Family member bought one of these WalMart closeout Savage Axis, which I helped him find. The trigger is c#ap - long and screechy (for want of a better word).
I'm helping sight it in.
Is there a quick DIY fix, without having to buy an aftermarket trigger?

I was able to turn a terrible Axis trigger into a very acceptable one without much trouble. A little stoning and spring trimming I believe is all I had to do.
Those who call magazines "clips" and cartridges "bullets" ought not to be taken seriously. Jeff Cooper.
We might add those who call bullets "boolits.

I looked at several YouTube videos and started with trimming the spring. I took it from >7# to a little over 3#. It is a little creepy but but it is enough of an improvement I can live with the current trigger until spring. I find the overtravel to a bigger irritant but will combine that with a little stoning later.

Guys:
Clipped the spring about 1 1/3 coils and stoned the trigger assembly, and we are good to go! Not sure the poundage but greatly improved for sure. Thanks for the info! Massive improvement!
Ohh. The "cheap fix" part: Zero $ and just a little bit of time. Taa daa!
