Rifle Basix trigger, Sav-1, has arrived.
https://riflebasix.com/product/savage-110-axis-trigger-sav-1/
With this rifle, when I tried to adjust Sav-1 trigger toward the lighter settings, it was better, but still inconsistent.
I had .039" of side to side play now. This is more than the factory Accutrigger had (see above).
At the lighter settings, it could drop when trigger slid on the pin side to side. Not OK........
Next step was to order shims, had to try, made sense to try, minimal cost:
https://www.triggershims.com/misc_shims.html
Ordered misc. pak of shims after calling and speaking with Mr. Shively.
Shims arrived very quick, and as ordered. 8-pack: 4-.007" / 4-.008"
Was able to use .016" on each side. Now I have reduced side play considerably.
Back to adjustments:
Reduced spring tension, checked sear engagement, checked safety and over travel settings.
Now I am at 15-16ozs. and it is much more consistent.
Can't wait to shoot it to see if it continues to function consistently and safely as adjusted.
