In search of sub 14 oz trigger for a Savage 12 BVSS

[Dave Hoback]

Shooters who set the trigger that low are few & far between. Funny thing. None of the top shooters I’ve ever read about go that low. Same with any of the records are done with with these single ounce triggers. Seems like it’s mostly InterWeb shooters who like triggers that ridiculously light. I’m sure there are some. But none I’ve ever seen. You even think about the trigger following the bolt and it’ll trip, LOL!

When shopping and buying parts to build the wife's Savage I got a SAV-2 (on sale somewhere).
But, I think I will stick with working on the Accutrigger, primarily because of the safety blade.
Maybe I'll Caswell Gold plate it :)

We, shooting buddy and myself, have put in 4 Rifle Basix. Pretty easy to set all the way down to 7 Oz. If there is an issue with the install the company is really good about taking phone calls and working through the issue. If it continues to be a issue they send you a new one set at what you want. Happy shootin.

4 - 6 oz is pretty conservative these days. A bunch of the 40x guys I shoot with have their triggers down under 2 0z. To me, that's a bit light but we all have choices for our particular discipline. My custom 10-22s use KIDD 3.5/3.5 oz 2 stage triggers and they do a fabulous job. For sure none of these are hunting firearms. Whatta Hobby!

Specially when people are using free recoil, it gets real easy to upset point of aim.

Yep, bag sliders are often used in this discipline. 70 years of shooting and I learn something new every day. Whatta Hobby!

Slope in that first pic doesn't give you problems?
Or, just set for picture?

That one old pic is something.

That was taken about 72 years ago when I was 3. My Dad and older brother set that up thinking it would be cool. Would not be politically correct today.

I shoot with a Jewell triger on a Remington action , and my Savage with a Rifle Basix and I'll bet the Rifle Basix I have it down to 6oz with out any problems .

No problem at all. That is a 22 rf. I single load so when I close the bolt with my thumb, I make sure the slider is touching the stop. Centerfires would be level. Whatta Hobby!

Hey Rocket,
