BTW.. since you got the barreled action free from the stock. What trigger is it? Did you happen to get a 3-screw? Can you take a picture?

Sorry it took me so long. I don’t have a lot of free time and was just now able to get back to it. Here is the trigger:

Yeee-UP! You gots a 3-screw there ya do! I can do fine, fine things to those. Set up properly those are the finest triggers Savage makes. Modification & proper set up they perform on par with pretty much any aftermarket trigger. Good stuff!

It looks like a 2 screw to me. the 3 screws were older.

EDIT: I know for a fact, the OP’s picture is a 3-screw. If a trigger has the Sear adjustment screw, it is by definition, a 3-screw trigger.

Ive always called these 3-screw. In the picture, the rear most screw is just difficult to see because it’s adjusted all the way up. Here is his pic blown up.

This is what I’ve always called a factory 2-screw. It does not have the Sear adjustment screw. But I could be wrong. Still.. I can do nice things to that trigger & make it quite nice!

Yup that's how I have always heard them referred. 1 screw is just safety engagement, 2 screw is safety and over-travel, and 3 screw is sear and safety and over-travel engagement adjusts. If its got the sear screw then it's a 3 screw. Maybe there is some odd-ball out there I have yet to encounter idk but yes OP trigger is the 3 screw.

I have since had a chance to look at my inventory. I have both the old and the new style 3 screw. You are correct David. I missed that one.

Yes, they look different. The older 3-screw, like this, just had that roll pin, to hold the Bar-spring. The new ones were very nicely milled steel with a portion of it’s own to hold the Bar-spring.
