Model 70

I found it completely adjustable. Yeah, it's not as convenient as simply turning a screw, but how can you expect to adjust the pull weight, and over-travel, with just one simple screw? Back in the day we would carefully read instructions and be able to do this. Now, you've got Youtube, and it's getting harder to find a late-model pick-up truck without an automatic transmission.
 
"...does it have a adjustable trigger?..." It should, but it doesn't really matter as there are all kinds of aftermarket triggers for M70's.
"...not as convenient as simply turning a screw..." It's a nut and easy to do but still not exactly convenient. Lotta trial and error fiddling involved.
Like Scorch says, "if you don't know how to adjust the trigger, see a gunsmith."
 
As I remember, it only adjusted the amount of engagement.
No, the screw and jam nuts adjust weight of pull and overtravel. Engagement was never adjustable.

The original Winchester Model 70 trigger was recognized as one of the best hunting rifle triggers on the market. You could adjust weight of pull and overtravel. If you know how, you can adjust engagement as well, but it is a bit more permanent, so don't try if you don't know how.
