does anyone prefer the non accutrigger

[3006bluffhunter]

I was wondering if anyone prefers the non accutrigger rifles! The prices are sure better! I been seeing the accutrigger rifles that are used sell for $150 to $200 more than the non accutrigger rifles! Help me out with this! The accutriger rifles Have detachable clips,the ajustable trigger, anything else?

I just bought my first Savage with an Accutrigger over the weekend. It is a model 40. The other two I have were Stevens 200's. I replaced the triggers on both of them with Rifle Basix triggers. The little bit I have tried the Model 40, I prefer the other triggers. The pull is OK, but there seems to be a lot of creep. More than my plain Rifle Basix triggers. I do not know alot about the accutrigger other than what everyone says about it, but I know I do not like the creep at all. Of course the model 40 is much different the the rest of the Savages bolt action rifles, but I think they use the same trigger group.

I will make an assumption that the Savage 110 non-accu-trigger has been modified a few times since the 110 was introduced around 1958.  My variation of the Savage 110-CL was purchased approximately 1969-70.  The trigger is adjustable, and if I recall correctly I had some information on adjusting it.  It has been a good trigger without problems.

Rifles produced in later production runs may have the same trigger lawyer proofed

The newer "2 Screw" triggers have creep, and unlike the older "3 Screw" there is no adjustment for the sear engagement. They can be brought down to a decent trigger with noticable creep for hunting. But they are not going to do much for precision shooting.

Some folks are replacing the Accu-Trigger with the SSS and Rifle Basix Sav-2, but it seems it's just a matter of taste, as the AT can be adjusted pretty well.

I don't think for the price and how well it works, the SSS trigger can be beat.

Just askin, but if there is creep in the accutrigger, isn't it possible to stone the creep out of it? Not that every one who has a trigger and a stone should try this, but it would seem to me that if there is creep in the trigger, a gun smith should be able to fix this? Yes? No?

I have a 110 from 1995 and a mod 12 from 2007 with accutrigger. There is no comparison, the accutrigger is miles better!!!

Dave - I have just got my Model 40 and I really have not had a chance to look the trigger over. I have read that they are a crisp 2.5 - 6 pound pull. I know I am spoiled and have either worked over or replaced about every trigger I have had in rifles. Shotguns and hand guns I have not done much with. I was a little disappointed that the trigger was not as advertised - crisp. With the creep, it feels mushy. The 2.5 pounds I can live with. I would rather be 1.5, but I can live with the 2.5. I am going to look at it closer when I get a chance to see if I can rework this trigger to make it better. I just hate to get into a new gun and work on the trigger right away, it messes up the warranty. I will if I have to, but probably wait until I shoot it enough to know it is OK, so if I have to send it back, I am still covered. If that does not do the trick, then I guess a new trigger is in order.

I have a Stevens 200 that I did some work too........... just fine on my .223.

I looked before adjusting, it would cost me $85 if I messed it up.

Win either way!

 Just see my sig line! Make my savage a pre accuglock please.

The Accu-trigger made me a Savage fan again. I have two with the Accu-trigger, one in .17 HMR, the other in .300 WSM. They are two of the most accurate rifles I own with that trigger. My heavy barrelled Savage 22-250 has such a God-awful trigger, it's hard to shoot groups. I know that they can be worked on, but the Accu-trigger lets you adjust it yourself, and safely.

I've never shot one with the acc. trigger, but there are some nice after market triggers out there that work great on the reg. savage.
