New A.A.MPR stock on old S400

I wanted a rifle dedicated for the use of indoor silhouette competition, so I picked up a used Air Arms S400in .22 caliber. I installed a regulator, dropped the power to 19 FPE, and bought a MPR stock to replace the sporter style stock it came with. The stock just needed some inletting and hole bored for the gauge. The barrel band did not fit my rifles shroud, si it needed to be opened up a bit with the help of a friends Bridgeport and an end mill. I like the ivory poplar stock and the gun balances very well. The S400 was the xtra fac model so the barrel, shroud, and tube are quite long but the overall length of the rifle is only 43 inches (over an inch shorter than my D34 pro compact) and weighs 9 lbs. with current scope. I get 87ish shots from 220 bar fill till it falls of the regulator set at 125 bar.
I had a chance to shoot it a bit today and it shoulders very well for off hand shooting. I still need to work on the trigger and I haven't even cleaned the barrel yet
I'm getting rid of all my excuses, looks like poor scores will be solely my fault...

I'm going to get into the trigger tonight. Right now it has a fair amount of creep in the second stage, grindy creep too. Does anyone have a few good tips for for making that second stage wall a super crisp break. I've poked around a bit finding a few bits of info on the AA S series triggers but any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

Clearly not much interest in this subject but I found a helpful write up on s400 or s410 trigger adjustments, polishing, and useful tips, so I'll post it here for future searches and seekers.
