Savage Striker Rim Fire

That's a bit lighter than normal for the factory trigger. It may have the RB trigger or maybe somebody shimmed it.

I am not sure as I hve yet to do anything with it. I do have plans (or had plans) to install a Rifle Basix sear if it doesn't already but I might just clean & lube and see where that takes me. Supposedly it has under 100 rounds though it.

I am surprised it is not much louder, if at all that a Mark-II rifle.

When looking at Savage magazines they show the Mark II mag fits Mark II, 501 & 504 and the 93 mags fit 93 series, 502 & 503.

I know the 501 is the 22LR Striker, the 502 is the 22mag, the 503 is the HMR. Was the 504 a HM2/Mach II and did it ever exist?

Well I know I said I had 2 pounds 10 ounces of trigger pull but the other night I couldn't get that to repeat when I was working on it. I pulled the stock to give it a good cleaning and drill it for a swivel stud. When I got the stock off I took a look at the trigger group and I thought I had an aftermarket sear in it. The other thing I noticed is when I removed the action screw the pillar it threaded in to came out with it.

I threaded the pillar back in only to find that it would go in to far and keep the bolt from moving. I figured a spacer or lock washer was missing. so I found a few small washers to work. After that was in place I re-tested the trigger pull which was fluctuating between 3.5-4#. I saw the sear was adjustable and I looked up the Rifle Basix and it didn't look anything like this one. I removed the trigger groups and disassembled it. Before doing that I had noticed that the trigger had a "catch" in it about 75% travel.





After disassembling I could see what was causing the catch. There was a couple small wear marks on the trigger. I spent some time lightly polishing the trigger & sear then reassembled it with Shooters Choice synthetic lube. I trimmed the spring and adjusted the sear tension. After working it so the lube would work into things I rechecked the pull and for it down to 2 pounds 8 ounces consistently. That'll do until I can afford the Rifle Basix sear.

I finished cleaning it and mounted the bi-pod. I have yet to re-shoot it.

I have a Simmons 2-6x32 ProHunter Pistol scope coming for it even though I like the Tasco. 2nd day I had it I blasted a red squirrel out of one of the pines about 45 feet up using a CCI Quiet22 round.

Well that eBay Simmons ProHunter was a disappointment. Currently have a buyer protection case open. I have a guy who is crazy interested in my Taurus HMR revolver. I don't want to let it go but I would if a 503 (especially in stainless) were to present itself.
