Ok so I've got a Savage that now sits in a McMillan A5 stock. The rifle has a SSS Comp trigger and with the barreled action out of the stock, I can get the trigger adjusted to just under 1 pound and it breaks like glass and is very consistent; exactly how I want it. Safety works as it should, will not slam fire or bump fire, etc. But when I put the barreled action into the stock and torque it down, I start having problems with the trigger. Pull weight goes from around 15 oz to 2 lb and will sometimes fire if the bolt is slammed closed. Also, sometimes the trigger will not reset after it is fired and the bolt is worked.

It seems to me that maybe the stock is binding up the trigger somewhere and maybe I need to take out/ recess a little of the fiberglass? The shape and size of the SSS trigger assembly is considerably larger than that of a factory Savage trigger. Could also be too much torque? Any input would be appreciated, thank you. I have tried getting in touch with SSS but have been unsuccessful.
