Savage model 93 17HMR

[backstrap]

i bought a savage model 93 17hmr last night and was wondering if any body kows if there is a trigger job to help the trigger pull  like there is for the marlins?? i am not talking about putting a new trigger in it just to kinda tinkering to the triger to make it better thanks for the info John

Yes there is........I cut about 3/4's of a coil off the original coil spring, and put a piece of .025 brass shim stock under the screws that hold the trigger on......a lite polish of the sear and disconnecter and you've got a nice trigger.

This isn't my mod.......but I've done it and it works great.....

Have a look at this:

Like any trigger work make sure that it holds before loading and shooting it.  I start by tapping the stock with a rubber hammer, and if it stays cocked then I rap it on the floor a few times fairly hard.  I do this with the chamber empty, but with the gun cocked of course.

I went the Rifle Basix route with mine, and have a great, crisp, creep free 1.5 pound trigger.  And as hard as I tried I can't get it to go off unless I pull the trigger.  If I had a complaint it would be the trigger is a little to light.

You must have gotten old stock, they added the Accutrigger to the rimfires last year. You find the announcement in Savages News Tab, here's the link:

The newer 93's do come with the accuratrigger.......

I've had mine a couple of years now.....and it didn't come with it.......

I got mine before the acu triggers came out, and it was a little stiff at first also. But after about 100 rounds and really getting a feel for it,  I like it. It's probably one of the heaviest triggers I have, but I don't think I would change change it. I simply fell in love with it, just the way it is

Bought mine at Dick's sporting in January and it came through with the "accu-trigger".

I did the trigger work on my savage 17hmr. The shims I tried actually bent the piece to be shimmed after many trials and tightening it down. Right to the point where I do not need shims. Follow the instructions and when you get it aprt you will see how it works. One major word of caution....... Test your safety and trigger while you are doing it. There is a fine line between good and crap you went to much. At one point I thought I had the best trigger ever. What actually would happen was, if I pulled the trigger while the safety was on, it would partially engage the firing pin, then when the saftey was flipped off.........pow! NOT GOOD. Use care. It is not difficult.
