I have a 1960 vintage 110 with the same trigger mechanism you are speaking of. I also have several post '66 vintage 110's that have the "new" trigger. After using both---my personal preference is the "old" trigger. I used to spend lots of time hunting running Jackrabbits with my '60 vintage 110---about 5K 25-06 rounds worth----with the trigger pull adjusted to a smooth, creepfree 2+- lbs. Never had a problem with the poundage varying---however---I usually cranked it up to 3+- lbs for deer season (cold fingers ya know!).
The photos below are of trigger/sear parts from my '60 Savage 110----they are pretty much self explanatory. Just make sure that---when "smoothing" engagement surfaces you keep all planes straight---not rounded. I used Hard Arkansas stones---but a popsicle stick and fine (1000-1500 grit) wet-dry paper will do a nice job also---just keep the paper close against the stick, and the strokes straight. If you have further questions---please PM me. Hope this helps.
