Identify this Trigger on a Remington 40x

I am looking at a Remington 40x rimfire single shot, serial number 0484xxR. It is set up with a monte carlo stock in a varmint style configuration (nice wood) - rounded corners on the bottom of the forend with approximately 1-1/4 inches of flat on the bottom of the forend.

The rifle comes with what I assume to be an aftermarket trigger installed. The safety has been removed. The trigger blade is a round piece of aluminum, approximately 1/8 inch in diameter, running parallel to the bottom of the action then curved to form a trigger. The aluminum piece is set into a clamp with an allen head screw that allows the length of pull to be adjusted by loosening and sliding the trigger blade forward or back. Trigger pull is well less than a pound, perhaps as little as 4 or 6 ounces (yes, we used a snap cap when we dry fired the gun).

The action is apparently glassed or glued to the stock. At least, it is not readily removable and as it isn't mine to play with (yet?), I'm not in a position to put it in a freezer or otherwise work hard to separate action from wood, so I can't see if there is a name on the trigger mechanism.

I know this is kind of a pig in the poke question, but does anyone recognize the maker of this trigger from the description? I'd like to know whether it's a good one or not, as I'd offer less for the gun if I might have to replace the trigger with something more reliable.

I did do a crude search for benchrest triggers on Google, but didn't find anything that looked similar. I'm guessing that whatever this is isn't currently in production.

Thanks.

It is a Canjar LP.
Designed for benchrest. Supposedly about a 2 (two) ounce pull. There is no provision for a safety with this trigger. Watch out when the wind changes direction Big Grin
