Stevens 512 0/U trigger

I recently purchased my first O/U. A Christmas present for my youngest daughter who is getting pretty darn good at Sporting Clays. Good enough to warrant an upgrade from her 20ga 870 pump.

I think the Stevens 512 will fit her very well, but the trigger pull has a lot to be desired. You almost have to stand on it to fire. Is a spring kit commercially available for this gun? Or is a trigger sear job required to make an improvement?

I have installed a number of trigger spring kits for handguns, but I know next to nothing about O/U shotguns. I have been quoted $55 per sear.($110 total) Is that reasonable? Any Recommendations .............

This my first post on this shotgun Forum. Please advise if the post should be moved to the Smithy Forum.

Thanks
 
There's not much you can do; if shooting it some more doesn't help, a visit to the smith is in order.

At it's price point, it is not going to be something without issues here and there.
