Jard triggers.

This trigger and sear looks like it has adjustable sear engagement via setscrew, with a compression type trigger return spring instead of the original straight wire spring.

Is that correct?

Are there any other features that make it worth considering?

I am thinking the SSS Compettion Trigger is a better design...

I sang it's praises in a reply above and it would be fantastic if they made the sear fit the gun. I think it probably warps with heat treating. Other wise it's a very good design. Yes it has a compression spring. I probably just got a couple of bad sears, but I've spent enough time and money on trying to get a good one.

Yes Jard should pick through their inventory and get this right. After some research there are more very unhappy people than happy people. Bad mojo.


Have they been purchased by a foreign holding company lately?

Don't beat yourself up too bad RP12. I read revenues, some of which were negative, but I "wanted it to work", so I believed the positIve revues. Like I said above, mine fell apart during installation. The bolt release arm broke off the trigger body. Just one little drop of solder held it on there. Those of you who have them, don't get it caught on your shirt sleeve :( and the finish :( And like two other triggers out there, it is over priced for what you get, in my opinion. I'm now thinking SSS or Savage 2.....:)

I have had the Rifle Basix Sav 2 in my hands and in my opinion it is total junk. When you compare it to a Shilen Trigger for a Rem 700, well there is simply nothing to compare. The shilen is EDM from a piece of high carbon heat treated steel and then finished on the wear surfaces, whereas the Sav 2 looked like a bad MIM part. The pins are loose in the housing and on the trigger and there is no precision of fit at all between the trigger/pin or housing, so copious amounts of slop in all directions. And the Sav 2 costs nearly double what the Shilen does.

I think the only one worthy of further investigation is the one from SSS that one can buy at other retailers, so not have to deal directly with SSS customer service. I have not seen one of the SSS triggers yet. But I have replaced a Sav 1 and a Sav 2 with regular accutriggers...

I have an SSS trigger. I got it before the difficulties with Customer Service. The installation instructions said that I "may" have to remove material from the right side of the trigger housing to make it work. But my trigger housing didn't look like the one in their picture, and the trigger "did" install in my rifle, so I concluded that I "did not" have to modify my trigger housing. But the "safety didn't work". When I tried to contact SSS for help, the Customer Service problems had begun, and I could get no response. I tried adjusting the safety slide, thinking it was too loose, but it didn't help. I went back to the stock trigger, did some work on it, and got it to perform pretty well, while I waited for a solution for the SSS. I have since learned from my Brothers on this site ;-) that, even though the trigger did install in my housing without modification, the notch has to be cut to allow the safety to work! I am now using the SSS trigger and am happy with it. I have learned here that the SSS trigger started life as a Jewel and some say you can't get better than a Jewel trigger. I have high hopes that the Customer Service issues with SSS are now solved, because I want to do some business with them. And we can all rely on each other here at Savage Shooters to solve what ever issues may arrive. ;-)

Good Luck-Good Shooting-And Happy Holidays!.....Jim
