While looking for parts for my Model 10 bolt I was on Gun Shack site and also found a replacement trigger spring for the Savage bolt rifles. Advertised as Stock Savage Target Spring. So I took a chance and ordered 2 of them along with the Ejector Kit for the bolt.

They came in and after repairing the ejector I pulled the receiver and replaced the spring. Pretty easy replacement. I then was able to already shoot this with the new spring and all I can say is Out Standing! I wish I would have done this 10 weeks ago before our winter rifle league started. Immediately seen a reduction in group size because of lower spring pressure which lent to better trigger control.

Awesome! Light triggers are not great for hunting especially in cold weather but really good for tight groups

This rifle is used just as a short 100-300yd target gun from a bipod and bench. So the softer trigger is a nice addition.

Congratulations on the improvement! Find some shims to remove some of the slop and it will even be a better feel. Clean the burrs off of the inside of the hanger with a small or jewlers file and make sure the trigger swings freely without any bind.
