Replacement trigger for savage model 12

[Terry]

So... the Jard page lists 1lb and 1.5lb models... and you guys are getting them running @ 2-6 *ounces*??? That seems unusual...

I'm not using them. 2oz. With Sharp Shooter Supply trigger, 4oz. with Rifle Basics.

I'm not using them.

I realize that... which is why I directly quoted someone who *did* state that they were using a Jard trigger, at those levels.

Sorry

The 2-6 threw me off.

I see the "6".

The trigger has an adjustment screw that will get the trigger pull down a little. I ordered the 1# trigger and went from there.

Timney makes a dropin triger for the savage accu- triger that will adjust down to 2 onces. I have all savages and have one on each one adjusted to 2 onces and have never had a problem but I shoot prarie dogs off my 360 degree rotating bench and never put my finger in the triger quard till am ready to fire.

If you replace the trigger won't you take yourself out of factory class?
The springs in the accu-trigger can be replaced with lighter ones and still be safe, and be "factory".

This is a great question and brings up a pet peeve of mine. Many clubs of varying disciplnes will not allow a replacement trigger on a rifle and keep it in factory class. They will allow BUTCHERING of a factory trigger, clipped springs etc., resulting in an UNSAFE TRIGGER that fires when the bolt is closed, or the safe manipulated. Allow any trigger with a working saftey , period. If you want to have a minimum trigger weight fine, but check every rifle with a dead weight when it is registered.Yes factory triggers can safely be made better but many to not know how to do it properly.

Thanks for bringing the cd up Terry.
I found it and watched it a few times. Tore the trigger down and found my trigger pull spring was collapsed. Put a new one in and it works like a champ now.. completely reliable at 4 oz's and I can get it lower with "decent" reliability. I see now my preload spring was set a bit tight before as well.
I like my crow bbq'd with salt and pepper please
Thanks again!
Also,
I talked with Clay at rifle basics and he sent me a whole new spring kit,I never mentioned that the spring was collapsed because I had in fact dropped and lost it.I asked him how much and he wouldn't take any money, took time to talk to me like I was his only customer with no rush as well. I can't say enough about his customer service!
Kudos to rifle basix.

Clay is the best in Customer service.

Do to the design of the Savage I don't think any trigger drops in/on etc.

Is one pin too much for installation?

Remington uses two.

 

[Old Navy]

No.

I have a Rifle Basix trigger in my model 12 that replaced the factory accu-trigger.
I didn't realize at the time that Timney had a replacement trigger that could be adjusted below 2lbs
or I might have gone that route instead.

The Rifle Basix trigger installation used a couple of springs from the factory trigger.
You have to watch videos for installation. No printed instructions came with it.

With a small amount of adjustment, I was able to get it to 8oz.
My gunsmith spent time on it when he re-barreled it.
Now it's breaking cleanly at 2 oz per the Lyman digital trigger gauge.

I could get mine down there but it was not reliable/safe. I settled on 4 oz.

After reading all the posts here, I ordered a JARD 7-12oz. trigger.
Got it installed last night, with a minimal amount of dremmel work.
I couldn't be happier with the results. My trigger pull gauge is telling me it's at 3.8 to 4.2 oz. now.
I would recommend this trigger to anyone that asks.
