U can also order one of remingtons yellow colored replacement springs that are are 3lbs.don't know what the original in 870s were as I didt measure before changing them. If I had to guess I would say around 6-8lbs.I will say these are well worth doing,install in minutes,and are very inexpensive.

The Patriot spring probably cut my # of pull at least in half.  It still has a good bit of creep, but it's MUCH better.  If you want your trigger to be more like a rifle, go with the Timney... I just haven't decided to fork up that much dough yet.

Swampfox - Please excuse my ignorance, lol. I bought a Remington VersaMax and love it. Instructions state trigger can't be adjusted. I wouldn't mind if trigger pull was a little lighter, do you know if a replacement spring is available for this particular gun, & if so, what it might cost? I just got the gun last November, so I'm hoping I can get my a turkey with it this year. Just got my Carlson pro bore .665 choke tube in today, need to patter it with hevi-13's. Thanks

I found them on e-bay, they were like 4.00 ea and they were rated at 3 lbs. Took about 45 seconds to do the install
