Reply With QuoteRifle basix sav-2 is the better choice if you want alot of weight adjustment say for target work to hunting.
I have a savage 112 pre accutrigger and wanted to lighten up the trigger a little bit. I did some research and found out how
to adjust it and did. My only problem is im not a big fan of the wire spring. I saw you can replace the spring steel wire with a smaller diameter but i really dont want to do that. So i was wondering what aftermarket triggers if any did away with the spring wire? It looks like the sss competition trigger does but im not 100%. Any info would be greatly appreciated

Willing to give back for what the sport has done for me!
I have no experience with the SSS trigger but as jonbearman said the Rifle Basix SAV-2 is a good trigger. You might also consider the SAV-1 or a Timmy trigger. One quick question, are you going to use it for hunting or target? If hunting use the SAV-1 or Timmy triggers, if target purchase the SSS or SAV-2. I just polished the sear and trigger and replaced the wire spring with a wire from a fishing lure and got the trigger down to around 2.5 lb. Works fine, is very stable and 2.5 lbs is a lot lighter than one would think, but you already said you don't want to swap wire springs.
+1 with above.
Why no love for the wire? The spring wire has proven itself to be a reliable and repeatable system as far as factory triggers go. Just wondering.

Olddave and bootsmcguire after further research and comments above, when i get home i am
going to change the wire out and see how i like it. Buzzbait or spinnerbait wire should work i assume. Any specific diamiter wire i should be looking for guys?
I will be hunting with the 300 win mag but will be long range so wanted a little lighter trigger
IIRC .040" is the preferred diameter.Originally Posted by Ferro1511
