Trying to get one of these in for review but I can't seem to get a response back from Jard.

hey aren't the best at "prompt" reply's , at least that was my experences when I asked about the Savage trigger as well as when I tried to get their AR trigger to workOriginally Posted by J.Baker
I just got this new trigger, and the information posted by others is for the most part accurate. Some things have changed from the way it was first announced. Instead of being sold in specific weights, it is now offered in 7 to 12oz, or 13 to 18oz. It is also offered in top bolt release or bottom bolt release. I ”think” the bottom bolt release is used for Accutrigger models, but I’m not sure about that, all my actions are top release. My safeties are 3 position, but as mentioned above, the bar is too thick to work with this trigger. Savage must have made a different safety bar some were along the way that I have not seen?
I received the trigger extremely fast after ordering. I installed it and had some questions. I called Jard and spoke to Dean. We had a very productive conversation. I am convinced Jard wants to produce the best trigger possible for Savages. This trigger has no stamped out sheet metal parts, and is well made. Therefore, the cost was $227.45 to My door.
Dean gave Me some tips on setting the pull weight, and I currently have it set at 8ozs. So far, I can’t make it slam or bump fire. I have great hopes for this trigger and I am convinced Jard is commitment to helping us get what We need. We should work with them.
If we can’t get or don’t have the proper Savage safety bar, Jard offers it as a quality made, machined part, for $49.95+$5.95 shipping. We are now at $283.35 for this trigger. People say “we get what we pay for”. I say “I hope I get what I pay for”. So far this looks to be the solution I hoped for. We may need to help Jard smooth some things out along the way, but I’m ok with that.
Looking forward to hearing from others. Thanks
What stock are you going to use ??
Stock? Well, I have a choice of all the usual suspects, but at this time, I am modifying a 12fv stock into a bench rest stock. Go ahead, laugh. The new trigger fits in there just fine. If that’s why You ask ?
I askl, because there is "notice" on the NSS 's site that says the Rifle Baxis -2 WILL NOT fit in the A$$USTOCK, Since I only shoot from a bench too, maybe I need to look for a stock that my un trained termites { Dermal & EZ Cut tools} can get the Tactical Bbl. action to fit into.
I don’t have any Accustocks or Bottom Bolt releases, and I don’t intend to. I like the old stuff. A while back I looked into an Accustock, and had a bid in on one on eBay. I didn’t get it, and after thoroughly looking into it, I decided it was not for Me. Pillar bedding is what I prefer.
Bought the Jard 3 lever trigger and could not get pull weight lower than 1 pound 1 ounce, ended up screwing up the trigger spring. Emailed Jard trying to get a replacement spring with no luck. put my accurizer trigger back in and it works better than the Jard. If I had it to do over I would not buy the Jard trigger.I just got this new trigger, and the information posted by others is for the most part accurate.

^ I don’t know why You had the communication problem, but I had no problem calling Jard and getting answers and solutions. Others on the net have spoken highly of Jards customer service.
It's been my experience dealing with them in the past regarding one of their AR triggers, is that they are really slow in answering e mail's, call them
If you want to get rid of it let me know. I have a friend.............
The Dunning-Kruger effect is alive and well.
Thanks for the offer, but don't need to get rid of it at this time. Am going to try and get a replacement trigger spring with a lower trigger pull. I have a couple of Fred's triggers (SSS) and find them hard to beat, had a couple more on order when he stopped making them. I paid $160 for one and $ 187 for the other. I think the Jard is more cosmetic appealing than functionally any better,although you can't buy any more SSS.
blvedere...the Jard part # for the 7oz to 12oz spring is “1616”
“. “. “. “. “. “. 13oz to 18oz spring is “1059”
Call 712 324 7409, You will probably talk to Dean Van Marel. I am confident He can provide what You need.
I now have the safety bar installed, and My trigger has settled out to a 7oz pull weight. I cannot make it slam fire or bump fire. I have found it to be like the SSS trigger, and others, the sear engagement setting is perhaps more important to the pull weight than the trigger spring.
There is a “but”. The trigger has creep. I have not been able to get it out or reduce it. I will continue to work on it.
Good Luck
edit...I touched all the screws with blue locktite after final adjustment. Hopefully, this will keep everything as it is.
