Has anyone with the Savage Impulse upgraded their trigger yet? If so, what brand? Has anyone tried the JARD trigger for the Impulse? If so, how did it work for you?
JARD Trigger for Savage Impulse
- Thread starter Longshot231
- Start date
I have one in a drawer for a Model 10 with bottom bolt release.. I could never get it to fit with an XLR Element chassis. Lots of fit issues that I don't think it would have been much better in a normal stock. On paper they look awesome.
I took a chance and ordered one. I might regret it but, nobody else makes an aftermarket trigger for the Impulse.
Several years ago, I got a Jard trigger for the Ruger American Rimfire. The pins wouldn't line up with the receiver. Jard was nice enough to give me a refund for that one.
If it works, I'll follow up with a report.
I installed the Jard trigger on the Savage Impulse. It was a little finicky to install but got it on. At first the safety would not engage but the instructions were clear on how the adjust for that.
A function/safety check by slamming the bolt forward as hard as I could revealed that the sear engagement need adjustment. This took the trigger pull up from 1 lb. to 1.5 pounds before I was satisfied.
That's a little more than I like but I also have some peace of mind that the rifle is made as safe as possible.

Did you try the drop test after you removed the spring ? Last night I dropped it from waist-high onto the butt pad with the safety on "fire". It did not trip the trigger. In fact, the impact moved the safety back to the "safe" position. Do yours have the extra spring inside the spring? If...
