Model 24 trigger work.
The following are a few steps in improving the trigger pull on a Savage model 24C series P.
For this page, we are dealing only with sear engagement. No polishing or action smoothing is being done, though it would be easy to do at the same time.

And if you do it and screw it up, don't blame us. We warned you.
While the photos on this page are of a Model 24C series P, they are relevant to many other series of guns. In fact, the trigger mechanism is identical to the one on my 1980's vintage Series S.
Tools you will need:
A slotted and/or Phillips head screwdriver.
(depending on what type screws hold your butt plate on.)
A diamond lap or honing stone.
Punches of the proper size.
A hammer.
A nail or similar item to make a slave pin with.
Side cutters or hacksaw with which to make the pin.
Grease of some type. (helpful but not necessary).
And last but not least, one big ass screwdriver.
