[QUOTE="hammertyme, post: 415891, member: 12863"] In the hands of a competent Striker smith that trigger can be made to be as good a trigger as most would want for typical hunting. Fred @ Sharp Shooter Supply comes to mind first as he knows them well enough to make a couple of triggers himself. Converting to rear grip with these are a snap and they are absolutely wonderful triggers. Mine all run at 2-2.5 pounds and a quite clean. Some of us have been hunting with handguns for 40 plus years. The neat thing about your Savage is you can buy and thread on barrels and bolt heads yourself without any super expensive tools or wait times or expenses for gunsmiths. Similar to the break opens but you can truely use one scope and just swap out the barrels on the savage. You can change that bolt head and be shooting a 204 Ruger or a 460 Weatherby in minutes. Many people getting into Savage do not realize that factory takeoff Savage barrels are readily available for $50. I have quite a number of very accurate shooting Factory barrels that will shoot 1/2" I have two or three 338 Win Mag barrels that were once rifle barrels that have been cut and crowned at 17" and 19" that will literally shoot into one hole. This can not be done with other makes and models without spending a chunk of change. There are a number of barrel companies that make after market pre-fit Savage barrels that all you have to do is thread the barrel on, set the nut and you are shooting. Jim @ Northland Shooters Supply is also a good one for knowledge and availability of Savage stuff. [url=http://www.centershotrifles.com/sales/]Center Shot Rifles - Products / Sales[/url] [/QUOTE]
