Default RE: savage accu trigger

My Savage ML10-II has the accutrigger, and I like it very much. Simple, user adjustable, crisp and light. It's not a Timney or Jewell trigger by any means, but its a far sight better than the factory triggers on any of the other major U.S. brands of bolt-action rifles. The only factory triggers I've seen that compare equally or better are from European makers Sako (very sweet single stage adjustable trigger) and CZ (single set trigger). That's not to say that Remington, Winchester, or Ruger couldn't make a very good trigger, but they can't because this country is literally overrun by ambulance chasing lawyers who'll sue the instant some retard shoots themselves because they were walking around with the safety off and finger on the trigger and fired the gun negligently. Savage outsmarted the lawyers by building in a secondary trigger safety that makes it impossible for the sear to fully release unless the trigger is pulled fully to the rear.

It's a great trigger system, and contributes a great deal to the value of the Savage rifle. They still don't look very pretty, but they shoot even better than before. They are worth every penny, IMO.
