Very commonly done, and there are plenty of threads about trigger mods. There are several different ways to go about it, but all pretty much boil down to either cautiously clipping the spring or replacing it with a lighter one, and all are simple to do. Well worth trying before shelling out big money for a replacement trigger. My .223 and .270 triggers were easily transformed from a rather creepy 7-8 pounds down to a crisp 3.5-4 pounds. Some folks will still go for a replacement, and I won't say the replacement triggers aren't even better, but a $2, 15-minute modification can give amazing improvement.
