Accutrigger (Ghasp!)

[NHgunNut]

Haha some people love them some people hate them. I dont like the feel, but i like the safety factor. And that is where my question comes from:

Does anyone know if the target accu-trigger savage has (the red one on their target models) will fit the non target model guns? I have a 10FP I would like to upgrade to the target model. If so where can you get the parts? local gunsmith? thanks guys

 

[twoodard]

the blade means nothing. its the sear that makes the models different. there are 3. standard, varmint, target. most likely that will be ffl only

 

[NHgunNut]

Yeah sorry to not specify, I want to know if the sear, springs, and hangers would fit a 10 from a target model.

Hello
Not being Savage expert, but I have had 2 Savage PTA built, 6BR and 223 Rem.
I replaced the both target triggers with a rifle basix SAV 2 trigger on both actions.
I gave both triggers to a friend that had the accurtrigger on his guns and it was
an easy swap, everything went right in , no problems with either rifle.
The SAV 2 trigger in my opinion is a much better trigger

 

[NHgunNut]

Yeah i don't like the feel of the accutrigger at all, but i like the safety factor, i let my Fiance' and a select few friends shoot with me and i want that lockup feature. unless another trigger has it also? but thanks for letting me know it fit! :-D

I have a sav 2 on a PTA 6br custom. I used the target accutrigger on a model 10 5r HS prec gun. The target trigger made no difference in pull as the original sear was still on the PTA 6br rifle.

All the more reason to call Jewell Trigger Company and beg them to market their Savage trigger that has been shelved.

As mentioned the sear is the main difference between the standard, and target accu-trigger guns. The sears are same in the way they fit the gun, but the target accu-trigger is cut at a different angle. The target accu-trigger sear is identified by a small dimple just under the bolt release/cocking indicator flag. So to answer your question yes the target accu-trigger set up will fit your standard accu-trigger rifle. The problem is savage will not sell the target accu-trigger parts so your only hope is to find someone that has removed their entire set up.

The Jewel trigger (That was developed for the Savage rifle.) is highly complicated, and needs to be installed by a gunsmith. (Like Arnold Jewel originally did.) The trigger was abandoned due to cost, and compeating against other aftermart, and target accu triggers. The Jewel trigger had no safety, (Or safety feature as the OP desires.) and at lowest setting would only go down to 3-4 oz. Do to the need for a true competition trigger Sharp Shooters Supply stepped up to the plate and developed the "Evolution" trigger. It is a 3 lever design, and the ones I have break at 2oz. The downside is the trigger also needs to be installed by a gunsmith, and cost. It also doesn't have a safety or safety feature that is found on a accu trigger. ( As the OP is requesting.) There has also been a few people that have modified Remington Jewel triggers to fit Savage rifles, and they work fine.

Thanks for all the input. Has anyone tryed out the less expensize sharpshootersupply trigger? I know it only goes down to 12 Oz, but I may be OK with that.

The lower cost trigger is the Competition trigger, it has been around for years. (This is basically where Sharp Shooters Supply got their start.) Great trigger! It will go to the 12oz and sometime lower range. Very safe, if you have it installed correctly, and was to drop the rifle the safety will slide back and the trigger will not trip. It is a big improvement over ANY accu-trigger.

I have the Evolution trigger on a Savage PTA and it will not go below 7oz. Like most things that Moreo does, it is unreliable. Sometimes you get what you pay for and sometimes you don't.

The problem with the evolution trigger is you have to send your rifle to SSS and have them install it. Well that could very well take up to 9+ months before you get your rifle back and that is unacceptable plus it doesn't always deliver what is promised in performance. Jewel. extreme, timney, etc needs to get with the program and market one of their fine triggers for the savage since more and more savage rifles are hitting the competition line each year. I spend $280.00 for a competition AR trigger and I will do the same for a great competition trigger for my savage. Enough said.

I take the point.. a 2-stages ??..

Robert,

It is likely that most Savage shooters are looking for a single stage that works like a Jewell. That is the benchmark against which it will be compared. How is that for design criteria?

 

[sailhertoo]

I saw at least three Savage guns DNF in matches this past year for trigger problems.

The problem with the evolution trigger is you have to send your rifle to SSS and have them install it.

Once you use the evolution trigger on your Savage action, you don't want anything else!

I had SSS install 4 of the evolution triggers on my actions. Turn around time was quick for just the trigger!

Sleepygator,

I know that a 2-stage trigger for Savage is possible and need only to be prototyped. A 2-Stage trigger can be set for single stage, but never down to the '2 ounces" type...
Such a trigger would be a fully-machined one, not of the cheap stamping models. Is the customship ready to accept that?.. I understand Savage's major point is price?..

Single stage that will break like glass down to 2oz. consistantly time and time again.

Savage firing system simply does not allow.. Oherwise, it would alrady have been done.....

The Target model Savages are not inexpensive and, by the time they are ready for competition, there is usually a significant investment. That said, the potential market volume for a quality trigger system, like your designs, is probably not very large. I have a CG Model 22 on a Borden actioned Eliseo and appreciate the design features. I also have a number of Jewell triggers on differently purposed rifles, where they are very effective. It is my feeling that a shooter sufficiently serious to consider a CG would have already chosen an action other than Savage, probably custom. Just my .02€.
