[QUOTE="JSHKS, post: 2837001, member: 103581"] Interesting this thread has carried on for two years since my first post on it. I have built and purchased a few more rifles since. Bought a Badrock, best money I have spent for a long time. Have now used a Zermatt action and a couple of ARC actions. Everything has went up in cost and price, new bare Savage actions just weren’t the deal they were some years back. I purchased complete 6BR Savage with original and a prefit. The fellow had put a RB trigger in it. I and two gunsmiths I trust tried to get it to work. Would trip off/slam fire, with even gentle closing. Unnerving is an understatement. Took complete trigger out of another LRP type action, bone stock and no tinkering, it worked fine and was very serviceable. Parts were removed and the RB trigger installed. All of the problems came back around again. The three of us came to the conclusion there is some different geometry to the LRP trigger than the standard one. Ordered a JARD and have been completely happy. The JARD replaces ALL of the Savage trigger parts. The folks at JARD were totally helpful to me. I know others have complained. Trigger Tech is supposed to be working on a Savage trigger. Dunno if they will get it done or not. No the TT trigger is not a Jewel or Bix and Andy, but what is. The TT is very serviceable in the four rigs I have them in. See some guys hollering about weight of varmint rigs, lol, you won’t want to borrow my 17 Remington, 27” full bull weighted stock is right at 37-38 pounds. Definitely not a walking varmint rig. I can see all of my impacts. Yeah I spent some $$$$ on the other actions, all were bought on some type of sale. None of my Savages are going anywhere, or will be replaced by an XYZ action. Hunting critters or around critters with a mouth full of sharp teeth and big claws is a bit different than rodent hunting. I would ot even trust a 700 action in bear country. A Mauser type claw extractor or stay home for me. Heck on my PD rifles I have taken ejectors out of a couple to keep from flinging brass into the abyss never to be found. A different tool for a different job the way I see it. [/QUOTE]
