I have JM’s and Remington Marlins. I don’t recall any that had poor triggers. I guess I never worried much about it.
I think my Winchester 1894 32 Special’s trigger and my 4 digit serial number 1892 Winchester may have the best triggers for lever guns that I own. But the Marlins and my 99 are not objectionable.

I prefer classic.
