My Browning A bolt synthetic stalker in .308 has the adjustable trigger. I have adjusted it to its lowest position but still over 3.5 lbs. What can I do to lower it just a little more .

Order a Timney spring kit for it.  They cost under 20.00 and it is extremely easy to change them out.  Will take a mechanically challenged person no more than 10 min.  I know cuz I am one and I did it with no problem.

You can purchase the spring direct.
On a hunting rifle I would not go much, if any, lower than the 3.5 lbs that you already have it adjusted to

As was mentioned earlier, installing the spring is really easy, and it makes a world of difference.  Every person that has felt my trigger since installing has commented on how nice it is, as well as asked what I had done.  When I tell them that I just changed out a spring, they are amazed.

I think I got mine from either midway or midsouth.  I put the light spring in 1st and it was, for me, too light.  I put the other spring in and ended up right at 3 pounds.  This for me is perfect.  Plus you can still adjust with the screw if needed.

If you have the Timney spring kit it comes with directions for the specific model rifle it was for.

I have an A-Bolt Medallion 223. I just put a Timney spring in it but I did not turn the small screw, I just put the medium spring in because the light spring seemed to light.
Can you adjust the pull also by turning the screw? If so, which way do you turn the screw to get a slightly lighter trigger pull? In? or Out?

The trigger is still fully adjustable using the screw.  If I remember correctly, you need to turn the screw in (clockwise) to lighten the pull.

that is correct, clockwise lightens it.
