Remington's original announcement of the R1 indicated "a crisp 3.5-5 pound trigger pull."

So it could be that there's that much variation across their production. Their mean trigger pull is 4.25lbs, with +/- 0.75lbs.

If I'm not mistaken, two things affect trigger pull weight. The first is the 3-finger spring and the second are those little tabs at the front of the trigger bow. The spring can be adjusted by hand and the bow is adjusted with needle nose, or a light punch blow to the rear of it while installed. Not a major operation if you have some mechanical ability. Perhaps somebody with more expertise can add to that, or correct me?

Personally I'm also surprised they'd ship a trigger below 4.5lbs for liability, but I'm sure they have their ducks in a row. Congrats on getting a crisp one!
