Need Trigger Identification help

[TORCHRIDER]

Can anyone tell me what kind of trigger this is and maybe point me to directions for adjusting? The trigger is currently adjusted too light and the safety doesn't function.

Taking a stab in the dark, but I think that is the three (3) screw trigger. I may be completely wrong though.

I've never seen one with screws like that, it may be they were replaced at some time. It looks like the spring wire is handmade also, that's your trigger poundage. I have a factory wire if you want it. It will increase the trigger pull weight. Search 3 screw trigger for adjustment information, it may just need adjusting. Another thing, the threaded piece that the wire end is in, can be adjusted, just take a flat screw driver and turn it clockwise to increase trigger pull. What year is the rifle? It might just be an older design.

I don't know how old it is because I bought the action from someone. It is a flat back long action. I thought it was a 3 screw at first, but there is a fourth screw that engages the sear where it meets the trigger. The adjustment for the wire is also about as far as it can go up. Hmmmmm. :-\

4 screw, they used a screw to lock the cross pin also instead of a C clip. You can eliminate a bit more side play with them if you slide them tight to one side.

Did Savage make a 4 screw?

Look in the FAQ it shows the triggers.

That trigger does not look like mine. I will check the FAQ's as well.

Yes. Your trigger is just like the one in the above link but with the old slotted adjustment screws and the extra screw to retain the pivot pin.

I have the same on on my 10/110 long short action 223 that is what savage called it ween I call them and my gun was made in march 2001. Is it a good trigger? Don't know that but mine is at 4.3 lbs not bad but not good for target

Follow the directions in this link(in order) to adjust the trigger correctly. Im sure the safety doesnt work because it is just out of adjustment.

You can also lighten the trigger pull more by replacing the pc of wire on the side with a pc of .040" piano wire, and backing the scre out some.

I just did one of these triggers tonight. The pull weight was 5.5lbs. when i started and about 2.75lb when I was done.

They are great as far as factory triggers are concerned. I'd personally take an old three screw over an accutrigger any day.

[TORCHRIDER]

Thanks for the replies guys. I am going to follow the adjustment instructions you pointed me too.

YES

I have the identical trigger (4 screw) in a 110CL of early/mid 1970s production. Adjust it like a 3 screw trigger and ignore the fourth screw..

[TORCHRIDER]

Thanks guys. I followed the instructions including using piano wire instead of the one that came with it. Safety works and trigger pull is at about 3 lbs. I am guessing, as I dont have a gauge. These triggers can be tuned rather nicely.

Three pounds is great for a hunting trigger. If you are target shooting, the sear screw adjustment can get you down lighter and cleaner. I run about 2.5-3.0 #s on my deer rifles. My varminters are around 2.25-2.5 #s.

I think I need to invest in a trigger pull gauge.

[LHitchcox]

Sometimes a trigger will fool you. I have a first model 110 with a really weird trigger that feels about 3# because it is so crisp, but the gauge shows almost 3.5 #. My daughter's boyfriend has a Mossberg that you would swear is over 5# because of the take-up and the grittiness, but the gauge says 3.75#.

I have a cheap gauge that I bought for under $20 at a local gun shop. I think they may have mis-priced it. It shows up on Midway for almost $30.

I just looked it up on Midway and they have reduced the price to $19.99, but is is out of stock. Here is the link:
