SAVAGE STRIKER 503 TRIGGER

[lrwatson]

I've just acquired this pistol which is based on the #93 action, but it does not have an Accu-Trigger. It is already fun but trigger is heavy and some creepy. Those of you that have this pistol, what have you done to improve the trigger? I want to hunt with this and the Rifle Basix sounds dangerous and so want something other than that.

You should be able to adjust the trigger down to a more civilized pull. I've got a pre-accutrigger savage hvy barrel 223 that wasn't fun to shoot. When a gunsmith buddy of mine adjusted it, I could easily hold dime groups at 100. Be careful though, not too light. See a qualified smith to get it done right, but this isn't a big job, so don't let them shank you.
