The Rifle Basix instructions said to first tighten the safety lever screw, but I found that I could barely move it. So I backed it off to what it was at with the factory trigger. Then I installed the SAV-1 and adjusted the four set screws in this order: 1 trigger pull weight; 2 sear adj. I will plan to check it after each trip to the range.
I think I could back out the over-travel and safety screws pretty easily, apply some thread locker, etc. I mainly posted because I was wondering about the effectiveness of the factory applied thread locking compound. After about 20 rounds I noticed a slight trigger creep. The pull weight was heavier than I wanted it, too. For comparison I was also shooting my 6. The conclusion I'd make is that the factory installed thread-locking paste was not sufficient, even with nail polish capping the ends.
I'm not even sure if that stuff brown paste is considered a thread locker. So I backed out all four screws and liberally applied blue Loctite, adjusting the trigger just a tad lighter along the way. Fingers crossed it all stays put. Similar Threads rifle basix sav-2???

Joined: Apr Southest Alabama. Have you checked on getting a smith to adjust it for you. The factory triggers really have a lot of potential. Whatever a 7x57 can do a can do better. True fair chase is you in the woods buttnaked with nothing but your finger nails and teeth. If you'e fixin' to put a hole in something, make it a hole to remember.
I thought about sending it to a gunsmith and having the factory trigger worked on. The only problem is that I really don't know any local gunsmiths and I'm sort of leery about sending my "baby" to the Doc, unless I absolutely have to. Thanks for everyone's input, especially about testing to make sure there are no slam fires. I think I'll order the Rifle Basix and install it myself. We'll see what happens. Thanks again, everyone.
Joined: Sep I have done a few timneys on Mark II's and didn't think it was a drop in install. How do they Rifle Basix get around the filing of the rotary safety? BTW I have had Ruger triggers worked on both ways and the replacement trigger always comes out on top. Originally Posted by Oldelkhunter. Originally Posted by selmer.

I installed a spec tec trigger that had to be filed and was wondering the same thing when I ordered the Rifle Basix. I think they get around it by making it right in the first place rather than too big just in case there is a discrepancy. Georgia Woods. I will not purchase any item from Rilfe Basix and the following quote is the reason. You should leave the bolt uncocked" This was the response I received when my rifle began slam firing and firing with the safety engaged after installation of one of their triggers.
I takes a lot to make me speak negatively about a company Check my posts and you will see I'm not a basher but that response was idiotic. Especially since this was a Youth rifle intended to be used by my 7 year old daughter. YMMV, Robert. Bruz "You can't scare me I have kids". Oh heck! Now you really got me thinking which is dangerous.
I had convinced myself that I was going to try the RB trigger but your post is got me rethinking the issue. I know at some point I'll have to make a decision on my own on what to do. However, when you get different yet certainly valid input from people who have actually used the very product you're interested in, it does make things confusing. I must admit that, when I read the part of the instructions that said to work the bolt gently, I knew to what they were referring and that made me uneasy.
Maybe some other folks will chime in with their experiences on this subject. Thanks again to all. Joined: Jul Gringo Loco. Originally Posted by Retsof.

Not knowing if he was still in business and not certain of how to spell his name, I did a web search and got lucky.
Sure enough, he was listed. His name is Eduardo Chahin and from what I've heard, he builds custom guns, stocks, you name it. So, I think I'll give him a call. I don't need a target quality trigger, just something better than what I have. So, if he can work on the existing trigger and he does quality work which from what I've heard it seems that he can , then I won't have to worry about any potential safety issues. Boy, am I glad I thought of that just kidding.
Joined: Mar SE Nebraska. I had to do a little filing on my RB to get the safety to work properly on a first year production MarkII Varmint without the 2-stage trigger. In my case though it wasn't exactly a drop in conversion. I think reworking the factory trigger is probably just as good an option if not better. Now that I think I've found a good gunsmith, that's the route I'm going to take. Joined: Nov Good move on fixing the original.
The MkII is a great trigger in that it is easy to work on not adjustable and can be safely worked to a very nice, crisp pull. No need for the replacement triggers. Grayling, MI. Originally Posted by FVA. North Wales, UK. Pete E.
