I do not feel I am "nocking" the product when I say the Sav1 trigger cannot be safely set at 14ozs, which they advertise. Anything less than 24ozs, and it will bump fire or especially fire on a vigorous bolt close. Anyone who can avoid this is a better man than I.
It is My limited experience that when shooting a rifle of 16lbs or less from the bench, a 1 1/2lb trigger is a heavy trigger. With such a trigger I use what I call a "controlled jerk". If I try to "squeeeze" such a trigger, the cross hairs will be off the POI when the shot breaks. So when I am lined up I make it go bang, and train Myself to move the rifle as little as possible.
But with the Sav2 I have installed on My Sav10, I just "think it" and the shot breaks :-).
This is hard to explain, but I hope it is helpful :-)
