Ok I have 3 Savage rifles and just bought a Target action, But a little green when it comes to all the parts, I took the stock off and compared it to the Target action, When I pull the trigger the lever or (sear) moves out of the slot that it sits in about 1/16"-1/8", with a light click. When I pull the trigger on the Target action, that lever moves more than twice that distance with a more audible click and you can definitely tell its releasing the firing pin. Hope this explains it better and is there a quick fix. Thanks Dave
