My new Stevens had the worst trigger I think any of my rifles ever had. Now it's one of the best. Here's what I did. I took the trigger off, and lightly brushed off the finish of the engagement grove with 600 wet dry, till it looked shiney, then I took a flat piece of metal and wraped 600 wet dry around it and gave a few stokes to the sear. Then I polished both surfaces with Flitz, then aplyed a dab of Flitz as a lube and reassembled. That's it, no chance of messing things up. Zero preceved creep (and I'm fussy) light pull, and set the overtravel to min. Honest it works. :)
