Hard to adjust older Savage triggers for RELIABLE light pulls. I'd suggest a Rifle Basix or SSS aftermarket trigger if you want 2 pounds or so. JMHO

Re: trigger pull question
be careful with it, a friend of mine turned the trigger too light and caused a bang when he closed the bolt too hard. of course, the muzzle was pointed down range, but it sure took him by surprise

Re: trigger pull question
After adjusting the trigger, always try shutting the bolt hard and fast to see if the firing pin falls. If it does fall you need to readjust to where it doesn't fire accidentally.
We lightened the trigger on my 700 and did that simple test and my firing pin was indeed falling when the bolt was worked hard. Would have been a bad thing to find out the hard way with a round in the chamber.

Good
glad my friend's experience helped others so one do not walk down the same path.
Hope your trigger pull turned out the way you wanted it, and have fun at the range.

Re: trigger pull question
You try to put the safety on and pull on the trigger, then push the safety off? Its a test i do everytime i adjust one.

The 2 loudest noises there is when it comes to firearms... a BOOM when there is supposed to be a "click", and a CLICK when there is supposed to be a "BOOM"!!
