Your model probably has the wire spring trigger. I have no problem with them as a hunting trigger. Some .040 wire bent as a replacement spring and keep enough preload to ensure the trigger pushes against the sear so it does not bump-fire. always use the safety when carrying loaded.
That model came from the factory with a standing ejector and was considered a control round feed. The bolt head was open on the bottom and had a slot for the ejector. The ejector dragging on the bottom of the bolt made it a little rough on cycling but not too bad.
It is a large shank(1.125, at least in pitch diameter) thread. Meaning if you change barrels you will need to go big. Bolthead swaps are easy.
