The new replacement for the 982VS is the XT22MVSR...
which gives you the XT-22's Pro-fire trigger that came from the X-7 series...
and a few other bells & whistles...all shown on the Marlin webpage...
Of course, the XT22MVSR trigger can be installed on older Marlin versions, like the 25M, 25MN, 25MB, 25MG, 882, 925M, 982VS, & 982VS-CF

So if you find a hot deal on one of the above, you won't feel bad in picking up an XT trigger later on and having a G-smith install it...
I've got a 25MN, but I worked on the trigger until it was so sweet I just can't see replacing it...
so I'm looking for a sweet deal on the 882/982 to mod like crazy...w/ the MVSR trigger & a Boyd's laminate stock...
or I'll just pick up an XT22MVSR...just depends on my mood and the deals I find...lol
