Question for the 700 experts, I am shooting a couple year old model 700 in the 300 wsm, I am pretty sure it has the X-Mark Pro trigger on it, it is the Stainless barrell, synthetic stock. Well I shot a spike elk on saturday and luckilly the first shot took care of every operating organ in the animal, because I went for a follow up shot and it was like it was on safety the trigger wouldn't break. The safety was on fire but wouldn't move back to safety. In the excitment of it all I don't remember what actual got it back to safety I think I had to unload and pull the bolt out or something.
When I first bought the rifle brand new I had Yellowstone Gateway sports turn the trigger down to 2.5 to 3 lbs if I remember right. I don't know if that could have an effect or not. I have shot this gun a fair amount without issues until now but it makes me nervous to go deer hunting with it.
So is there a way that the recoil sets the safety internaly but not on the lever? Has you can tell I am not a gunsmith.
Thanks alot
