Looking for advice or a known solution, I have read a lot of maybe this or try that and this but nothing concrete.
Thanks for your time.

I’m no expert, but I am an FN SPR owner. It’s essentially a Winchester M70 action so triggers should be compatible.
My SPR trigger is pretty actually very good. I bought it used so not sure if the first owner adjusted it or that’s how it came from FN.

I’d give my left nut for a quality, field-reliable two-stage for my FN SPR (same for my CZ 457s now that the other guy quit making them). I MUCH prefer two-stage triggers to single stage. For as many M70s and CZ 457s there are, I’m confused as to why Timney (or someone else) hasn’t done them yet, but maybe there isn’t enough deman. Which blows my mind. Because two-stage is superior. 
Without much info, you didn't mention what's wrong with your trigger or what specifically you're looking for, we won't know exactly what to suggest. However, I own 2x SPRs and 2x m70s. All four are rocking a McCarbo trigger spring on the factory trigger. Almost every m70/spr owner will tell you the factory trigger is pretty damn, especially when using this spring. I recommend it.

Do the SPRs use pre 08 or post 08 kit?

Works excellent in the SPR.
Thanks for the replies, I never received notifications. I was able to play with the factory trigger and get it down to 16 OZ.
Please do yourself a favor Sir, and drop test that rifle before you put your safety on the line.
You can definitely get the pull weight low on those...but I've found in my (3) SPRs that two of them will drop the firing pin if I drop the cocked rifle (off safe) from 2' off the ground onto concrete when the pull weight gets below 2.5lbs. You don't have to abuse your rifle, but I'd definitely hold it above your knee and let it go onto the recoil pad from that distance. My bet is that you run a >95% chance that your firing pin is going to fall if you managed to get your trigger down to 1lb.
As such, I've taken those two that failed back up to 3lb triggers where they do not fail. The third that passed the drop test is still at 2.25lbs.
