Dad's old herters rifle

[GUNNNN]

I have a Herters rifle that my dad bought in 1968 while you could still mail order one. The trigger is awful, my question is does anyone make an aftermarket trigger or can someone fix this trigger so it's more user friendly. The gun is a 222 remington magnum and very accurate with 53 grain serria hollow points. Thanks in advance

Is it a mauser action? Remove the stock and take pictures.

I'm pretty sure it's a Mauser action but I'll get the pictures as soon as I get home

Does it look similar to this a U9 model? Answer to your question is yes.

The old U9's I believe were built by BSA, so there should be replacement triggers. Of course, most any smith or careful person can improve the trigger.

Pretty easy to tap out the old trigger and replace a new Timmy
