My daughter's Savage 110 in 243 has a wicked trigger. After hunting season this year, she complained that the trigger was too heavy, so I measured it - 9.5 lbs! Searching the net, I found these instructions:

Unfortunately I must be doing something wrong, I can only get the trigger down to a slightly more reasonable 6.5 lbs, but even there I have problems. The 110 has a three position safety: Position 1- SAFE- bolt locked, Position 2 - SAFE - bolt unlocked, and Position 3 - FIRE. Function is normal in position 1 and 3, but you can pull the trigger in Position 2 (>10 lbs, but it can still be done). Adjusting the safety screw (Key No 3 in the diagram) enough to solve the problem results in a safety that cannot be engaged or disengaged. In all cases, the safety moves from position 1 to 2 all by itself.
I also noticed that the seer adjustment seems to be completely backwards from the instructions. According to step 4 key #2 should be loosened until the seer releases, but the seer appears to sit on top of and slightly behind that screw, not in front of it, so TIGHTENING the screw reduces seer engagement with a step on the trigger.
Something isn't right here, so the rife is out of service until I can get it figured out (much to my daughter's consternation). What should I look for? Does this problem ring any bells?
Oh, I picked the rifle up used several years ago, so I don't have a complete history on it.
