I read something about zero overtravel... is this ok for a big game hunting? Would it effect the trigger in any way to cause problems with letoff with the sear?

on a savage you need some over travel for the bolt release function.

ah, got ya. ;D
I drilled and tapped the plastic trigger guard on my Stevens. Ran a small hexhead setscrew in to limit overtravel. Don't know if I flinch or jerk but the trigger stop helps my shooting. Easy to adjust too.
here is a pic of the SS trigger. He has a different release set up

Some over travel may be good on a hunting rifle to be more forgiving with errors in your technique.
Here's a good video

cool vid, only he left the overtravel screw all the way out.... my smith said leave a little slack for it.
Believe he adjusted the over travel to maximum over travel distance then tightened so it wouldn't back out. Another words he screwed the allen screw in until there was maximum travel of the trigger after sear release. He adjusted it for hunting not bench rest shooting.
sounds like his opinion, the reason why he set it with max overtravel.
