Reviews & Ratings for Rifle Basix Savage 110 Target Trigger — 22 reviews — Page 1

Best trigger I have used in savage model 10. Took about 45 minutes to install and adjust

I installed this in my savage LRP model 12 and way better than the locking up factory trigger and you can set it super lite, the install was not the most pleasant and you have to use some parts from your old trigger assembly but I found it works best to set them side by side and it’s not too hard to figure out I mean I only used a handful of cuss words but I didn’t throw anything so it wasn’t that bad, there are a few people on YouTube that will actually show you step by step better than the recommended video

So, I have a Savage Md. in a Ashbury Precision Chassis. It came with the Orange trigger. The book it came with says it’s a Law Enforcement model. The trigger has been good but some times when touched on the side it would drop the Target sear and catch on the acutrigger safety. This would mean you have to lift the bolt to reset Savages system.
Install of the Rifle Basic is straight forward and is made much better than the Savage stamped sheet metal. I could not use the lighter spring it came with as the slightest bump ( the bolt actually has a silicone rubber bumper) it would fire as now there is no extra level of safety. I had to use the heavier spring and have it set at 12 oz. It has a little creep with no adjustment but does have an adjustment for over travel. A sharp rap with a brass hammer on the receiver will fire the gun. I believe this is due to the target sear more than anything. I only use the gun at the range as it’s quite heavy with the chassis and 26” barrel. I’m still 50/50 if it’s better than stock orange trigger/target sear.

I have been wanting to get a Rifle Basic Sav-2 trigger for a while. I couldn't pass this deal up and I'm glad that I didn't.

Great product at a good price! Arrived when it was supposed to. Makes the ole savage 110 a joy to shoot. No longer need a pull rope to pull the trigger.

Good solid savage trigger. Pretty easy install and adjustment. Worked with an older 110 fine.

First, let me say I have purchased several Rifle Basix triggers which were parts to install into the existing Savage accutrigger with good results. This time I ordered their "Savage 110 Target Trigger advertised as a Drop in replacement for "any" model 110. The video they recommend on line states there may be "minor" fitting required. My rifle is in 243 and it has an accustock with bottom bolt release. That's where the major problem arose because after I made "minor" fitting adjustments with a dremel tool and small jeweler file I got it installed in the action. With patient adjustment I got it to fire properly. When I went to put the action back into the stock it would not fit. I put a small thin layer of modeling clay into the stock and found the bottom of the trigger housing was touching the bolt release plate. I ground on the housing with my dremel till I finally realized that I would have to grind almost all of the trigger housing away where the trigger adjustment screw is located to get it to fit into the stock. Obviously I ruined the trigger unit and cannot return it. The trigger wont fit.. Save your money and don't buy it!

Great quality product. Came in mail super fast. Instructions were video only on YouTube. Wish there was some written ones in the box to show diagram of all parts and pieces. There are many adjustment screws and pin placement options for trigger. Slightly overwhelming at first but once you start playing with adjustments and dial in the trigger its a great setup.

Replaced a savage non-accutrigger and all I can say is wow, this thing is great, light and crisp, I will buy more.

I will start off by saying there are not a lot of options if you want a trigger under one pound for a Savage. Watching the video helps but does not address the hand fitting that may be necessary (not 100% drop-in), do not count on help from the factory. The problem comes from salvaging parts from the existing Savage trigger then fitting to the new SAV-2. The problem came from installing the SAV-2 trigger housing to the barrel then getting the salvaged sear to pivot freely (metal may need to be filed from the trigger housing ears to increase clearance) before the final assembly and adjustment.

I have upgraded two Savages with both of Rifle Basix conversions along with replacement triggers Howa and Weatherby and found them to be easy installs.
