Marlin 2000 - .22 rifle question

We've been doing some research on this rifle model to use in 4H 3-position competitions and have heard of some conerns about the triggers. As they are modeled to be a biathlete's rifle (and thus a heavier trigger pull) I'm wondering if anyone has had much success in doing a trigger job on them to lighten them up?

Most biathletes run a trigger at the legal minimum which is 500 grams if this helps.

Sorry .... not being a smart___, but I had to run to my calculator
500 grams ~ 1.1 lbs

We replaced our with the "Rifle Basixs" set and are very happy.

The last one I saw on Gunbroker was running about $685 or so
They are kinda hard to find, so in the time you are waiting, keep stashing cash.
The main reason I use the Marlin is for my beginning to intermediate left handed shooters. For the righties in this experience group, I've been happy with the Izhmash CM-2's, but it is a RH stock only.
