I would like to know if the 700 SPS has an external adjust trigger or if you need to remove the stock and adjust or no adjustment at all. Thanks

they have changed a lot over the last few years. we need more info on when yours was manufactured. I bought a 700 SPS Varmint this winter NIB thinking it had the user exernal adjustable trigger but when it did not have that feature I contacted Remington and mine was made in '07. It has the Xmark trigger which is adjustable but not externaly. The new Xmark Pro is external adjustable.

I ordered one today from a local gun shop in a stainless and they couldn't give an answer. Then I talked to two different dealers that I do business with,one said they have the external adjustment and the other said that they weren't adjustable. That's why I asked the question. Anyway, I had the clerk state on the order sheet "must have adjustable trigger". I hope that will bring out a newer model. Thanks 03mossy

I wouldn't give it to much worry, my Xmark trigger is great! Very very crisp! so which ever one they send you will be fine.

2009 is when they went to the external adjustment. There is a guy Ernie the Gunsmith that sells a lighter spring for the Xmark and Xmark Pro (they are different). Install that and dry fire it about 500 times and you will have a sweet trigger.

I have a 700 VLS in 6mm Rem. and a 700 SPS Varmint in .223. The VLS has the internally adjustable Xmark trigger and the SPS-V has the Xmark Pro trigger that can be adjusted externally. Both are fine just as they came from the box and I've not touched either.

My trigger came very crisp, but i wanted it a bit lighter. it was at just over 4lbs from the factory, I just picked it up from the gun****h and its right at 2lbs...Perfect!
