Howa says that "technically" their triggers are pre-set from the factory and not adjustable, but they just put some type of epoxy over the adjustment screws that you have to scrape off. Just make sure when you adjust it that you give it a good safety-test by slamming the bolt shut and droppping the butt of the stock against the floor, do both several times, with the safety off (rifle unloaded of course!). If neither of those actions causes the rifle to dry-fire, you should be good to go.

The newer Howa two-stage trigger is great as-is for hunting, but for long range target shooting the lighter the better IMO.
