Plan to do some Dremel work on the stock for clearance. Otherwise easy to install and better than factory. See other reviews.
Better than Factory
I had trouble adjusting my Timney Trigger 638 in my Savage 16 LWH (with Accutrigger). The firing pin would release when I closed the bolt. I fixed it by screwing the sear screw out to a half turn from firing-pin-release instead of the 1/6 turn as instructed. Also, I screwed the safety setscrew in until I felt resistance, then I backed it out by 1/4 turns until the safety started working correctly. I also modified the rear trigger guard screw mounting boss molded into the Savages stock to allow adjustment of the trigger pull force with the barrel and trigger mounted to the stock. I took about 1/8 off the top of the boss to clear the trigger pull force adjustment screw. There was interference between the Timney trigger and the top of the Savage trigger guard, keeping the pull force from being consistent. I removed the Timney trigger and ground clearance on the bottom front corner of the Timney trigger and shortened the sear screw by 0.050 allowing it to be a little below flush (and not interfere) when correctly adjusted, and polished the business end of the setscrew. All now works well, including a consistent pull force of 1.2 pounds. Much better than the factory trigger.
