accutrigger to a target accutrigger

[Siiri]

Hey,
Is it possible to change the accutrigger to a target accutrigger? I have a Savage 17HMR model 93R17 BSEV. I really like the target accutrigger and am hoping that I could easily change it on my 17HMR.

Thanks!
Siiri

Sirri, the short answer is no, it can't be changed. There are two problems. First your 17HMR is a rimfire, probably made in Canada. The Target AccuTrigger is only offered to my knowledge on the centerfire Savages made in the USA. While they both use the same principle of the center safety blade, the triggers are actually different in overall design. Not interchangeable. Also, I hear Savage will not sell them (only replace them if you send the gun in).

The second problem is that the centerfire AccuTrigger is not really different than the standard AccuTrigger on the centerfires. It is just tuned better, and I suspect has lighter springs.

The good news is that if you are reasonably handy you can tune your rimfire AccuTrigger to give less than 1 lb pull, and with care 10-12 oz. may be possible. Here is how I got mine down to about that level.

Hey Siiri,
Hows the weather up north? have you been able to get out and do some shooting? other than the trigger how do you like your 17 since you got it back from savage? I think Ron gave you some pretty good advice.

Hey,
The weather was really nice, yesterday was such a great day for shooting! My boyfriend put up some pictures of yesterdays outing.
My 17 is having trouble again. It’s splitting the cases, not as often as my 1st one though.

The "Target" accutrigger has a different sear than the non "Target" trigger. The centerfire triggers will not fit the rimfire as already stated.

Thats to bad. Siiri and I had our first cracks with the target accutrigger and now I wish all my Savages had the target trigger.
