I assume it's an older flat back. If so be very careful if you are simply adjusting the tension on the trigger return spring. It needs a nice arch in it or the rifle can discharge on closing the bolt and/or moving the safety to the off position. My favored method of adjusting this spring is to simply replace it with a lighter one made of .043 music wire. (hardware store) Does the trigger have a sear adjustment screw? This can also improve the pull quite a bit if properly adjusted. When tuning a Savage 3 screw trigger it is also important to adjust the safety screw and the overtravel screw so that everything works together as it should. Whatever you do don't forget to lock down the screws when finished because recoil can make unwanted further adjustments. I'm pretty sure that if you do a search here it will take you to a couple of threads on this subject. Good luck
