or just replace it with a Rifle Basix, Timney or Sharp Shooter Supply trigger and be better off in the long run.

Re: Adjusting a Savage trigger
If I was you being the owner of sss and rifle basix,I would go with the rifle basix as it is easier to install with the free dvd they give to adjust it correctly.The sss is nice but not meant to be taken apart.Go with the rifle basix2.

Re: Adjusting a Savage trigger
I have had the Rifle Basix, and now have the SSS Comp trigger. I definately prefer the Rifle Basix trigger over the SSS. I had to do some modifications to get it to work with my Accustock rifle, but it works none the less.

Best way to adjust an accutrigger is to take it off and throw it away!!!

While that may be true, he doesn't have an accutrigger.

Re: Adjusting a Savage trigger
I'm in the middle of working on a very similar Steven's 200 trigger.
This aught to get you started:

And here's how to reassemble if you get lost.

A couple personal notes:
Working from front to back in your photo: On the trigger itself, first hex key is creep adjustment, second is overtravel, third is safety engagement. The shiny key with the slot for a screwdriver is a basic pull weight adjustment. Replace the spring with one made of lighter steel wire (large safety pin might work) and bend it to the shape of the factory spring. Take your time and make sure you understand how everything works before you go crazy removing large amounts of metal from the trigger sear or sear. Once you really understand what does what, polishing the sear and contact points in conjunction with adjusting the creep via the key will probably get you some very nice results. Just turning that over-travel key in an appropriate amount will make a big difference, I believe.
I have taken the AWFUL, gritty, 7-ish lb factory trigger on mine down to a nice, crisp 3-ish lb pull. I probably won't go any lighter since this rifle will also be used by a 12 year old girl during deer season this year and I don't want her carrying a rifle with a really light trigger.
