I have to wonder if your 1980s k series Stevens trigger wasn't more easily adjusted than the Model 200 Stevens of circa 2K. I had tested my Mod 200 triggers with a T gauge several times as I continued to buff the contact surfaces but ended up installing Riflebasix-1 triggers in my Mod 200s.
If they had kept the old Stevens rifles like yours exactly the same till today I wouldn't mind at all.
As the years went by Stevens tinkered with the 200 by changing the receiver base for the same style mounts and adding a Tupperware stock and changing the amount of milling to the trigger. Lastly they matted the surfaces vs the old bluing. Geez I miss the bluing.
Though the older wood stocks are more esthetically pleasing the tupp stock was lighter with the goal being to lower production costs. Finally they decided to make the Axis model which I never took to. They lack that Stevens class.

There is literally no creep to this trigger at all. I may play around with lightening tension after my dura-coating process by replacing the "rod-like" spring with a pc of piano wire. The whole assembly came out by only removing -2- pins, the silver one on the trigger itself and the mushroom head one holding it all to the action.
By your pictures, that trigger appears to be a Savage 4-screw. For a factory trigger it is pretty darn decent. I have several 3 and 4 screw triggers on rifles and a couple in reserve for future builds. The newer Stevens 200's (until the last year or so which now have an Axis style trigger) were coming out with that same basic trigger, but with only the one screw for adjusting the safety.

We want pictures after that duarcoat job is done.
