The best adjustment ever made to my Rifle Basix trigger was when it went into the trash.
It was ALWAYS creepy and then, out of the blue, it got scary to boot. Just started letting the hammer drop when the bolt closed and there was no way I could correct the issue.

So what did you use instead?

I don't have a clue of what the issue was with your trigger, but they are guaranteed. Rifle Basix is very good with backing up their products. I have 5 installed on various rifles and don't have any issues.

I know it's been awhile since you made this post, but I want everyone to know Rifle Basix backs their products. I have never sent one back, nor have I had any trouble with setting one up. That's why their on 5 of my rifles.

FYI, Dennis

Dennis,
The trigger was never really right from the beginning. Maybe I should have sent it back but Jimmy McCullough, a guy who has probably forgotten more about Rem 700s than most know, said he could get it adjusted correctly. It did work for about five years after that (limited service). I already had the CE trigger on hand and knew how god they were. It was a no-brainer for me.

I have a sav-2 trigger and am a little stumped...
I have tightened the spring right behind the trigger shoe, turned it in to take out what seemed to be the trigger flipping forward with slight finger pressure. Pushing trigger forward and releasing will sometimes fire gun, all done with dry firing, help would be appreciated, new to this trigger.
Savage 12 fv in 204 ruger.
Thanks if you can help

Received from the company when I had an issue with slam fires:

CAUTION: When adjusting Rifle Basix you must go slow when turning set screws. Do not go more than a quarter turn when turning screws. Behind weight of pull set screw is a small spring that can easily become compressed if set screw is turned too much. After each small adjustment, cock and dry fire rifle for your best feel for weight of pull, creep, and over travel. Remove stock from action and make sure NO ROUND is in the chamber.
1. Weight of Pull: 1. You need 5/64 hex wrench.
2. Set screw that is nearest the receiver is weight of pull when trigger is installed.
3. To make weight of pull lighter, turn set screw counterclockwise or backing out screw no more than a quarter turn at a time (cock and dry fire). In some cases 1/8 turns maybe necessary when adjusting.
4. To make weight of pull heavier, turn set screw clockwise or going in with set screw. Again no more than a quarter turn when adjusting (cock and dry fire). Again in some cases 1/8 turns maybe necessary when adjusting.
2. Adjusting Trigger for Creep:
1. You will need 1/16 hex wrench.
2. Set screw that is further away from receiver is sear adjustment or for adjusting creep.
3. Cock and turn screw in or clockwise VERY slow until rifle fires.
4. After rifle fires turn screw counter-clockwise or out ¼ turn.
5. Cock and dry fire for creep. You may need to cock and dry fire several times.
6. If you feel it is necessary to continue to adjust, you may need to turn screw 1/8 instead of ¼.
7. You may need to repeat step 3.
3. Over travel:
1. You will need 5/64 hex wrench.
2. Middle screw is for over travel.
3. Turn screw in or clockwise no more than a ¼ VERY slow to reduce over travel.
4. Turn screw out or counter clockwise to add over travel. Again it very important that when adjusting Rifle Basix after market trigger, you must go slow and adjust no more than a quarter turn at a time.

I recently installed a Rifle Basix Sav-2 trigger on my model 12 benchrest chambered in 6BR. The question I have is, it seems to have a lot of creep before it breaks, the pull weight is great but I would like to adjust out the creep. What do I have to do?

Over travel perhaps?
After a couple try's I was not comfortable installing that sav-2 trigger ,I consulted a master rifle smith

I went to YouTube for a video. The video posted by Rifle Basix is excellent. I followed it step by step. I have zero creep or over travel. 8oz pull weight.

Even slamming the bolt and working the safety back and forth? 8oz is pretty light. Mines around 15oz.

I have a Rifle Basix Sav-2 Triggers on a Savage M12 for 20 years and never had the first problem with it . Put it on Adj it to as low of a pull as I could get . BUT it is just for punching holes in paper , and it does pretty good , three targets on the same paper .

Even slamming the bolt. No issues...ever.
