Anyone know of a aftermarket trigger for a Rem 788.

Today I bought about a mint 788 in .222 as I have seen. No blue wear on the locking lugs, barre is pristine. I have had 5 of these over the years in various calibers, this one has the worst trigger. I floated the barrel and bedded the action with Brownells steel bed this evening. Was wondering if their is any aftermarket triggers available, before I tore this one apart to work on it. Been a few years but I was able to get them to a decent trigger, this one is about #4.5.

Timney did make a trigger for 788's.
Canjar also made a trigger for 788's YEARs ago.

It’s a pretty nice trigger too if a #1 1/2 suits you. I had to remove a little wood in the stock of my 22-250 to make it work.

There is info on the internet on how to add screws and make the factory trigger adjustable.

Here is a link to some of that information to make one fully adjustable.

Just be aware that despite being advertised as 3-way adjustable, it aint. No adjustment for overtravel.
