I don't know for sure but I would estimate 0.5lbs.  I have to work on it some.  It's not safe at all.  If I work the bolt to load another cartridge and I push too fast, just working the bolt will fire the next round.  Just not safe at all.  :bdid:

sounds just about right  :chuckle:

what model of rifle are we talking about here?

Savage 200 .308

thats interesting because of how simple that trigger is. I myself have turned the screw out until there was really no spring pressure and i don't think i got much for misfires. Maybe too much oil on the sear?

not the one with the accutrigger.  I had to buy a Rifle Basix.  When I tuned it, I set it too tight and the thread locker has the allen screws in permanent.  All I need to do is file the sear a bit to get the trigger post to slide into in a bit more.  Talking fraction of millimeters here.  I don't mind it and can compensate but, my kids use this rifle too so, it needs to get fixed.  Probably work on it this weekend.

yeah stevens dont come with the accutriger. i wouldnt say the stock trigger is "adjustable" per say but it is tweakable.

how do you like that rifle basix trigger?

I bought a .223 Savage without the Accutrigger as well.  Came with about a 6-7 lb pull.  I will second the comment about being "tweakable" but NOT "adjustable".  >:(  I got it dialed back to 5 lbs, but no less.  I'll probably wind up buying an aftermarket trigger as well.

All my bolt action rifles are at 3-3.25 lbs. When my fingers are freezing, I find anything lighter becomes tricky for me.

I have a CZ with 3 lbs of pull in regular mode, and less than a pound in the "set trigger" mode... Works great on the range and would not recommend set trigger while hunting, period... My Marlin has the pull of 3.75, works OK... My Winchester M70 is also around 3lbs.

My trigger weight depends on the gun. Varmint/target/long range guns are in the 6-8oz range. These are shot as single shots though, so the gun isn't loaded until it's time to shoot. Everything else is 3-3.5#.

2.75 lbs on every rifle I own.
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

Winchester Mod. 70's have an adjustable trigger. Keep hitting the butt on the ground until it stops going off and then a little more. I love the surprise when the touch the trigger. My kids shot this gun and never had a problem, teach them to keep there finger off the trigger until ready to shoot. :tup:
