shrike,

A lot of 99's do have mediocre triggers, but in the older rifles (pre-million serial numbers) they're REALLY easy to fix. I've probably done a dozen myself. I found out how from a fine book on home gunsmithing by Roy Dunlap. You don't even have to take the trigger apart, just remove the buttstock.

The post-mil triggers aren't as easy to work on, but they can be helped considerably as well.
