Review
Takes the heavy trigger and makes it crisp clean no slack and usable. It took it from 6lbs to just under 3. The shims took out most of the side to side slack. I plan on ordering the spring set up for more of my rifles.
I just put the trigger kit in... what a huge difference..night and day.. I only ended up needing 1 of the washers to tighten up the side to side play. Works great
First and foremost I want to recognize mcarbo as a very reputable and friendly company. Their communication is excellent. Second, this part worked great and I would highly recommend it!
I just installed on both my 6.5 and 270. Everything fit nice and tight. Triggers work smoothly. I didn't measure the resistance before or after but I would say definitely at least a 50% reduction. Need to order one for my LCP now!
You won't believe the huge improvement this kit makes in a standard axis trigger. Highly recommend installing this kit.
Excellent upgrade to the notoriously heavy Axis trigger. I had avoided the Axis for many years because of the bad/heavy factory triggers. Let’s keep this kit a secret so the price of the regular Axis rifle doesn’t go up too much, lol! I have no way to measure trigger weight so I don’t know what mine breaks at, but it feels much better than the stock setup. I had a few people at the range try it and they were all surprised and said it felt very crisp and light, but not dangerous (I used the hunting weight spring, as it’s a hunting rifle). Trigger was even compared to Tikka and Bergara triggers by a couple people so I think that speaks volumes about it and it’s definitely money well spent!
Got the Axis .270 at the Cabelas Black Friday Sale this year. The trigger was very heavy. A friend sent me a link to the trigger spring kit and it is a huge improvement. The installation video is perfect - it really is that easy to install.
Bought this for my sons rifle. It is a huge improvement over the factory trigger.
The axis pro trigger spring kit was incredibly easy to install only took about 5 minutes to complete, the difference in the trigger pull weight and how smooth it is is amazing. Worth every cent
Prior to installing this M*Carbo trigger kit, I measure the stock trigger and it averaged 6 lbs. 0.2 oz. from 7 pulls. I selected the 2.5 lb. trigger return spring because I prefer 2 lb. trigger pulls. Once installed, the trigger pull measured an average of 0 lbs. 13.9 ounces from 7 pulls. The trigger was insane and it definitely qualified as a hair trigger. That wasn’t what I was going for, so I went to the 3.5 lb. trigger. Once installed, it measured an average of 1lb. 11.1oz from 7 pulls.
This kit greatly improves the trigger pull and travel of the trigger. Would highly recommend for all savage axis gun owners.
I spent 12 minutes putting in the 2 1/2 lb. spring and shims. It was incredible - no travel, great reset, and I could feel what I was doing rather than concentrating on pulling hard without veering off due to the strong pull required. I took it back apart and replaced the 2 1/2 lb. spring with the 3 1/2 lb. spring. It was just as wonderful! This also took 12 minutes. I am not the greatest guy when it comes to working with my hands, either. So don't worry about doing this upgrade yourself. Just be sure to watch the video twice before you do it. I decided, at least for now, to leave the 3 1/2 spring in. My brother told me I should get an accutrigger. I am glad I went with MCarbo instead. I saved well over $110 and am thrilled with the feel of this trigger now. Again, I CAN"T BELIEVE IT! I am going to get the MCarbo AR 15 trigger (actually hammer) spring next.
I was skeptical to say the least, but I couldn't believe how much better it Made the whole rifle feel. The trigger is not particularly creepy to begin with. But it was definitely upwards of 6lbs to pull. The lighter 2.5lb spring was a little too light for me, but the 3.5 is perfect. Worth every penny for sure.
I installed this trigger spring kit on 2 savage axis youth rifles (WIN and Legend) and 2 regular Savage Axis rifles (.22-250 and .30-06). The .30-06 already had a really nice trigger, but this kit still improved it including removing the overtravel. The 350 legend was a really hard trigger, and this kit reduced it to what is almost too light for a beginning youth shooter. My kid loves it, and it has definitely improved his accuracy. The other 2 were in-between in quality, but this kit improved both of them. For me, this kit improved all 4 of my Axis rifles significantly reducing trigger pull and pretty much eliminating overtravel. The side to side wiggle is ~70% of what it was before I added this kit. For something so easy to change (20-25 minutes total for 4 guns!), it really did remove a lot of that annoying side wiggle. Again, all measurable-to-me overtravel was removed. One or 2 of the rifles still has a tiny bit of creep, but I can see that is relegated to the sear and not the spring. MCarbo's spring kit can't fix that, but it DID reduce it once that stuff spring was replaced.
First was a 22-250 that went from 3lb 9oz to 1lb 9oz (drop tested it myself because that's LIGHT, it was drop safe!) and used both shims to dramatically reduce trigger wobble. The second one I did was in a 6.5 Creedmoor, that one went from 3lb 6oz to 1lb 8oz (also drop tested safe), only used one shim/washer on that one as using both made it too tight.
I meant 5 stars on my review, Tom M from West by God..hope I didn’t mess up yer Battin average..axis pro trigger is Excellent!
