I install this in a savage 7mm08 with a Boyds stock. The kit I used wasn't the pro kit it was the standard kit with a machined screw and spring. The Boyd stock required wood material to be remove for the head of the machine screw head to clear when reinstalling the barrel to the stock but was down very easy once I figured it out. It works great now.
Installed the deluxe kit in an Axis 6.5 Creedmoor. Have not had a chance to shoot the rifle yet but the difference in trigger pull is noticeable different. Great idea and product. Didn’t like having to pay almost $12 for shipping such a small and lite box though. WOW, $12?
Dropped the 3.5lbs spring into my 308 axis, which I use as my hunting rifle. Trigger pull is much smoother & I am extremely pleased. Glad I did this before dropping more $ on a high end trigger upgrade. Going to leave the rifle as it is now, cause it performs great.
I purchased this trigger kit to reduce the trigger pull. It did exactly that. Watched the how to video on it and it was pretty easy to install.
All I can say is wow! Easy to install and what a difference!
MCARBO Trigger kit for my Savage Axis made the world of difference in. Performs as well as much more expensive triggers in some of my other rifles. Shipping time was sooner than advertised. Great company, great products!
I installed the trigger kit and was AMAZED at the difference in the trigger pull!! I didnt realize how heavy it was until now!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
Great trigger kit, makes a hug difference in the gun. Highly recommend, and they have a great video on how to install it.
I ordered this to help reign in my accuracy issues due to the extremely heavy trigger pull of my Savage Axis. I was shooting 3-3¹/² in groups at 75 yrds before installing this trigger kit. The kit was super easy to install, and the results were phenomenal. I will admit, the first 2 shots was a little wide due to the fact that I wasn't expecting such a change in effort to fire and the rifle fired before I was on target. However once I realized how little effort was needed to fire, I went from 3-3¹/² in groups to 1-1¹/² in groups. All things considered this is an excellent choice for upgrading your trigger that won't break the bank, unlike aftermarket replacement triggers. Thanks Mcarbo!
I don't know why an Axis owner wouldn't buy and install this product. All of the "DIY" trigger-mods out there on the interwebs (that I've seen) are a waste of time, totally sub-par, janky as ****, lazy, and amateur at best. 20 bucks... 20 bucks and you change your entire experience with the rifle in a must-have way.
I bought one of these a few years ago and installed and all was good. I got a Savage Axis (Not II or Accutrigger ) in 400 Legend. I went to install this Trigger kit and was going fine till I went to add the Overtravel Screw and ran into a issue. The hole to Install is not threaded! Not sure if factory changed or this is some escape but tapered spring just sits in hole under tension. I have tried to drill and tap the hole myself but I was unable to drill out with a Cobalt bit in a hand drill. So trigger must be of a very hard metal now (maybe why they are no longer tapping). But now I have to work around the overtravel screw (nothing to hold kit spring as not tapered) to make my kit work. I would not have ordered if I had known this.
As the title says, however in this case I am impressed. Took me about 5 - 10 minutes to the install and boy what a heck of a difference. I originally installed the 2.5lb spring and thought way too light for me so swapped it out for the 3.5lb spring and I was happier with that. A wee tip for anyone buying this kit in the future, to remove the e-clip, use a small flat head screwdriver with a magnetic tip and the e-clip will stick to it and won't fly off never to be seen again. 5/5 bullets for this product
Description stated 3.5-2.5lb spring option. after installation of the springs I showed 1.75 & 2.25lb pulls. I stuck with the 2.25lb pull and will keep it but not what I expected. Easy to install and worth the money. I have purchased several items from Mcarbo they are all very good quality and easy to install. Will buy from again.
I ordered this kit about a week ago and recieved it yesterday. The installation was extremely easy with the video tutorial. The trigger now has less wobble and is noticeably lighter. For 20 dollars, the value is just right. Customer service seems to be among the best in the industry.
Bought a Savage Axis to coyote hunt with. Like the rifle, hate the factory trigger. Hard for me to hold the crosshairs on target a pull the 7# trigger. A friend bought his grandson a axis a couple years ago, his grandson couldn't pull the trigger, we cut one ring off of the factory spring, it helped but the trigger is still to hard to pull. I started looking for something better and found MCARBO. I put the pro kit on my rifle and the trigger pull went from 7# to 4#. I now have a rifle I can shoot. Just ordered 2 more kits, one for the friends grandsons rifle, and one for another friends coyote rifle. We have a coyote problem on our hunting lease, I think we can now work on that. One more thing the trigger now pulls straight back thanks to the pro kit shims, no more trigger wobble. If you have a Savage Axis in your safe that you don't shoot very much, put one of these pro kits on it. They are fun to shoot.
If you're still reading reviews just stop reading and click buy now. This kit took 10 mins or less to install, and completely transformed my trigger. The shims completely eliminated any play in the stock trigger, and with the 1.5 lb spring adjusted with the travel screw, this garbage stock trigger is not just acceptable but enjoyable. Fast shipping and someone from the company even followed up with me to make sure my order went well. This product and company rocks.
