in front of the top of the trigger)

Can't see a screw, is it a stock off job?
Thanks Rory.

If it works well just leave it be. First rule of gunsmithing!

So, got some shooting done and it certainly want to do well.
I tested my current loading and two others and it shot the lot very well considering I was shooting from tripod shooting sticks with my back against my car!

It's all been a waste really as I have to repeat the experience as the laser is way off center. I thought initially I would get away with it but alas no.
So shimming later and loading!

The trigger is ok, it can creep once but it doesn't influence the shot, it breaks quite light but safely.
Anyway here is a video of the second shot at a 167 yard rock. That's two rounds.

I'd say that it looks like a 40X. The adjuster screw is, or should be, just ahead of the bolt release lever. Yours is possibly hidden by the magazine floor plate release catch.

Mine is visible, it's at a very light setting (screwed most of the way out)

Excellent job Smelly - Good luck with the finest chambering granted to man.
By sheer coincidence I too checked my zero on a rock yesterday at 160 yards - second shot it split in two; additional proof (if any were needed) of the biblical performance of the twipple….

No screw Rory!

Come on, take it out of the stock and get a proper picture of it, the suspense is killing me.

I'm just going to shoot it and see how we go on.

You started the thread and asked about the trigger you have, you’ve removed the action screws and trigger guard, why not take a photo to enable us to ID it correctly? You’ve already compromised the zero you had by doing that.

I've had a very busy and rushed day.
I'm fine with the trigger and it's nothing that can not be continued in the future.
Try to stay calm.

Anyhow, I've got the sight centered better and the laser in view at 20x.
But I will have to improve it some more over the summer. Which I don't mind as I have a range 300 yards from my door.

All zeroed and ready for service.
