trigger job on a #1

got a 1998 #1 in 30-06 recently. trigger pull is not bad, and fine for the hunting rifle it is, but i'd like a little bit lighter pull, maybe 2lbs. i have done a few on remington 700s but never a #1. is this a common practice, easy to do, never do it..........??? thanks

i tried 3x to post a pic. each time says too large a pic, even when i cropped it way down. and its way smaller than the 2 pics of the gun above. so.....i dunno. sure would like to put one on though. was a small tasty sow. one i got friday was 250 lbs or so boy pig.
