Savage AXIS Pro Trigger Kit
Enhance your Savage AXIS rifle with the best aftermarket trigger upgrade! Our comprehensive Pro Trigger Kit includes a Savage AXIS Trigger Spring Kit along with all required stainless steel hardware. It also comes with synthetic grease infused with PTFE for smooth operation.
Achieve a significant reduction in trigger pull, lowering it from an average of ~6lbs to your choice of ~1.5lbs, ~2.5lbs or ~3.5lbs. Up to a 40% reduction in trigger pull!
The kit offers three options for trigger return springs, allowing you to tailor the level of trigger pull reduction and drop test ratings:
- 1.5lb or 2.5lb Trigger Return Spring: Ideal for benchrest shooting, these springs provide the maximum trigger pull reduction. Note that they have limited drop test rating (3", 6", and 9" only).
- 3.5lb Trigger Return Spring: Suited for hunting, this spring offers a substantial yet safe reduction in trigger pull and has an unlimited drop test rating (3", 6", 12"+).
The Pro Trigger Kit is compatible with aftermarket Boyd's Stocks or any other aftermarket stocks for your Savage AXIS rifle. It also works with the factory stock, offering additional clearance in the trigger assembly due to a specialized overtravel screw. (Compatible with Savage AXIS models equipped with an AccuTrigger. Not compatible with the Savage EDGE model.)
Additional features include custom 300-series stainless steel shims that eliminate side-to-side play in the trigger housing. The included synthetic grease with PTFE not only aids in shim installation but also ensures a smoother trigger pull.

Worth Every Penny
Just installed this into my Savage last night. Man, I thought the trigger was nice from the factory. I decided to go with the 2.5lb spring. It it so light and so crisp on the pull. Better make sure you practice good trigger discipline, because this baby barely takes any pressure to go off. The definition of a hair trigger. I can only imagine what it'll be like if I try the 1.5lb spring. Also, the spacers provided to take the side to side slop out of the trigger work perfectly. If you're thinking about buying one of these, or you own a Savage Axis, stop thinking and buy it now!
The best spring kit I’ve ever installed
I don’t write reviews but this product blew me away. Super easy install. True to advertised spring weight. Made the trigger less sloppy side to side and though pull. Fantastic product. Every save I own will have this now

Revitalizing the old bolty
Im so insanely impressed. Idk where theyre getting "40% lighter" from. The 1.5 feels about 80% lighter. With no overtravel. No side to side play. If your rifle can accept this. Buy it. Buy it yesterday. Possibly the best 20 bucks ive ever spent
Savage axis precision
I got my mcarbo spring kit and installed the 1.5 pound spring immediately. The install was super easy and simple. Tested it multiple times and was registering at 15 ounces!!!! Highly recommend this spring kit!
Savage AXIS Pro Trigger Kit
Kit far exceeded my expectations. Love the 6.5 CM Savage AXIS, but the trigger was a bit over the top on pull. Took chance on trigger kit, it took maybe 5 minutes to install. So far very pleased. After shooting the gun a bit more on the 2.5lb spring I may switch to 1.5.
Don't hunt with it, just target shoot for fun, not even competition.
Great product
Great product. Arrived super fast, great quality, and to get three springs and the shims for only 30 dollars when every other trigger upgrade is at least $100 is an amazing deal. Highly recommend this set for your Savage Axis!
Does this ONLY work for Axis? Any chance I can use it on 110 trail hunter?
YES, this should fit the 110s

Yes - As long as the hole in the trigger is threaded.
Do you make an overtravel piece without the screw in for the newer savage axis?
NO - Our kit only works if the hole in the trigger is threaded.
Would you please weigh in on the subject of whether this will work with accutrigger platforms or not? The answers in the q&a section state that this will not work with the accutrigger models, but the product description states that it will work with accutrigger models.
We can now confirm that the kit IS compatible with the Accutrigger models
Will this work for Cabela's exclusive "Savage Axis XP Bolt-Action Rifle in TrueTimber Strata - 6.5 Creedmoor"? (SKU: 2722888) I have one on order.
Will this kit work with the Savage Axis XP Next Generation 400 Legend. I keep getting mixed opinions.
The M*CARBO Savage AXIS Pro Trigger Kit is designed to enhance the performance of Savage AXIS rifles by reducing trigger pull weight and improving overall trigger feel. However, its compatibility with your specific rifle model—the Savage AXIS XP Next Generation chambered in .400 Legend—depends on certain factors.
Key Compatibility Considerations
Trigger Type: The kit is not compatible with Savage AXIS rifles equipped with the AccuTrigger system. It is intended for models with the standard (non-AccuTrigger) trigger assembly.
Threaded Trigger Return Spring Hole: Some Savage AXIS triggers, particularly newer models, may lack a threaded hole for the trigger return spring. The M*CARBO kit requires this hole to be threaded to install the overtravel screw. If your trigger lacks this threading, you would need to tap the hole yourself, which involves additional tools and care.

