Replacement of Savage trigger

[perry42]

I installed a Rifle Basix trigger in my Savage 110 last night. Took the rifle to the range today and was pleased at the improvement over the Accu-trigger in my 6br. I might replace the triggers in my Mdl 12 308 and 110 338 Edge with the Sav 1 trigger from Rifle Basix.

Personally I would stick with the sav-2 over the sav-1 just for adjustability sake.

JARD also makes a trigger to replace the accu-trigger. I have them on two target actions. Pull is around 6 oz.

The JARD website shows a 1 lb and 1.5 lb trigger avail for Savage. Did they drop the 6oz version?

No, the 1 lb tested 6 oz after I installed it. I may have done a little buffing on the trigger and sear, but I don't remember for sure.

Nomad47,

THanks..I may try one of those. I have 2 PTA's with Sav2 and 2 PTA's with stock target triggers

Let me know what you think and whether you like it.
BTW, if you have an after market wood stock, you might need to remove a little wood from in front of the sear. Simple if you have some sort of dremel tool.

I have a Jard trigger on a Mod 12 Savage with an HS Precision stock. Had to get it chucked up in a milling machine to get the aluminum cleaned up to get the trigger to clear the stock. My trigger runs around 6 oz also.

I may have to scrap my trigger and go with a Basix. Lost a spring somehow and haven’t been able to get a replacement from Savage. My GS says they are stingy on giving him parts.
Anyone else have issue getting parts from savage??

What spring are you missing?

Never had issues getting "restricted" parts from Savage, just signed a waiver.

I don’t have the accutrigger. I think it’s the trigger return spring that’s missing. It’s a vertical spring at the rear of the mechanism.

Can always call Savage Customer Service and ask.

Stick with the SAV-2's if your going to be shooting competitions with the rifle. I have them on several of my F Class rifles, and love the. I have Timeny and Jewels triggers as well. The SAV-2's hand in there flawlessly.

Any questions, let me know. I still have several around here looking for a home. The 2's are my favorite. I also have the RB's on 2 of my Remmy's, and they are flawless on these as well.

Got two Rifle Basix Sav 1 triggers. One on my Model "J" 110 V and one on my XP 100 converted rifle. LOVE THEM BOTH!! Can you say "hair trigger"? Just don't breath around it.

Surprisingly you can get the SAV-2's pretty low, and they will "pass" the bump test! I worked (playing around) with the one on my 338 Edge. If you put your trigger finger anywhere near the trigger, it's firing! It's very consistent, and I have never had to readjust anything!

I like my Jewell's, my SSS/Evolution triggers, and my Rifle Basix SAV-2's, and the Timney's are good and hangs in there with the rest of the best!

I put the SAV-2 on my son's .223 but I still don't have it like I want it. Might need to call them and get some tips on how to better adjust it

What adjustment is in question ?

I could set mine extremely light, disregarding any safeties, these will AD at those settings. I can not justify in my mind any trigger that will not hold sear engagement during bolt manipulation.

Here's a quote

What adjustment is in question ?

It’s been a few months since I messed with it, but I recall 3 adjustments, sear engagement, safety adjustment and overtravel adjustment.

All three were interrelated as they affected the feel and function of the trigger.

I’m sure I just need to play around with it some more to get it right
