Savage 110 Accutrigger Help

[SilverStampede]

Hello,

I've got a Savage Model 110, and the trigger is not working on it. When the bolt is closed the trigger will not pull. This is a customer gun so I have no idea what the trigger poundage is. What's your take on it? I think it might be the poundage is set to light, but I'm unsure.

Thanks
Gordon

that's what it sounds like.

So just increase the poundage?

yep that should fix it. If it is a new rifle it may have to be adjusted a couple of times for everything to wear in and take a set.

When I put my Savage 116 into a new stock I bought off ebay, I found many different ways of preventing the trigger and/or safety from working by incorrect inletting. It has to be extremely accurate. The thickness of a single washer at the bottom metal is the different between working and not working. So if you're not sure, check for binding nothing's binding.

Buying a stock off ebay was one of the dumber moves I have made recently, by the way. I spent a few dollars less than buying a Boyd's stock. Must have saved at least a dollar for every hour I spent on it.
