Does anyone know where you can find an adjustable trigger for a Remington 742 Woodsmaster? I went to Timneys website and they do not list one.
A gunsmith here could not think of one. Mine is so hard to pull it throws your aim off.

I don't know much about the Remington 742 to be honest.
However -
Rifle Basix is a company that we buy a lot of Remington drop ins from. They make a very good trigger. I don't know if they have your specific model I am afraid.
I am afraid I don't know of anyone out there that is making a drop in if the folks at Rifle Basix aren't.
As a way of consulation, any quality gunsmith can do a decent trigger job on the stock trigger and improve it for you.
Best of luck -
JD

Remington has a VERY adjustable trigger from the factory, especially in early models of rifles before the 'Lawyer Proof' triggers came out...
The 742 is a little more complicated, more like working on a shot gun trigger than a rifle trigger, but it can be done with relative ease.

This is just personal opinion,
But I would limit the amount of money I put into a 742 since Remington factory has discontinued ALL dealings with the 724 (some liability issue), and spare parts are scarce even with places like 'Gun Parts Inc.'...
Make sure you use a good lube in the guides/rails inside because if you don't, they will chatter and cause problems.
I have had two 742's, one in .308 and one in .30-06 and both shot very well, but both developed cycling problems and were very hard to fix.
