Anybody got any tips for adjusting the old model 110 type triggers short of replacing with aftermarket triggers? I've never dinked around with one of them and have one now to play with that definitely needs work! Remingtons are a piece of cake to get to 18-24 oz but I've never messed with a Savage and just wondering about them! All help appreciated! Charlie (GHD)

Frank de Haas's book "Bolt Action Rifles" has good, clear, instructions for adjusting those triggers. Stewart Otteson's book "The Bolt Action - Volume II" has a pretty good description and sketches of how the trigger assembly works, but does not provide the useful adjustment instructions of the de Haas book, IMHO.

Hey GHD, I thought someone would have jumped on this by now.

Does it have the " L " shaped wire Trigger Spring?

Do a google search on that, and look for "file cutting additional notches" and then I think rifle basics makes a replacment.

about the best i've ever gotten a savage trigger is about the worst of a remington.

Do a Google search on "Tuning a Savage Trigger". I'm pretty sure there's a snipe site that has all of the info.

I have found some good info.

Thanks guys! I went and did the search deal and found a pretty good article on it and I got it down to a bit over 3 lbs with no creep so that will suffice for a hunting rifle! And it slams without firing and there's no creep so I guess I'll try it like that awhile! It's one of those "Stevens 200" in 25-06 and I was impressed by getting a .707" 3 shot group using Remington factory 100 grain loads while doing barrel break-in! It might be a good little cheap rifle! GHD
