A friend just bought a rifle (.22 bolt) with this trigger system. Seemed excited and asked me over to see it, and a video on it. I came, I saw, I was very impressed (blown away).
This is a gizmo fits into the trigger, acts as a safety, AND A FAIL SAFE. A fool proof safety on the trigger!!! Even I can't get confused using it.
I watched the video with him. Then I wanted to try some things with it. Go to Savages's site, check out their video. What I want to scream to everyone is: Savage is selling this system way short! IT IS MUCH BETTER THAN THEY LET ON!
Basically it is a gizmo that catches the sear, if it should slip from the trigger let off (allows for a very light let off); and both the sear and the accu-thing are then frozen (something Savage doesn't mention); if the sear slips, everything is frozen until the hammer (or whatever, depending upon the firing system) is recocked. For lever action rifles and semi-automatic pistols and bolt actions, this in a dream come true. Plus it allows for a trigger adjustable to very light; with FULL safety. People; CHECK THIS OUT!!!!

How many times have we read of people coming to the end of a hunt, wanting to unload their magazines; and when they slip the manual safety off: KABOOM; they have inadvertantly shot themselves in the foot? Or of manual safeties suddenly, and unexpectantly, turned out to be on; just when one was making that "lifetime" shot?

Moderators:
Would it be possibile to adjust the time out (to automatic log off; a very fine feature) to something would allow me to preview my post, before having to log in again?

Its been around a while some people love them some people hate them.
One thing I think everybody can agree on is when Savage introduced the Accutrigger it forced the other manufacurers to improve theirs.

Does the rimfire accutriggers have pull adjustments? If they do I haven't figured out how to do it.

 

[silvertipmo]

As I understand it, the system starts with an adjustment system allows for very light pull; and what has me so excited is the safety they added to prevent accidental discharge. I am not into rimfire rifles; will ask my friend for clarification on his new rifle and adjustment sytem.
I am wondering. Is this system just for rimfire rifles? I would think the system would be applicable to all bolt action, lever action, semi-automatic rifles and pistols. Wondering why this thread was moved.

Very true. We are seeing more and more adjustable factory trigger these days due to the popularity of the Accu-Trigger. I have a Savage model 10 LE rifle with the accu-trigger and like it quite a lot. It is adjustable down to 1.5lbs and breaks very clean with no creep. It is also very accurate. I have had two Remington 700s set up basically the same way my Savage is and neither one of them were quite as accurate as the Savage. All of the accu-triggers are not adjustable down to 1.5lbs. It depends on the model of rifle, unless Savage has changed something I'm not aware of. Regardless, if you don't mind the little safety blade in the middle of the trigger it is a very nice trigger system on a factory rifle.

Just got a 93 VF .22 WMR. The Accutrigger is great. Reminds me of the Glock trigger.
After only 50 or so rounds am shooting 1.5" groops @ 100 yds w/ bipod ( CCI 40 gr jhp) in sitting position.
I found the trigger set at about 2# from factory is just fine. Just read the instructions from savage and not too hard to play with.
Friend has same only a 17hmr with slightly better results.
Great rifle for the $$$$
do your part and enjoy.

I'm a bit out of my element here, but my friend tried to explain to me, then showed me. The adjustment screw is just behind the trigger. Only thing is, one has to remove the barrel and trigger from the stock to get to it (or see it).
Two hex screws, fore and aft of the magazine, and the barrel comes out. One of the screws doesn't come out all of the way, but releases the barrel. Then the adjustment is inside the spring just behind of the trigger. I hope this helps.

Thanks a bunch, I'll delve into it deeper. I had the action out of the stock and didn't see the normal adjustment which is on the trigger main spring.

Went back into my rimfire Savage with the accutrigger and it appears about the same as the centerfires.... don't know what I was thinking of. I backed the spring deeper into the trigger and reduced the pull down to 42 oz which was as low as it would go.

Just wanted to let y'all know the barrel or trigger assembly don't have to come out of the action or anything like that. Just remove the barreled action out of the stock, and turn the spring.

Thanks, MontyF:

I called my friend, to tell him that all his efforts of trying to explain this to me, had actually born some fruit, had helped someone. He was glad. That's a warm feeling.

If you're feeling adventurous you could clip about 11/2 to 2 coils off that trigger spring, if too light you can always tighten the tension.

I had considered cutting the spring until noticing the last coil is bent up in the center at 90 degrees. That tip is sitting in a small hole in the receiver to locate it. The trigger has lots of side to side movement. I'm going to shim that out and just live with what I already have.

The trigger spring is a 2 diameter spring the small end goes thru the trigger the large end should go over the rear trigger stud. The end that goes over the stud is where you clip it. I have clipped 2 coils from 3 of my rimfires and it made a real improvement.

Mine is two diameter. The small end threads in the trigger and the large end is bent to form a tit which fits into a small hole drilled in the receiver bottom.
