[Who is John Galt?]

I have an older Savage with a "sharpshooter" trigger.
I do like the new "accu-trigger" down to 1/2 lb.
Sweeet !

I'm a gray haired old fart - I bought both rifles before any precision factory triggers were available. Frankly, I was surprised to find Timney triggers available (at Midway USA) when I finally did, back in the '90s. I ordered two. One showed up with some pretty severe rust on it (no idea if that was Midway's fault or Timney's - still have never had a bad experience with Midway, just for reference).

I installed that one (after cleaning it up) on the 06, trigger pull was safe at 3 pounds (which I figured was about right for a 'hunting rifle'). Shoots Norma 150 gr. Jaktmatch into one hole at 100 yards (I'm not really a hunter, so I'm happy with Jaktmatch ;>).

The other one went in the .223, and gave me a safe, reliable trigger pull in the 1.5 pound range, which seemed right for my use. Shoots Federal 'plain wrap' 50 gr. HP into one hole at 100 yards (what luck! - a lot cheaper than the Jaktmatch!) But I'm out of the Federal ammo now, even though I like to buy in bulk, and can't find anymore, so I'll have to try other options.

I hear the optional factory triggers offered by Savage are even better (lucky you ;>)! Thank you, Savage, for listening to your customers, and providing world-class products at every-day prices!

Just to clarify, when I say "one hole," it's one jagged hole in the paper target (much wider than one caliber - I like ten shot groups ;>), not one nice, clean, perfectly round circle like you other folks get.

;>)

I'm a plinker, who likes to try a lot of different loads to see what works (how else do you wind up with Norma Jaktmatch in a Savage 110? I did, & it works for me. ;>). Definitely not a competitive shooter, and I don't want to give that impression...
