Understand Your concern, but these rifles should only be used in a “COLD RANGE” situation. This means no rifles present with bolts installed, UNTIL they are on the bench, pointed at the berm, and the command “install bolts” is given. Sometimes these Bench Rest rifles do discharge when the bolt is closed, often causing the shooter to be Disqualified. Thus, another reason for extreme safety measures.I would personally be extremely cautious using a trigger without the safety blade in place. It's the only thing between you and an accidental discharge! A buddy has one set at 6oz and 50% of the time it holds and the other times the blade saves him from troubles! Just my .02

Its real hard to give advice like this on a forum. Have you been to a public range?Understand Your concern, but these rifles should only be used in a “COLD RANGE” situation.

Of course, be safe in all aspects of firearms handeling.
You are correct, and I humbly yield to those with much greater experience than I to correctly explain extremely light triggers.Its real hard to give advice like this on a forum. Have you been to a public range?
I have been learning from the wisdom of Fuj for many years now, and I appreciate all of it. Jard tried to solve the Savage bench rest trigger problem, but that has not worked out yet either. But the Jard is suitable for non competition applications. It is the most expensive Savage trigger.I have my Savage red blade triggers set to 12 ounces. My Rifle
Basics 2 I had down to 5 ounces but would trip by slamming the
bolt closed. At 8 ounces all is fine. I'm used to a heavy trigger,
The guns are also 17 lbs and more so, a heavier trigger does not
disturb things as much.
Would those bushings go at the rear of the bolt body?You can put bushings on the bolt to tighten it up and at least get a more predictable pull, which means you can go lower in weight safely and not have as big of a safety factor
