My X Mark Pro trigger is adjusted to about 3lbs and it is great. No, it is not the best trigger. I have a Jewell and a couple of custom jobs, and they are slightly better, but not that much better. For a factory trigger on a $600 rifle, I don't think you will get any better (I will say on average, as maybe Saltydog got a bad one). Bad is a relative term. To me bad is a stock AR-15 trigger, stock 10/22, or the my stock Marlin 925 rifle trigger. If it compares to one of those, then there is something wrong with it.
