  Short answer is no. There are no adjustment screws in this trigger assembly however, a knowledgeable gunsmith can do wonders with it.

  The 788 is a real accurate piece with a good trigger . It would be a good investment . Any competent gunsmith can make it right .

  The 788 isn't adjustable in the same way the 700 is adjustable, but you can switch out the trigger return spring & improve it quite a bit. Brownells (or Midway, can't quite recall) sells a drop in spring that's a touch softer. All you have to do is remove the trigger unit, remove the old & drop in the new. Pretty straightforward, costs about $5.00.
  
  I polished the sear and trigger surface just a touch, you may want to skip that unless you know very well what you're doing. Some parts for the 788 are very difficult to find and I think the sear is one of them.
