Savage LRPV 6mm BR

[Hotshot]

If your trigger is tripping without pulling the blade all you have to do is turn the adjustment a little bit towards the heavier direction. Solved the problem for me and others I shoot with.
I have taken the blade out and adjusted to "safe" usually 10-12 ounces on the target trigger.

I run a similar setup. You are gonna love it.

If you intend to use scope caps make sure you have room. Have encountered difficulties from being just a bit too close.

 

[Gary C]

Hotshot,
I did just that after I got home.
It was real sweet the way it was ( for the first eight shots ).
We will see when I can get to the range next time how it feels.
db,
The Sightron came with caps and a 3 1/2 inch ( I think ) sun shade and they are on th escope on the rifle and seem to be fine.

When you get the trigger set where you want it put a drop of nail polish on the screw, no more problems with it going out of adjustment.

What is a good trigger upgrade for the MOD12? I have the factory one set light, it works well, as long as you are easy on the bolt. Would like to upgrade.

Jard....I have one in one of my 12's, if my factory trigger in the other gives me trouble it will get a Jard as well...From what experience I have it has excellent pull weight, and I'll never go back....rsbhunter

Is it a drop in design for the most part? I have all top bolt releases. I suppose inletting depends on stock. Ain’t a jard like $275?

 

[rsbhunter]

Yes, it uses the original pin to hold it in to the action...you do need to preload the sear, but its easy to do....I don't know what you're looking for as to trigger pull or such.....but it has a really great pull weight, and it is adjustable for creep and backlash.... It is NOT a Jewell, bix and Andy, or other true bench rest class trigger, but, we aren't shooting $1800.00 Bat actions either.....$219.00 at Optics Planet, maybe less elsewhere.... If you buy it and don't like it, let me know...if I haven't bought another by then, we'll work something out if you want....rsb

The SAV2 is a good 5-7oz trigger depending upon the rifle. I have not had one safe at 4oz yet as advertized but my 6br is 5oz and safe. The one in my 6CM is about 7-8oz, but I still am happy with it.

You can buy a trigger directly from Jard for 228.00 shipped.

 

[rsbhunter]

You might look on D'vor site...they are a spin off of Optics Planet , but kind of a clearance house...I have bought alot of stuff off of there. You do need to buy what you want if they have it, because they "normally " don't have large qty.... Sometimes only 1 or 2....I don't have a Rifle Basix trigger, I have read good and bad on them...I did buy one for a Rem model 7 that I ended up sending back...wasn't impressed... rsbhunter

 

[rsbhunter]

I wonder if the blade could be "shimmed" to make the blade less sensitive to the side torque ? The factory trigger are a great factory trigger, and adequate for most shooting....maybe one of the guy's here have tried or have a theory on it??? Thanks, rsbhunter

 

[rsbhunter]

But I wonder if shimming just the blade, not the trigger would help alleviate the "tripping" the safety feature..removing the blade only begs for a oops!!!..I only close my bolt when the rifle is on the rest and bags.....but even then, have a round go off before the "fire" command is given, and people don't look at you the same from then on...and rightly so.but, we are derailing this posters thread....im glad your rifle is doing great.....Savages are capable rifles...rsbhunter

SJ,
I have been following this trigger discussion.
If there is a way to get the Savage traget red blade trigger a little lighter I wanna know!
If I get around 8OZ on my gage the rifle shot the first 6-8 rounds fine then all that I got was a CLICK and no BOOM.
It is set at 1LB now but I have not shot it that way yet to see how it feels and functions.
I may upgrade to a aftermarket but I also may want to try production class this summer and a trigger change would be a NO NO.

[rsbhunter]

SPJ, I was pointing the finger at myself....I know it directly relates to the op's question, but I derailed it by asking my questions instead of trying to help answer his......it's easy to get wrapped up in a subject when I own the same rifles....rsbhunter

 

[rjtfroggy]

Gary read post #25 then reread it. That should solve the trigger problem of going out of adjustment.

 

[Gary C]

RJTfroggy
I will give that suggestion a go and see how it works.
Thanks

43 Deg here in central MA so I was able to get to the range for my first load testing.
I shot the 108 Bergers over 28 GR IMR 4895 and had great results as previously posted.
I went up in .030 increments and saw right away that the rifle likes the Bergers and the 4895.
I started at 28 gr again and the group on five at that charge was right where it shot last time out .550.
When to 28.3 and was shocked with a .239 group.
Went to 28.6 and the group opened up to .646.
28.9 was .765
29.2 was .780
So i guess I will load 20 rounds at 28.3 and see how consistent that load is out of this rifle.
I guess if the groups stay under a half inch I will start moving the bullet in and out in .002 increments.
The trigger feels OK at slightly under a pound so I wil leave it alone for now.

Gary all my Savages shot there best right at .018 off the lands, give it a try.
If you haven't already go to www.savageshooters.com and read up on all things Savage.

I did the same here in Ct., we shot our informal winter match #3 I shot a 249 with 19x's with my hunter gun (6x scope @100), it was a little chilly but no wind. Made for a good morning.
