replacement rifle triggers
 

I'm going to replace my trigger on my Savage 111, (pre Accur tigger) I have a Rifle Basix trigger on my Sav. 116 set at 2.5 lbs and like it ok but it has a little creap, not crisp like breaking a glass rod. I've read that the Timney is somewhat better. What do you guys use?

I have a Timney and I think it's great. I put mine on a Ruger. Zero creep. I have mine set at 3lbs.

+1 on the Timney.

I've used both the timney triggers and the SSS and I prefer the timney.

Why not simply rework the rifle basix trigger to eliminate all the creep?

Good Idea, but we're talking about two rifles here. The 111 is the one I want to replace the stock trigger. And the 116 with the basix is fine, I just noticed a little creep.. No big deal

Another vote for the timney.Good as it gets for the money.JMHO

I have Rifle Basix triggers on 2 Ruger M77 Frontier rifles and they are excellent if you ask me. I also have a Timney trigger on a Rem. 700 and its also a good trigger. If both are avaliable for your gun, in my opinion you can't go wrong with either one.

I used the Timney for several years and while the functional aspects of it worked very well, it also has a propensity to work dysfunctionally... In particular, due to the fact that it sits on a single hing pin with little lateral support the weight of pull will vary depending on how directly it is pulled back. Additionally, the reliance on the spring for setting the weight of pull while simultaneously seating it against the safety means it can, and will, bend over time. In fact once bent, the weight of pull drops to near zero and the gun can/will slam fire as a result.

Easy fix though...spend the few extra bucks and install the much higher quality Sav-2 trigger instead.

Thank's for the info, I just ordered one through Midway...$139. Looks much stronger than the Timney and thereg Basix,

Just an suggestion but check out Canjar triggers made in Denver Co. They are single set and topnotch in both set & unset mode while being fully adjustable!They are my favorite aftermarket trigger.

Did Jewell ever develop his trigger for the Savage? It was supposed to be like an accutrigger only better.

I just installed the Sav-2 trigger, it went well. How much creep could be taken out? I'd like to get all of it out but I don't want to make it un safe.
