RE: Trigger Job
A trigger job will usually cost between $30 and $50 depending on where you go. Since you would probably have a timney installed by a gunsmith as well that would add about 30 bucks to the cost of the trigger. So you are looking at maybe $50 for a trigger job and about $80 - $90 for a Timney installed.
A savage trigger can definetly be made to feel every bit as good as a Timney provided you use a compitent gunsmith.
