SAVAGE STRIKER TRIGGER   I had a Striker a few years back, shot it a lot and sold it. The trigger started out horrible, great variation in pull from shot to shot; sometimes the pull was so hard my hand shook. I adjusted the trigger repeatedly and finally it got somewhat better.   I bought another Striker last fall, the trigger was the same-horrible. I adjusted it a few times, and then tried another approach. I oiled every moving surface of the trigger and bolt, and shot it. Oiled it, a lot, cleaned the excess oil off and shot it. The oil is synthetic food safe oil.  After nine months and a lot of oiling and more than 3000 shots, 99.9% cast bullets, through the pistol, the trigger is OK. It's not great, but it's far from horrible. The trigger manageable and doesn't cause fliers as it did earlier.

hi joeb; i like the challenge of trigger ” adjustments ” ... not familiar with the current striker trigger ... they used to be a little strange .

can you post a pic or two of the trigger ?? does it have the accu-trigger experiment ??

i suppose i should buy a savage action....looks as tho i am in need of some humble pie ... ( joke ) ...

i suppose one hop-up would go to the remington hop-up where you get a rear handle stock and then use a rear mounted trigger probably find a $20 factory accu-trigger on gunbroker ....

or take yours entirely apart and polish everything that touches anything ( and clearance all things that shouldn't touch )... then fiddle with trigger spring and trigger/sear/bolt sliding areas .

if fitted properly even your factory front trigger shoe type should get down to 1.5 lbs ” safely ” ....at that setting you should only chamber with the gun pointed downrange .

remember 1911 have front triggers ...and a great let-off .

enjoy your new toy !!
