Go for it. The 917's are the same rifle in different stocks and blued or stainless steel. I have a new 917vs, grandson has two year old 917v. The new trigger is no better than the old one, heavy pull, sloppy feel. Both are very accurate despite the triggers. The trigger can be made much better for almost nothing or you can change to a Rifle Basix for about 80 bucks. I like to to tinker with stuff so I shimmed my trigger and sear to get rid of the side slop and have pull down to 2 1/2 pounds and installed a trigger stop. It's a sweet shooting rifle.
