So, I bought a Savage Predator (line now discontinued) years ago. I always had a very light accutrigger (1 lb 10.5 ozs) but it was a tack driver, so I didn't mess with it (~1/2 MOA), never adjusted the trigger. Sometimes when working the bolt, the trigger wouldn't reset, but that was few and far between. Recently, I noticed the lack of trigger reset was happening much more often and the trigger pull seemed lighter, dangerously light. So, after watching this video, I just went down and took it apart to look at it. Guess the I found? The screw that adjusts pull weight was completely missing! The end of the spring is actually coming out the end of the hole where the screw should be. Well, that explains a lot. I'm just going to buy an allen set screw to replace it, what size do I need?
OK, it's not supposed to have a screw, the spring is the 'threaded' part that fits in the threads. But I can turn the spring with my fingers very easily, no tool needed. I can see where it would move on it's own over time, guess I'll just have to keep an eye on it. BTW, I measured the pull weight before adjusting it and it was down to ~10 ozs, light enough that the sear often wouldn't catch. But, it's all fixed now.
this special tool you speak of, is it in reality just a mini allen key? only asking because i did not get any tools with my used 10tr, which is sub moa out of the box. thank you Savage. thanks for the video.
@@SavageAccuracy that is awesome. luckily my local gun shop had a loose one so i borrowed it. let me tell you guys at savage this. that 10tr is the best shooting rifle i have ever owned bar none. thank you again for the products you make, and stand behind.
I just bought an A17 and i have been hearing about it doubling firing if you adjust the trigger too light ? or this have already been fix ? Makes it a little bit scary to lower the trigger, i love a lighter trigger but if its dangerous i prefer not to....any information will help ....THANK !
Turn to tool clockwise to increase the trigger pull and counter-clockwise to decrease the trigger pull. You can find more info on this in your owner's manual: www.savagearms.com/content?p=manuals
This video is not very helpful. Brevity in videos is a good thing, but this one kinda overdoes it. It whizzes through the action removal so fast without showing which of the two trigger guard screws is to be removed. It leaves out entirely the most important info; which way turning the wrench increases or decreases the trigger pull and how much does the trigger pull change with each full or partial revolution of the wrench. When I saw this video was produced by Savage, I expected it to be the best, but now I'll have to go find a better video. It'll probably be one where some guy yaps for 20 minutes telling me 3 minutes of info, but at least I'll get the info I need.
Worst putrid trigger I have ever saw, tried to adjust the one on my a22 with no luck, finally had to cut off spring coils to get it under 3.5 lbs , everyone I know hates them
