Thread: Savage triggers setting off when bumping the blade

They designed the trigger like that because it let them include a lighter, crisper trigger on factory rifles than would have been possible otherwise with the litigation culture in the states - the blade blocks the sear and prevents potential bump firing etc.

I've had quite a few Savages and never had an issue with it, best factory trigger I've used.

It sounds more like a technique/hand position issue to me even with smaller hands - unless there is something quite different with the fit of the chassis stock or the hogue grip is too fat for his hand? Mine have all been regular sporter shape stocks apart from a thumbhole 22.
