Hi everyone,
A friend looking to replace the factory triggers on their Savage Model 12 FCV and Savage Model 12 LRP, and they’re considering the Tacsport Pro-X.
Can anyone confirm whether the new Tacsport Pro-X trigger is compatible with these two models.
If there are any fitment considerations, required modifications, or known limitations, I’d appreciate the insight.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Based on available research, the Savage Model 12 trigger assembly appears to be the same as the Model 110 trigger, with the primary difference being lighter factory pull weights in some configurations. On that basis, the Bix’n Andy trigger should be compatible.
However, due to the wide range of Savage rifle models and variations, we have not been able to test every configuration Savage has to offer. For this reason, we strongly recommend that all trigger installations be performed by a qualified gunsmith to ensure proper fitment, safe operation, and reliable performance.
Additionally, it is important to note that some factory and aftermarket stocks may require minor modification, as the Bix’n Andy trigger housing is wider than the Savage AccuTrigger.
Finally, if a trigger is ordered and found to be incompatible with your rifle, it may be returned for a refund provided it meets the terms and conditions of our return policy.
Thanks Jacob! I appreciate the info.
Any idea when you will have tac-sport savage triggers back in stock??
I bought two as soon as they were available. It appears these triggers are for the accutrigger versions.
On my older non-accutrigger versions, I had to order a trigger button and machine it to fit the reciever and attach it to the safety slider.
Once done….. LOVE THE TRIGGERS
Years ago I thought I got a smokin’ deal on a 110e in a 308. The price was right, but then i learned about “everything 110e’’ which meant I learned that no one makes anything for the “e”.
Then Bix’n Andy came out with their new Savage trigger, and having numerous Bix’n Andy triggers for Remington and their cones, I was excited to finally get something premium for the budget rifle . . . Nope!
The new triggers do not fit the Savage 110e.
How low can you go on pull weight on these triggers for the Savage?
See above comment. They can be made to work with one new part and a little work on that part.
In the description the Dakota trigger drops to 1.3lbs. The Pro drops to .55 lbs
Could you share what that part is and what modification it requires?
Thank you for your consideration.
At the Gun Shack they sell part #105080 “Savage 3 position safety thumb piece“. This piece is meant to dove tail into the accu- trigger reciever. In the non-accu- trigger models you either have to modify the reciever OR modify the thumb piece. I modified the thumb piece by removing material on the bottom side so it would fit into the safety slot and traverse appropriately. Then a tiny dab of epoxy on the thumb piece to hold it to the trigger. A little heat on the thumb piece is all that is necessary for disassembly.
I’ll try to attach a photo of modified thumb piece tonight when I get home.
Thanks for that!

Picture is a little hard to see, but material needs to be removed for it to travel in the safety slot and Material in the back needs to be removed for full travel of the safety button.
Hope that helps.
Thanks for sharing PCG. We’ll definitely relay this to Bix’n Andy Austria as they are excited to get feedback on the new trigger.
I am some what familiar with the Bix & Andy trigger by use on a Rem 700, very nice trigger. For my Savages I’ve been installing the Jard triggers, very smooth, crisp and easy to install and works well when replacing the accu trigger.
Hello,
Did you friend end up getting the replacement triggers for his rifles? I have the same models and wondering if they will work for me also.
Cheers!
Hi @Camrolfe , As Jacob mentioned in an earlier post, if you decide to pull the trigger (pun intended) and get one of these Bix’n Andy triggers for your savage models, we’ll happily provide you with a full refund if you find that they are not compatible.
@rael.harris thank you for your reply. Can you please let me know if I order from Australia, do I need any permits from your end or is it just the B709A from my end? Are these triggers in stock at the moment? I’m chasing the TAC Sport Pro X
@jace.bergeron is our international sales director. Can can certainly help you out with the whole export procedure. To set expectations, with the fact that you live in Australia, it may impact our ability to provide a complete refund (as we may need to navigate the added costs of international shipping fees if you find the trigger is not compatible).
I will make sure that Jace reaches out to you so that the two of you can discuss your options. His email address is jace.bergeron@bulletcentral.com.
