Description
Anybody who has spent time behind a Savage rimfire knows the factory AccuTrigger gets the job done, but it leaves a lot of accuracy on the table with its long take-up and heavier pull. The Rifle Basix SAV-RAT is built to fix exactly that. It's a single-stage replacement that drops right into your Savage rimfire action, giving you a clean, crisp break with zero of that spongy creep you feel in the stock setup. If you've been chasing tighter groups off the bench or want a lighter pull for small-game work, this is the kind of upgrade that shows up on paper.
Where the SAV-RAT Fits
This trigger is made for Savage rimfire models running the AccuTrigger system, specifically the Mark I, Mark II, and Model 93. It also crosses over to a couple of centerfire actions, including the Model 40 in .22 Hornet. Worth noting up front: it does not fit the B-Mag. If your rifle came from the factory with an AccuTrigger, the SAV-RAT is designed to take its place.
Dialing In the SAV-RAT
The pull weight adjusts from 1.25 pounds all the way up to 4 pounds, so you can set it up for precision target work down low or keep it a touch heavier for field use. Plenty of owners settle in around the 1 to 1.5 pound range and rave about how the groups tighten up once that creep is gone. Take your time during setup and confirm solid sear engagement before you load live rounds. Getting the adjustment right is the difference between a trigger you trust and one that trips on bolt close, so follow the included instructions closely and test the safety thoroughly.
Simple Install, Real Results
Rifle Basix built this as a true drop-in, and the feedback backs it up. Most folks with basic mechanical skills have it swapped in around ten minutes using the wrench and hardware that come in the box. The trigger retains your factory safety, so you're not losing any function in the trade. Made in the USA and backed by a lifetime warranty from Rifle Basix, the SAV-RAT is a solid pick for anyone serious about squeezing more accuracy out of a Savage rimfire.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Savage rifles does the SAV-RAT trigger fit?
The SAV-RAT is designed for Savage rimfire models equipped with the AccuTrigger, including the Mark I, Mark II, and Model 93. It also fits the centerfire Model 40 in .22 Hornet. It does not fit the B-Mag, so double-check your model before ordering.
How light can I adjust the SAV-RAT trigger?
The pull weight is fully adjustable from 1.25 pounds up to 4 pounds. Many target and benchrest shooters run it right around the 1 to 1.5 pound range for a crisp, clean break. You can also keep it heavier if you prefer a firmer field pull.
Is the SAV-RAT hard to install?
Not at all. It's a true drop-in that most people with basic mechanical skills can install in about ten minutes using the included wrench and hardware. Just take your time during the adjustment step and confirm proper sear engagement and safety function before loading live ammo.
Will the SAV-RAT improve accuracy over the factory AccuTrigger?
That's the whole point of the swap. The SAV-RAT gives you a single-stage break with minimal creep and overtravel, which is a noticeable step up from the longer, spongier factory pull. Owners consistently report tighter groups once they get it dialed in.
