After emailing Savage customer service about the trigger pull on my Stevens 301T they advised that the factory specs are 5-8 pounds. I informed them mine was well over 10 and probably closer to 12. I told them that it was dangerous, especially for kids. They had me send it in for evaluation. They confirmed it was out of spec. I told them I'd love for it to be in the 4-5 pound range. I got it back today and it is 100% better. Still no creep and has a nice crisp break at less then 6 pounds. And I purposely shipped it back without a choke and they sent it back with a new factory choke. I just didn't want my Indian Creek to get lost.
All it cost was my outgoing freight which was about $14. Just thought I'd share in case someone else has a similar situation.
