If that was the case, then you had one of the only Accutriggers I have heard of with that problem. Savage would be happy to replace any accutrigger that operated in manner.
(Of course the reality is, all that would need to be done is shorting the tension spring slightly)

The accutrigger on my Savage 10ml settles at around 2-3/4 on the low end without any modifications whatsoever. This is right in line with the advertised approximate value.

From Savage's website...
"In centerfire hunting models, muzzleloaders, the Model 40 Varmint Hunter, and most rimfire models, the AccuTrigger™ is adjustable from approximately 2 1/2 to 6 lbs. In the 12 Series Varmint and Law Enforcement Series, the AccuTrigger is adjustable from approximately 1 1/2 lbs to 6 lbs."

Very accurate rifles with the trigger. Sighted a 30-06 in the other day for a friend and got MOA with it. I just might buy one of them for Coues hunting in a 270. The trigger is not hard to get used to.

I have 5 accutrigger savage rifles. They ROCK. I have 2 17 hmrs, 2 22.250's, and a .300 wsm and they all shoot 1/4'' to 1/2'' groups at 100 yds!! No, the trigger doesn't feel like you are pulling two.

Just bought my first Savage with AT -10II Muzzleloader. The set, first stage, whatever you want to call it to engage the trigger is different but their is little doubt it breaks very clean and effortlessly. I believe it maybe one of those devices that either you love or hate. I know when comparing the non AT vs AT in the same rifle their was little doubt which one I would leave with. In this particular case the safety mech is also much easier to operate on the AT vs pre AT model.

I hear some don't adjust as low as others but OEM lighter springs can be installed to lighten if desired on hunting CF. Mine breaks clean at the bottom 2 3/4lbs - just under 6lbs at the top. I have set mine at 3lbs for the time being.
