I went with Basix for my Axis, less $ than Timney, and is super simple to install. They have two models, one for hunting and one for target shooters that go down to something in the oz for adjustment.

I have not tried a Timney, but I have several Rifle Basix triggers. I can highly recommend the Rifle Basix triggers. I have one Sharp Shooter Supply trigger and it is a very good trigger too. The problem with them is communication. they will not answer a phone or answer an e-mail. they will take your money, but it is a crap shoot when they deliver the product. In light of that, I would positively go Rifle Basix. See the Axis field report a little lower here. That rifle has a standard Rifle Basix trigger in it.

Good Shooting and Good Luck

The SharpShooter Supply competition trigger is the best that I have used in four Savage/Stevens builds.
This trigger is currently available from Brownell's.
GOOD LUCK and GOOD SHOOTING!!!

When you decide to go with a different trigger order it.  Then work on the factory trigger.  I have yet to have a Savage trigger that I couldn't get below 2-3/4 pounds with a little work.  I'm not smith by any means but the triggers are good DIY jobs for those willing to try.

I switched to a Rifle Basix trigger on my Stevens 200 in 25-06.  I also dropped it in a Keystone Thumbhole stock I ordered from Cabela's.  I chucked that plastic thing.

     When I have had to replace a trigger I always went with a jewel and never had a complaint.  Jim
