Hi Nic Barca,

With liability lawyers being what they are....many if not most.....factory rifles come out of the box needing some trigger attention. Any of the bolt action center fire rifles from Ruger, Remington, or Winchester, can have their triggers either tuned, or replaced, leaving you with a very "good" trigger.

You are likely to get advice, both praising and d**ning, from different individuals on this site....because of their individual preferences. (Which is fine....they should let you know how they feel.) But if I were choosing a rifle for myself, I consider all such input, go handle all the rifles you are interested in....and buy the one that fits you the best....and you like the best. Any of those triggers can be made more than acceptable. (A competent gunsmith and a little money.)

Quite a few folks will tell you they don't believe you should have to pay a penny for aftermarket adjustments. And if they feel that way....they shouldn't. But just as I buy my rifle....then choose my scope and/or bases/rings.....then choose my sling......then pick a case.....you get my point. I set the rifle up the way "I like it". And if that includes a few bucks to address a trigger I don't care for....so be it. If I were buying a semi-custom ordered rifle, (costing three or four times as much), I'd expect more from the trigger out of the box. But, (with many thanks to those same lawyers), when I buy a factory rifle from a major manufacturer, I understand the realities of liability...and economics. (For instance a bolt action from Remington's Custom Shop will have a very good trigger as is...but it cost more.) If it cost me a few more bucks to make myself happy with the trigger...that's what I'll do.

And as an aside....I think Savage is now selling "all" of its centerfire rifles with their new "Accutrigger". So that might offer you another option!

Good luck with your choice!
