My gunsmith installed a Timney and reduced the pull to 6 ouncesSo far, nothing.....I have run through every trigger including
Jard and Rifle basic and neither surpassed the Red blade Accu-
trigger. Although Timney only gets you to a lb and a half, It
broke as clean as the 10 ounce triggers. Maybe down the road
Trigger Tech will come up with something but until then, all 3
of my PTA's have the red blade triggers in them, and I'm done
playing around with the after markets and sold them all off.
I am a competitive shooter favoring heavy rifles from 17 to 25
lbs. A Savage trigger in these weights do not hinder me.
I came to the conclusion if it doesn’t replace ALL of the trigger it’s a waste of time and $.
The Sav II will go down to 4oz. Back when it was first introduced, I installed one on one of my rifles and wrote an article about the project that was published in Precision Shooting, . As far as I know it is still the lightest trigger that is available for the Savage rifles. Back then, I was the one who gave the original owner the idea of producing a video on how to install the trigger. At the time it was published as either a CD or DVD.So far, nothing.....I have run through every trigger including

A buddy pointed me to a simple modification that cured that problem for me. My model 12 would do that with no rhyme or reason. Very aggravating.I had a standard accutrigger on one rifle that continuously went into safe mode if you even thought about running the bolt hard. Changed it to a red blade and the problem got better, but the break was inconsistent. I changed to a Jard and have been quite pleased. Breaks clean and very consistent. I’m assembling a target action now and am going with a Sav 2, mainly because that’s what northland had when I ordered the barrel. If I don’t like it I’ll go back to the Jard.
There was mention of a Jewel awhile back for the Savage. From
my information, it was not a drop in. There was actual machining
of the receiver in the project.
Fred Moreo made a decent trigger set up, but is no longer available.
Hasn't offered it for a while now.I think Fred at SSS still offers the high end model which requires sending him the action for truing and fitting, which will take a lonnnng time.
