Savage 116 center trigger conversion. Noobie - 10/08/2012 2:03 AM
New to the forums and figured I would share my current project. A friend of mine is getting me into the world of handgun hunting and I will be taking the dive soon. One thing I have found is there aren't many, if any, conversion triggers out there for a regular rifles. Being the DIY guy I am, I decided to build my own. The platform is a Savage model 116 (currently a 338 win) I will be changing out to a 17" Mcgowen 7mm STW barrel. I will be ordering the barrel within a month and will also build the stock as soon as it is on.
Here are all the parts minus that spring. Also remade the trigger in the second photo.
Here is the trigger in action. There is no creep and pull is light with a pretty good feel.

EDIT:
Remade trigger and link system.
Finished product.
