FrownerIs anyone else having trouble with the Savage Accutrigger? thumbdownroger


Old age is a high price to pay for maturity!!! Some never pay and some pay and never reap the reward. Wisdom comes with age! Sometimes age comes alone..

Not at all and I have several guns with them...In fact I even installed an accutrigger on older non-accutrigger Savage and it works excpetionally well! tu2

Is it a Jewel? No....but then again what inexpensive factory trigger is...

Only issue I had was with one on a 17 HMR. It would not adjust down less than four pounds. All other accutriggers I can get down to around three. I really wanted the 17 as light as safely possible. I clipped half a coil off the trigger spring and now can go as light as 2 pounds if I want. I have other triggers I like way better than the accutrigger. But the accutrigger is the only factory trigger I don't replace with something else as for me it is good enough.

I have had two come into the shop.
One had a peice of long grain powder trapped in the grind relief under the sear and it held the upper sear too high reducing contact area causing an early release (onto the safety blade) if the trigger was bumped while reaching into the trigger guard. This one I was able to repair.

The second one the sear surfaces just plain wore out and I had to replace the entire unit. Savage customer service was fantastic and sent me a full kit for nothing but the phone call.

I owned a Savage rifle some 20plus years ago and that broke me of that brand of rifle. I appreciate that the mfg. has made great strides in improving the rifles, but if you ever used one of their older triggers, the new trigger is light years ahead. Couple fellows at local range have them and like them, but to me it is a sort of a version of a set trigger. Nothing wrong with that, but more parts than I care to deal with in a trigger. Wonder what a freezing rain would do to it??

oldThis was my first mishap and it cost me shipping one way. Now the problem is the trigger becomes dead solid and you have to recycle it. I thought ,perhaps, I wasn't bringing the bolt back far enough but once you've arrived at the point of failure how can you say what happened? besides that it's a cock on opening. CRYBABYroger

Turn your spring in 1/2 turn and the sear will quit tripping on you as you close the bolt. Set too light as is.

The accutrigger allows Savage to sell a gun that can have an acceptable pull using stamped sheet metal for the sears. They don't have to be square to each other when you've got that "angel's wing" (Har) as a secondary catch to keep the gun from inadvertantly going boom when the dynamics of that particular trigger demand more spring weight than the owner has tried to adjust for

Beats going to all the work to make a Sako trigger I guess.
