Don't give up on the old trigger just yet, there are some things you can do to improve it quite a bit. Here are a couple of links to info on what and how to do it.

The trigger pull weight is controlled to a great extent by the straight wire spring you see along the side of the trigger. You can replace it with a piece of music wire of .045 diameter, and can get that from http://www.ebay.com/itm/110421530557...84.m1439.l2649 and if you do, specify the size you want in the note to the seller. This particular seller has a list of wire by size and I ordered the size 20, which is the .045 diameter wire. If you search the archives, you can find where some of the guys just buy a buzz bait from walmart and cut a piece of that wire to replace the spring. The new triggers on the Stevens 200 are like the axis trigger and are very difficult to work with for me. I bought the Rifle Basix from Jim at NSS and it worked great on the newer 200 build.
