Rick, keep the original trigger, it is easily smoothed up. Trigger pull is easily remedied with a slightly lighter spring.
Craig boddington wrote about cutting off a coil on a 77 Ruger spring, which is fkn stupid, as the trigger has no tension on it when the bolt is open, because the spring is now too short and not properly flat.
On the newer hawkeyes, I take out the factory spring and articulate it till it's bottomed out a dozen times. It softens but doesn't loose it's length. Always puts the trigger at exactly 2.5-2.75 lbs.
