I can't get my stock trigger below 2 pounds or so. I would love it at 12 ounces.
I tried sear polishing, but that didn't help much.
I know there's a 'Rifle Basix' trigger out there. Anyone use one ?
What other options are there?
Thanks for the help !
Don't know that you'll be able to get down to 12 ounces. There's only a few options that I can find.
The cheapest is the replacement accutrigger spring from Gun Shack. They say 1.5 to 2.5 pounds. https://www.gunshack.com/savage-part...able%20trigger
The Apache trigger kit is popular on Rimfire Central. Do a search on that site for more info. https://www.ebay.com/itm/262217050044
I'm very fond of the SAV2 for Savage centerfires, but haven't tried the Rifle Basix rimfire triggers. They say 1.25 to 4 pounds. Very good reviews on Eabco. https://eabco.com/rifle-basix-sav-ra...roduct-reviews
All I did to my Mk II was back out the Accutrigger spring and replace the spring for the center lever(the AccuRelease per the manual). Robbed the spring from a Bic lighter and clipped off a section slightly shorter than the factory spring. It's probably a little under two pounds.
That's a great start, thanks so much !
I haven't fired my Savage since last Fall. In the meantime, I acquired a CZ 457 and put a Timney trigger on it. Been shooting the CZ since January,
I got my 17HMR out last weekend and the trigger may as well been on a bazooka......
here's an older thread about the 93 triggers - http s://www.rimfirecentral.com/threads/trigger-adjustment-on-savage-93.25127/
If you search here on SS and RFC you can find lots of threads about 'fixing' the heavy triggers of Savages. I have a B22 with a pull about 3/4 # and a couple 64s with pulls ca 1.5# or so. Best thing is to replace the T-spring with a clik-pen spring, but some have found the Hdwe stores have functional replacements, too. Another thing to do is to 'polish' anything that rubs anything with about 1000g wet-dry paper, then lube very lightly with a PTFE grease, just a very thin film.
That AccuTrigger spring from Gun Shack is only for centerfire models and won't work on the rimfires.Quote:

I'll report on it after a bit of use.
Yes, the description does say that. But, there are several reviews from people that used them in their MK II accutriggers. So, your mileage may vary.Quote:

The GS spring worked in my A22 & B22-FV, 2# & 1# with Accu-triggers. I think it's 'lawyer-talk advice' - YMMV.
I got to shoot a little 17HMR yesterday.
I have to say that I really like this new trigger.
Went from a stock Accutrigger, requiring a mallet to fire, to a crisp, creep-less 14 oz. trigger.
Makes the gun much more of a pleasure to shoot.
I bought the Rifle-Basix trigger from E. Arthur Brown Co.
