Buy an aftermarket trigger and be done with it. Trigger Tech, Bix&Andy or Timney, pick one. Jewell still in business?
You can get down to 2lbs - or less - safely with no creep or over travel. Timney will likely be least expensive but everybody has their preferences. All are safer and will give you a better pull than factory.
Put a Timney on my 788 (NOT the same trigger as a 700). $115 delivered (pre-Pandemic), 1.5 lbs with some HBN lube, zero creep. And the safety clicks on / off far more positively than the factory trigger. Bounce the recoil pad off the floor from 24 in, trigger holds AND pull is unchanged.
