Ruger Experts! 96/17 trigger pull.

Hello all!

I need a Ruger expert. I have a Ruger 96/17 in 17HMR and it's a blast to shoot. There's one problem: The trigger pull is almost ungodly heavy. I have no way to measure it but I would venture a guess that it's in the neighborhood of 7lbs.

Taking it apart, I filed down the seer and lubricated it, but this only reduced the weight marginally.

Ruger experts!
1) How can I lighten the trigger pull further?
2) Does anyone know an aftermarket trigger which will help me?
3) Do triggers made for 10/22 work in the 96/17 series?

Thanks,
Joshua