Does this mess with the savage axis being drop safe?
Mona, thank you for the reply. I’ve had it installed for a while now and it works great. I found a way to use the kit on a non-threaded trigger assembly too. It works flawlessly btw

Yes — the M*CARBO Savage AXIS Pro Trigger Kit does work with the Savage AXIS chambered in .400 Legend, as long as it is a non-AccuTrigger model.
I ust purchased a SavageAxis built this year, 2024. Will this fit my rifle? Do you know if the trigger is tapped to fit the over travel screw?
Thank you
Rick
IT will fit as long as rear trigger hole is threaded
Yes — the M*CARBO Savage AXIS Pro Trigger Kit is compatible with your 2024 Savage AXIS, as long as it’s a non-AccuTrigger model. Savage has continued to use the same trigger group design in their non-AccuTrigger AXIS rifles, even in recent 2024 production runs.
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 spring just sits in hole under tension. Can you provide the specs on the overtravel screw? Does not match anything in my SAE and Metric Tap & Dies set(limited). It would give me idea on proper tap or approx size to get another set screw.
It will not work if the rear Tigger hole is not threaded.
350 Legend, but same issue here. Despite the prior advice, i may try to tap. Stock trigger is so trash, if it breaks, I'll just suck it up and buy aftermarket.
I ran into the same issue. Have you resolved the problem?
Don't try to tap it. I did and the trigger broke at the hole. Crickets from Mcarbo. They won't contact me back.

I have both an Axis and an Axis II. The Axis II has a silver part on the trigger and is adjustable once you take the stock off and look. The Axis only has the single peice trigger and is noticably different. I added this kit to my Axis and it has the same adjustments and performance as my Axis II with the accutrigger. It doesn't add the peice to the trigger itself, it changes the mechanics of the trigger inside.

I recently watched a video with this kit installed on an AccuTrigger and was wondering why you guys say that it will only work with the Standard Triggers? Is that true or not?
The trigger return springs in our kit can be lighter than some of the AccuTrigger's trigger safety springs out there, so if you install our springs and your rifle has an AccuTrigger, there is a chance that when you go to pull the trigger, the trigger will fire before the safety blade is pulled all the way down and the trigger will lock up because the safety blade wasn't depressed all the way down. Our 3.5 lb spring is the only spring that will work with the Accutriggers but for safety reasons we state that you shouldn't install our spring kit if your rifle has an AccuTrigger.
Will this kit work in a model 111 pre-accutrigger? (circa 2001-2002)?

When yall install the stock back on the action. What do you torque the actions screws to or will it have an affect on accuracy?
It depends on what stock you have. If you have a Savage factory stock just Google savage stock torque specs and you will see a Savage FAQ page with the specs listed.
The video I watch to install for the Axis shows a travel screw with a head on it the kit shows something different. It also has shims and grease that is not mentioned in the video.
February 27, 2023 12:33 PM
The installation video was made on Jan 26, 2018, about five years ago. We have made different upgrades to the kits, but the installation is the same.
In the video here, you can see at about 0:40 in the footage that the kit has grease and shims.
I just bought the savage axis compact .243 win. For my wife. I would like to know if this trigger kit would be compatible?
It fits Savage AXIS Rifles with Standard Triggers only. Will not work for Savage AXIS Rifles with AccuTrigger
If your rifle have an Accutrigger, it won't work

Notes it says will not work on Edge, I have one and would like to use. What is difference between initial savage edge and axis? Thought it related to name change for copyright reasons
I believe there are some minor differences in tolerances. But we have not been able to get our hands on an Edge to test it out.
what is the spring material
hencar November 11, 2022 10:57 AM
Our springs are made of the highest quality spring steel ASTM A228 Music Wire & 302 Stainless Steel Spring Wire.
Hmmm, why won't this kit work on an accutrigger ? The fitting looks the same and even though there is something wrong with my accutrigger spring ( won't be set any lower than the factory 3 lbs setting ), SA won't provide a spare part to my place, so I'm ready to give it a go in case there's any chance it might work ( better than cutting off a coil, ain't it ? ) ...
Apparently this kit will work with the Accutrigger. I just watched a video where it was installed on a Savage axis II. The kit performed perfectly with a pull weight around 12.5 oz.
The kit was specifically designed to replace the Standard Trigger springs. We made the Flat Trigger to replace the AccuTrigger.
Do you ship to Canada
no, however you can buy our parts from one of our Canadian vendors, such as Bullseye North
will this work on a savage mark 2? Do you sell a trigger kit for the mark 2?
We do not have a spring kit that is compatible with the Savage Mark 2, please send us an email to help@mcarbo.com so we can save your contact info on our new product idea/request log!
Will this work for Savage Model 111?
Based on what I just discovered when trying to install this kit into my 111, NO, this will not work in a Model 111 if it a s 3 bolt rifle. The 111 three bolt has a lever style adjustable trigger.

Hey Brother,
So long as you do not have an accutrigger, It will work!
I have the savage axis xp and it looks a bit different than your install video. The thumbs safety is on top of the assembly when removed and trigger doesn't seem to have the slop requiring the washers. Do you have an install video for this type of rifle?
I have a savage axis xp newer version it works find. The shims may not be require depending on the tolerance it had from the factory. Its a good thing you don't need the shims. I could have purchase the kit without them and still been happy.
Hello Ryan, unfortunately, we do not have an installation video for the Savage Axis XP. If you do not feel the washers are a necessary component for your XP, you may leave those out of the firearm.
Will this work with the Accu trigger? Thanks
Great question, unfortunately this trigger spring kit does not work in rifles equipped with the Savage AccuTrigger.
