Remington 700 Trigger

Can the factory trigger be set to 2.5# safely ?
Or should I buy a Timney?

The OLD style (walker) trigger can be adjusted that low safely with a new spring.
The new style (x mark) with the smooth trigger face and the tension screw in the trigger shoe won't go that low.

Friend had a Remington redone. It became unsafe and would fire when it wanted to... he switched to a jewel

Is this a bench gun or a hunting gun where reliability of firing and the safety are needed?

Thanks Randall,
It is the old style Walker.
New aftermarket spring ?

Thanks,
Got it safely to #2.5 with factory spring but going to get the new spring anyway.
