Re: New Savage 111 questions
Sounds like an older model.
Put an SSS trigger on it. Best trigger out there IMO. About $80.
They are easy to swap so if you need to return the rifle for a warranty just swap it back.
Re: New Savage 111 questions
It sounds like you bought the same rifle I did

It is what's called the package gun. Did it come with a scope?
I actually really like the older style 110 trigger. Very easy to adjust. I have mine set down to 1.8 pounds right now and works very good.
The 111 is a great gun, you can pretty much just call it a 110 as that's what it is except it has a drop out mag.
Re: New Savage 111 questions
Fireman,
I have 2 111's both in the 7mm and I love them. I would just adjust the trigger yourself they are great guns for the money. I would also recommend you bed the action and free float the barrel a bunch more. I have done this with both of my 111's and my 110 that are all in 7mm rem mag and with my handloads they all shoot 3/4 MOA if I do my job consistently. Good luck and welcome to the savage clan.
