The Savage isnt known to have the best trigger pull and mine was no exception. It was horrible, sloppy, and had a very hard pull.
After reading tons of stuff online, I decided to try fixing it myself and just got it back together.....after chasing the small parts, springs and stuff across the shop floor.
It took more time than I thought because I very carefully honed and polished everything. I put .018" shims under the rear of the trigger group and a .013" under the front...all hand made from an old feeler gauge. This was kind of a trial and error thing using different thicknesses to find the best combination.
WOW!!! The difference is amazing! The whole project cost me less than a buck for a spring. Still a little side to side slop in the trigger but thats easily fixed.
I cant wait to try it out. There is absolutely no creep at all. Just a little pressure on the trigger and bang! Hope there is less work involved on the 10/22
