          why not just do it yourself. It's pretty easy on the factory trigger.

            Thanks Guys.
            It looks easy, But I don't have a poundage gauge.
            I don't want to spend the money for gauge to do one rifle.

              All you really have to do with a 700 trigger is follow the instructions on the link pthfndr posted. It's just about idiot-proof. No, you won't get a poundage number without buying the gauge, but you can dry-fire until you find a feel you like.
              If you're not a resident of California, please don't waste your time trying to sell handguns here. A: your handgun is not on the approved list, and can't be sold here or B: We can already get it here with less hassle.

                Easy to do yourself. But if you don't want to, check with Antioch Armory, I bet Brian could do it at a good price.

                    Hmm, spend money on one gauge or spend money one time paying someone..what's the difference? A gauge will cost you $35-$65 depending on make and model. A gunsmith will run you at least $50 or more to do the job.

                    Now, depending on how light you want the trigger, you maynot find someone to do it for you due to the liability issues. That is why all factory guns are set so high when it comes to trigger pull weight.

                      The other thing is that a trigger job is not the place to start your gunsmithing on. Trigger work requires a pretty thorough knowledge level because of the safety aspects.

                        You could change out the factory tigger for an aftermarket one . I love the Jewel triggers I have and they aren't that hard to adjust. You can order them for many wieghts from 1.5 oz. for bench work up to more than the factory setting for your lawyer.
