Jard Savage 110 Centerfire Trigger System Review

This...LINK.

What is it:
i received a box with a trigger and instructions in it. Pretty simple. There is an outer housing. All pins are staked positively. Things move smoothly. The sear spring looked like it could rub on the housing, so I shortened it about 0.03” to prevent contact.


You just adjust sear engagement until it is safe. This is kind of hard since you want it to be short and light, but you want it super safe. I was whacking the back of my action with a heavy is his rubber mallet. It was safe when the sear wouldn’t bounce off.

I reset all settings and put the stronger trigger return spring in. It is super easy to get a safe reliable pull within all advertised weight ranges. The safety locks it up nice and solid. I added blue locktite throughout to keep things in place. It is really pretty flexible....my only wish is that there was a heavier spring set for field use.

Just measure the spring, and you should be able to find one on Amazon easily. I get my springs from there for setting up triggers.

Thanks nksmfamjp. I'm not convinced but there is still time.

Be careful buying on amazon. They sell a lot of counterfeits. So you may think you are buying a real spring, but it could be something else. Like a washer or screw.

I feel like my review is terrible....any pics or questions I can answer?

Im not complaining. At least you put some effort into it. If you think of something else or want to ad to it Jim might let you edit the post.

I rechecked my setup. I have it setup with quite a bit of sear engagement.....no way I can bump it off the sear with anything reasonable. I also have the heavier spring in it. I have about 12oz pull weight, but I think my scale is not very precise at these low weights. Feels closer to 1lb.

So I do have the Lyman digital on my wish list!

How much did it cost? What exact model? What rifle did it go in? What was your goal for trigger pull force? What did you achieve? What does it feel like?

sorry about the late response. I have the $200 Jard trigger. It is in a custom Savage 12....the only thing Savage 12 is the action, but it was trued, timed and cut for AICS OAL.

My goal was a 16 oz trigger that was crisp. I did not achieve that, but my goals have changed a bit over time....I was ok at 12oz, but it seemed to have some creep. Fred at SSS reworked it some to loosen it up and time it to the action. This was pretty good. i don’t remember the weight.

Lately, I decided it had a bit more creep and overtravel that I wanted.....it was also dropping the sear on bolt close....so I readjusted the entire thing. I got it to a very crisp 7.5oz and no more issues. I need to shoot it, but it seems squared away.

As a side note, heavier pull weights make the trigger not want to reset. Lower pull weights take pressure off the third lever. There is a balance that must be achieved when adjusting that screw.

Safety works too which is nice.
