When doing a lot of gunsmithing in the 70's and 80's I did a lot of work on the
700 rifles. I was able to work with some very good gunsmiths in them years and was taught to never take a 700 trigger below 3 lb. Many of the issues Remington had with their triggers was this very issue(IMHO). If you need below that get a trigger designed for it. In my opinion unless your gun is a match rifle it does not need to be below 3lb. Especially if for hunting. Remington sealed those screws for a reason.
