Adjusting the set trigger.

The screw behind the trigger on the left (in middle of triggers) is used to fine tune your set trigger),

It’s only a guess but the one behind the rear trigger is probably for adjusting the set trigger main spring tension.

As the folks have said... rotate the screw inwards, and when the trigger is "set" the trigger pressure needed to fire the rifle is lowered. Rotate the screw outwards, and the trigger pressure needed is increased. You can get the trigger so light that the sear doesn't hold, so be mindful of that.

I know what that screw is for - the other one is a mystery - it's against the bow in the trigger guard - on the right behind the rear trigger.

That’s the one I’m talking about.

That one is a stop on the spring so the rear trigger bar will not prevent the sear from being cocked without setting the triggers
