This is the XB series trigger, but basicly the same as the 700.

If you "open the seals" on the 700 trigger adjustment is the same. The XB-40 is just more smooth and can be set lighter. My trigger is about a 2 and a half pound pull. Now that is "dangerously" light and I WANTED it to be a 2 pound but if I slammed my bold closed too hard it would activate the sear, relesing the striker, sent the firing pin forward and reslut in said "BOOM". I made it as light as I felt safe to bet someone's life on it. Unlike sport shooters or hunters I allways keep in mind that any thing I do or fail to do may be brought up in a court room someday. I trust the 700 & Remington. This rifle has been used to save lives as well as take them for a long time. Like I'm sure the long rang guys on this site will tell you "lighter is better". So you have to find the right ballance between accuricy and safety. The heavy triggers may be safer, but as you are pulling them you feel your body react. You twitch, start to drift off target durring pull, heart beat pulse jumps the cross hair and / or or start running out of O2 and get tunnel vission before the round gets sent. Whats a HEAVY trigger? You guys who have STOCK AR15's... go grab your rifle. Clear it, inspect that the chamber is empty then clear it again. With the bolt forward place the cleared weapon on "fire". Now HANG it on your finger by the trigger mussle down. Most stock AR's have factory triggers that are HEAVIER than the weight of the rifle and the hammer will not drop. Try and make a percise shot with that beast. It's made that way for dumb privates, not for pros.

Ditto on the description...

I have used a varriant of the 700 for 19 years professionally as an ARMY Sniper and as a Law Enforcent marksman. The Trigger in the Army M24SWS (Sniper Weapon System) WAS adjustible and as student in sniper school were were taught to adjust them to the way we liked. My rifle I carry now is equiped with Remington 40-XB trigger, even more "touchy" than the stock 700 part. In the thousands of rounds I have fired I have had 2 "accidental discharges" of the rifle. Not as much "accidents" as much as a total failure of the "trigger actuator" ei: my dumb ass not being smart or safe. First was as a 19y/o fresh Sniper Grad on a stalk exercise with a chambered, cocked, safety on M24SWS being pulled out of my drag bag. The safe was bumpped to "off" and the trigger bumped something on the bag or the ground and promptly went BOOM! with my hand on the barrel.(good thing it WAS a blank round) This taught me 3 things: 1- either allways haul this stick around with an empty chamber (condition 3) or 2-a chambered round and de-cocked (condition 2).In addition 3-I learned that push-ups, flutter kicks and moutian climbers in full ghillie suit really suck in 90 degree heat. The Second AD was at a range, police training day, firing practice as a lefty. I was NEVER comfortble doing this, but it was the exersize. Range went "hot", I slapped my bolt shut with an open hand, the way I had done thounsands of times, but the differnt angle I slapped it closed at was JUST enough for my middle finger to tap the 40-XB trigger and send a live one down range. Lession: when I'm forced to shoot the old girl lefty, closed fist, not open palm. My point is this, in all the years, countless hours, several countries, dozens of missions and SWAT call outs, the rifle never faild to to what it was made to do. IF THE SAFETY IS OFF AND THE TRIGGER IS ACTIVATED IT FIRES! This is typical NBC anti-gun propaganda, nothing new there.

60 days to finish this bike a few weekend hours at a time. Kid comes back on leave Dec 18th

This weekend's update...

Forks clean & done in black...

Front all put back together...

With that done I clened and polished the header and started welding up where the slip on is gonna go.

I'm starting to like this 'lil bike.

Take her to the gunshow!

Parts cleaned up and back together. Just in time to rip off the front forks this weekend to do the same.

Some small progress, got the swingarm repainted. Thats about it. Maybe tomorrow.

Oh for sure its a china bike, but I suspect most riders would "upgrade" before it was in need of serrious work. Kinda like the old Yugo cars, run it till it's scrap.

Been wondering if it was gonna show up in US dealers. Great to know that SOMEONE is bringing in some "standard" bikes....

Sporty looking. Might be a good first ride for some.

So, for lack of better options, I pulled the marzocchi reat shocks, cleaned them up, and pulled the rear wheel and swing arm, This swing arm will need completely sanded down or blasted. I can't get any paint to stick with out a reaction. It will be down to metal friday when I get off work. I wanna smack the guy who jacked this bike up before she got it...

It started out as a race tail of a 96 r6 all fiberglass. It's shape was right to I started chopping.

After weeks stuck at work & being down with a respitory infection I was able to bake some progress on this thing.

Cleaned up the engine and shot some engine enamel on at, pulled & cleaned the carbs ( they were NASTY), got them back on.

The fiberglass tail is comming along, still messing with the mount for the tail light.

Yes, just the cap, just the very top where the valce cover bolts attach it. I will get it squared away.

It just runs to damn good. I'm confident I will work it out and have it running. Not alot done on it so far this weekend, Been changing a CV shaft in the wife's Blazer... It sux, rather be workin on the bike.

Hope the rest of the motor comes out as nice....

Why YES! That it does.

Glad to see you are ok man welcome to the deer killer club!

+1. Glad your ok the the number crunchers are taking care of you. Deer incounters are a real pain.

No work done durring the week, In Fort Jackson

First Squad Leader, it's her bike.

PV2 Persing with Mon & Dad.

Got a bit done on it today. Picked up a Honda exhaust & midpipe in SC at a salvage yard for $20. (Blackbird high side?) Cut the can down to about 10 in & think the mid needs shortened a bit to fit right.

Got the valve cover off and cleaned and painted in engine enamel. The gasket is in great shape, I plan to use some sealant and use it again.

now the down side. I found this when I pulled the cover. Low side, cam abouve the Yamaha #2 I think.

Tell her congrats on the CCW and new pistol, The wife has her's and carries a .40 SigPro

I can get it a few inchers lower. There is a Top Bottom to the light and the mount it either verry tall or moved verry far forward. I'm still messing with it. Or I will be when I get back.

So i do some final fab on the front of the bike and start to clean it uo with some degreaser. Well, better to find this out now than later. Some moron must have used some bargan flat black on the motor and frame cause it began to shivel up and become a real mess. Hours later I get the majority of it off the bike and I see the extent of dammage this 4000mile bike took. A ton of the bike was paited of over with some rattlecan crap. plugs and plug wires, body pannels, carbs, the works.

Looks like the swing arm has lost some finish as well.

And of course the tank is a wreck, full of rust, bondo all over it. It was cavered in several coats of rattlecan paint so I just just started stripping it so I can start over. I leave for Ft Jackson in the morning.... This is gonna take a while.

Stated to tear some stuff down and clean the bike. This may take a bit longer than I thought.

I would if I had something on hand that would fit, I dig the lite, but it does have a TALL mount on it. Im gonna mess around with it more when I get back in town.
