Can the trigger be lightened on this gun or do I need to put a different trigger in it to get it down to about 3.5 lbs? If need to replace, and rec's on a brand.

Rob Roberts offers trigger work.  I've heard really good things about it.  I plan to send my SBE2 to him after season to have it done...

Rob Roberts did the trigger on my BPS. It's 3.5 lbs and probably the best mod I've done.

Mine was real heavy. I cleaned the trigger group with gun scrubber and it did wonders.  Think it is about 5 lbs now where it was probably over 10lbs.

 Clean the trigger group, oil, pull trigger 500 times. Clean and re-apply oil. Works wonders

Good advice. Dry firing works wonders to clean up any rough spots and really makes it smooth and lighter.

On most firearms this is what I do before bothering with a trigger job.  For a shotgun you don't need a 2lb trigger pull, you aren't trying to thread a needle with your bullet at 60 yards.

I have some .22 LR with 1.5# pulls that I love to shoot at 50 yards and hit dimes all day long, I have some pistols with 2.5# pulls, but I cant see a reason for a full out trigger job unless the trigger was atrocious.  Also, you can probably do your own trigger job. It usually amounts to some spring work, and polishing contact surfaces. 

Unless you are getting into sear/hammer cuts, then you need to KNOW what you are doing or have a qualified, reputable smith do it. I do most all my own stuff, but I don't do cuts.  That's a good way to make the gun go full auto.

why send it off to get a trigger job....William and sumtoy will give you the cold hard truth on that. you can purchase an aftermarket lighter spring for very cheap. I did a lot of oiling on my 870 trigger, and bought a 4lb spring for 8 bucks online.
