Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors Savage 110 trigger adjustment - not Accutrigger

Just picked up an older 110 and the trigger appears to have adjusment screws. Which screw is which? Any experience would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the tip. It seems that you have to pay to join that forum and get information. I'm sure there are people on this forum who have this knowledge.

Thanks guys.

If your Savage 110 was made before about 1964 you remove the bolt and pull the safety back. There is a small spring steel cover right at the front edge of the safety button, this can be carefully pried up and out with the tip of a small knife blade. The weight of pull adjustment will be the screw right in front of the safety button, Counterclockwise to lighten, clockwise to increase. Many times this will do nothing for you and if it doesn't your pretty much done as the only other recourse is stoneing the sear engagement something best left to a very good professional. If you adjust the weight of pull screw out to far the safety will not work so be sure and check that. Reinsall the adjusment cover. Most of these rifles came with about a 5 pound pull and 3.5 pounds is about as light as you can get assuming the adjustment does something. I have never seen an aftermarket trigger for these older 110's.

Thanks. I'm pretty sure its not that old because it has a laminated stock - one of the main reasons I bought it. It is a dark green shade and has a Monte Carlo style butt stock.

Aha, my mistake saw the older 110 comment and in my mind that means the early 110's. Since about the mid 1960's the Savage trigger has been virtually the same until the accu-trigger. They can be adjusted but may not give the desired results as adjustment is limited. A good smith can make a good trigger out of them but then you run into which is more economically feasable pay the smith or buy an after market trigger of which their are several.
