Got my new Savage w/Accu Trigger

WEll i finally got my new Savage With the new Accu Trigger and its awesome I didnt even have to adjust the trigger I dont have a trigger pull scale but its very light the safety sear requires just the weight of your finger to depress and the trigger if I were to guess is a crisp no creep 1.5lb pull If savage ever decides to put this trigger on their sporter rifles other companies better watch out with their reputation for accuracy and this new awesome trigger they may put a hurting on other manufactures

I'm about to ask my dealer to order one for me. How long did you have to wait for it? What's the model and caliber?

I wonder if you get those trigger groups for the older Savages. And how much they run compared to the Sharp Shooter triggers.

Just a note for hunter_fish: I wrote to Savage about getting one of those Accu-Triggers for my 112 BVSS. They said "not possible" because they had to do "extra machine work" to the action to put on these triggers. Now, if we can only find out what the "extra machine work" was ....

The word in one of the magazine who mentioned the new trigger is that the assembly cannot be installed on previous receivers. Presumably that means the machining to the trigger area of the trigger is different.

Ok guys The dealer ordered it from Jerrys Sporting goods and they had it in stock its a model 12 heavy barrell in 22-250 blued syn stock the distributer said they have been getting them in on a regular basis the timney triggers are good but this is better I think NO creep and very light it just feels good its kind of like the safety on the trigger of a glock handgun I hope they put them on their sporter rifles in the future Remington and Ruger better watch out

Three cheers for Savage, as they have upped the ante for the industry.

I hope this shames RugRemChester into following suit and to come up with decent triggers for their rifles.

I just put a Sharp Shooter Trigger on my Savage 110 .270 Win. My groups using 90gr. JHP 55.0 gr. of H-380 are from 1/8" to 1/2" @ 100yds.
If I am measuring the groups properly....
My question is: Do you measure the best three shot group of five shots, overall outside distance and subtract the caliber?
If this is correct, the info above is correct.
If not, what is the proper way to measure groups?
Thanks,
Jay

My 112BVSS in 25/06 should be in my hands Friday! I can't wait, I've heard alot of good things about this trigger.

pilotj, Outside to outside the 2 most distant shots and subtract one bullet diameter! Sounds like you got a good one there! Now take that same rifle, same load and stretch to 200 and 300 yards. If you're still shooting (equal to the 100 yard groups) 3/8 to 1.5 inch groups at 300 you really have a winner!! It's not hard to get a sub MOA gun at 100 yards! 300 and up is where the accuracy comes in!!! TxRam, I see you have chosen the finest long range caliber varmint rifle out there!! Good luck with it! Break in the barrel properly and enjoy the spoils of those 75 gr.VMax'x or 85BT's sending varmints their airmail invitations home!!! GHD
