I was wondering how dangerous it is to do this yourself? I have a savage that doesn't have accutrigger, and really don't feel like taking it to a gunsmith.

well if it dont have accu-trigger how will you do it?
now i did mine on my sako, got zero lash and 2.75lbs of pull on factory trigger that does allow both lash and weight adjustment

v35,
That is a very valid comment. That is why I say that any adjustments should be done by someone with experience in doing it right. The weight of pull on the accu-trigger, and x-mark pro are excluded from that, as they are made to be externally adjutable by the user. But as you say, sear engagement, and the angles at which they mate are VERY important.

Good luck!
On the 110 model there is only one screw to let out. to lessen pull.
If you do adjust mark the screw with red nail polish or something to make it easy to go back later.
Make changes very small incrementally. Like 1/8 turn at a time.
After adjusting dry fire to test and actuate bolt at least 10 times.
You also rap the but to the floor a few times to be certain the adjustment has actuated after your adjustment.
Much easier on Savage 110 than say Rem 700 which has 3 adjustment ppoints. Which is the reason many amatuer foul up Rem 700 triggers and cause safety problems...

No such thing as a 30 dollar gunsmith here

I don't think he meant his gunsmith's hourly labor rate, just the charge for trigger adjustment. One of the gunsmith I know charges ...

amount of sear engagement and be good with fine work. I use a jewelers'
magnifying headset on small work.
As a kid, I blew a hole in an apartment wall with a sporterized 8.2x50R
Steyr rifle while cycling the bolt using live ammo.
In that case sear engagement was insufficient----bad news.
