Savage 110 pre accu Sav-1

Something is causing the binding. To me it sounds like the action screw needs to be shortened and I would look at maybe removing some material from the stock. Savage stocks have been notorious for having action screws bottom out on the action. I normally remove about a turn and a half from the action screws.

If I am understanding what you are saying. The screw is too long and it is affecting the trigger function. If the rear screw is too long it will prortude into the bolt raceway either binding the bolt or not allow the bolt to go into the action. The trigger will not work because the bolt will not go into the action or it is bound up? Then by removing 1/16th" the bolt will now be unobstructed and the trigger will now work. Am I getting that right?


I have had front screws hit the bolt head by being too long. I have yet to see one bottom out.

Remove some wood right above the rear trigger guard screw. Most likely the rear arm of the trigger assembly is contacting the stock and being pushed upward as you torque down the action. Remove the trigger guard and look to see if there is enough clearance.

Robinhood & jpdown are making good points. The rear action screw, if too long, would interfere with the bolt. 4 threads is normal for the rear screw and 6 or 8 turns would still not protrude though. Rear action screw length on a Savage/Stevens is very forgiving and rarely a problem.
Jpdown suggestion is the most plausible explanation. The overtravel screw on the non accutrigger RB trigger or the trigger return spring adjustment on the accutrigger version, or very back of the trigger itself may be "just" touching the stock when the stock is torqued down. Also look at the length of the rear trigger guard "wood" screw. The new B&C fiberglass stock may be slimmer than the factory stock & the sharp tip of that screw may also be reaching the trigger or pushing fiberglass towards it.
The trigger guard itself should be examined for touch points on the trigger shoe, but the RB trigger usually has been good here from what i have witnessed.

A good test would be to torque it down in the original stock. The RB trigger may also interfere with the wood but it then can be narrowed down to the fit of the trigger in the stock. I've installed several RB-Sav1s and had to remove a little material in a few of those installs.
Good luck
