Warren,
If you haven't adjusted the trigger down on your Savage, I bet you could shrink that 2 inches down to at least
1 1/2 inches by easily turning your trigger down to 2-3 pounds. I like my trigger even lighter than that. I bought a Tikka a while back, and the first thing I did was turn the trigger down. The triggers on the Savage and the Tikka are very good.
