I would start with a Volquartsen target hammer kit. Drop in part that makes a decent trigger pull for not a lot of money. Not hand fit quality but much more enjoyable over stock. Then shoot the gun and see how it does. Mine always were great plinking guns which is more fun than sitting at a bench.
I have a couple of custom 10/22’s with .920 barrels and while very accurate I still enjoy the simple carbine as it was the first rifle I bought for myself. I customized it with a plastic hand guard. Lol.
