Rifle Basix Sav-Rat Savage Rf Trigger For Accu-Trigger Models
If you shoot a Savage rimfire with an AccuTrigger and want a trigger that actually feels like a trigger—not a spongy compromise—the Rifle Basix Sav-Rat is worth serious consideration. This heat-treated tool steel trigger swap drops into Savage rimfire AccuTrigger models to deliver a crisp, clean break and consistent sear engagement without the mushy pretravel that plagues factory designs. It's a purpose-built upgrade for shooters who demand precision on the bench or in the field.
What makes the Sav-Rat stand out is its adjustability. Pull weight ranges from 1¼ to 4 pounds—you dial in exactly what you want. Take-up, sear engagement, and overtravel are all user-tunable, so you can fine-tune the trigger to your hand and shooting style. Whether you're running a dedicated rimfire benchrest rig or a hunting rifle where a crisp break matters, you've got control.
Installation is straightforward. The trigger uses your existing safety and pivot pin, which means it's a true drop-in fit with no gunsmithing, action modification, or stock work required. That's the kind of hassle-free upgrade that gets done on a Saturday afternoon.
