Try this link. The Stevens 200 is practically the same as a Savage 110.

The link posted by Dave in WV is the same link I used to adjust a trigger on a M110 and it's very simple.

on new stevens 200's you can only adjust the weight of pull. With carefull attention paid to maintaining some tension on the return spring.



DO NOT ATTEMPT to adjust below 3.5lbs

You can go lower than 3.5# if you change the trigger wire to a lighter .041 music wire. I can usually get at least down to 3#, which is plenty good for a hunting rifle.

I have to say, I just replaced it with a Timney trigger.  Sure it cost more, but its easier.  Now good trigger. :)
