Savage Trigger
#4
Of course you can replace the trigger. Rifle Basix and Timney both make aftermarket triggers for the Accu-Trigger Savages. So does the gunsmith at sharpshooterssupply.com.
My question is, have you really tried the Accu-trigger, beyond just dry firing it a few times at the store? I found that I liked the Accu-Trigger more as I used it. I have two Accu-Trigger equipped hunting rifles, a 10ML-II and a Model 111GCNS 30-06, both with the trigger adjusted to the minimum pull weight which feels to be about 1.5-2 lbs, and I wouldn't change either of them. The aftermarket hunting weight triggers just aren't that much better to justify the cost, IMO.

I don't have an accu-trigger on any of my guns but my wife has a Savage with the accu-trigger. I think it's a great trigger design. I would be switching to an accu-trigger if i could instead of trying to switch from it. Why do you think it's cheesy? have you shot one very much?

Thanks, I will look into the Timney and Rifle Basix triggers. I have already looked at the Sharpshooter Supply triggers, and they are a little pricey. But, depending on what Timney and RB have, I may end up with one.

I have one Savage, a Model 40 .22 Hornet with the Accutrigger. I think it may be the best trigger I've ever used. Cheesy it is not. I'd love to have them on my other guns.
