[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3066819, member: 15054"] My savage accutrigger the original accutrigger was nothing to write home about. You could get it to 2.75 lbs and there it would not be safe .. you could drop or jar the gun and it would fire off the round that was chambered. The issue was it is adjustable and to adjust it you twisted a screw which relieved tension on a spring by letting it become longer in the seated position. You could turn the screw until the spring had almost no tension just sitting there limp. This was dangerous and you could not close the bolt and catch and hold the sear. I had to fix that trigger also as 3+ lb trigger for shooting way far distances kind of sucked. I expected better i suppose. It needed a spring that had smaller wire diameter and less spring rate so it could hold up the mechanical part and still be light. I fixed it and it was a very nice trigger after that. The newer accutriggers are better in that department. The absolute best triggers I have ever fired from a factory gun were double set design. The Hawken black powder and the Marlin Ballard single shot lever action with a double set trigger made before 1890. Those triggers are so sweet you wonder with today's technology what happened to a good trigger.. seems like your 6 year old could be building them better. [/QUOTE]
