Reply With QuoteI use the Elftmann Trigger without the Shoe. This gives Me a straight trigger, which I prefer. See My post in the Competition Forum. Oh, it does come with a straight trigger shoe, but I prefer none at all.
Been searching with no luck. There's several companies that make flat face (straight) triggers for Rem, Win, Tikka, etc, etc, but can't find any for Savage. Anyone know of any flat triggers for the 110?

Went to the "competitive shooters" section and there were no threads there. Got a link?Originally Posted by GrenGuy
ELF SAVAGE 110 SE Precision Rifle Trigger (elftactical.com)
Not liking that contraption in the trigger. Looking for something like a flat Trigger Tech or Timney style.
I feel your pain deadduck. I am a flat trigger guy also, So I went Remington and Bighorn, You may have to do the same if you are not interested in the Elftman trigger. It doesn't go light enough for me anyway. You could mill the trigger off of an old savage and attach a straight shoe. How bad do you want it?
The Dunning-Kruger effect is alive and well.
The thread in the Competitive Shooting Forum is between Best Skeet Gun, and 6mm Creedmore.
As You already alluded too, options for Savage Triggers are limited.
The “contraption in the trigger”, I assume You are referring to?, is the Shoe. Elftmann offers a curved and a straight one. To install the one of Your choice, the trigger must be installed in the barreled action, and the barreled action must be installed in the stock. Step by step directions are on YouTube.
I am using this trigger in a competition rifle, and as I said earlier, I don’t use either of the provided shoes. I just use the straight blade the shoe would mount to.
If this suggestion is unacceptable, I don’t know what You’re solution will be, because I have “ALL” the triggers being made for Savages, and they all have curved shoes, except for what I have described on the Elftmann.
If Your handy, You might be able to invent something acceptable? Let us know how it goes.
Good Luck
The Elftmann Trigger I am shooting in competition is set at 8 ounces, and has “NEVER” bump or slam fired.
See My thread as mentioned above.
I apologize if I misspoke. I was ignorant to the fact they had made one that would go down to 8 ounces.

I'll survive with the Accu-Trigger, its not bad. Just surprised there's no flat options.

Not ignorant at all Robin. Elftmann’s trigger, as solid, goes down to 1.25 #’s. My thread details how I got down to 8 ounces, and the modifications that got it there. I talked to Elftmann Techs about it. Predictably, they were interested but cautious.
I recently purchased a Remington stock that is the beginning of a Remage build. None of the off the shelf Rem foot print actions are what I really want. Which means full custom, extra cost, and wait time. The uncertainty of being able to get components in the future has also got this build on hold. But should it come to pass, it will include a Bench Rest Worthy Trigger. If Bighorn made a RB/LP, they would have My money.
It seems the OP has made his decision, and has a plan to proceed, making this a successful thread.
I also put an Elftman trigger in mine, just over a pound and rock solid. I like the flat shoe, a different shoe could be made if you have access to a mill. I am very happy with this trigger, bought at Brownells.
