There is a good little trick here:

Look at the top thread "Savage Trigger Shim"

It doesn't seem to be an overly complicated process, but if in doubt, let someone who knows for sure what they are doing, do it.

ok i did the shim trick and it took a lot of play out of the trigger but the pull is still heavy. i think i am going to do the spring and see what that will do. i have a savage rifle "243" and the trigger is great. i wonder why they put such a sorry trigger on the 17 hmr? from what i have been reading they all are heavy and have ton's of unessary travel. i thought that it was just my gun. wonder if there are any more options besides spending more money on a new trigger. that is the whole reason i bought savage is becouse they were good guns and cheap. now i think i should have gone with a ruger
