The words "picky" and "Axis" shouldn't really be used in the same sentence.
Am I truly THAT effing weird? (one man's rant)

Wow. I would rank the Axis trigger (pre mods) at almost the worst trigger that I've ever tried on a hunting rifle. Sure, the accuracy is sickening, but I find I rarely shoot mine even after modifying the trigger. It sucks.
You are one strange dude.

So this perception of yours that accutrigger=bad has lead you to the bic lighter of rifles, I see... I wish you well.

It was the closest thing to my much loved Stevens that I could find. And the extra trigger I have fit real nice. That one is smooth, albeit a little heavy. SAV-1 is on order and about 25% less the cost of a Timney.
When all I wanted was a Stevens 200, yes I can.
I'm inclined to agree with you there. Even my old-assed pre-accutrigger 110 had a nicer trigger. Ditto with my Nork M14, and Lakefield Mk II. But it's better than an SKS.
Strange doesn't even BEGIN to describe me. Just ask the guys I ride with, or my girlfriend. Or my parents.

I guess it did. But you forgot part of the equation... It's more like (Accutrigger+my fat fingers)x(bad previous experience/ease of frustration^rage)=BAD. But like I mentioned... I really wanted a Stevens 200.
I never was small. I've always been huge. Lets put it this way, if the gun doesn't make me happy, it'll go to the g/f, because she likes it. Then I'll buy the Weatherby. Just be happy I didn't buy a Rem 710.

Truer words have never been spoken.
I currently have two accu-trigger guns at the moment.A 93R .22mag and 20 guage 220
I hate them both. ONLY because of the "training wheel trigger" (Thanks looky lol)
So many better triggers out there, I'm pretty sure I seen someone on here that had the blade removed from the trigger and it just worked like a normal one. I wouldn't do that myself though.

I'm sure you will be happy with the Rifle Basix. I put a Sav-1 on my Axis and it is my favourite trigger by far. The Axis is really a pretty good rifle as far as function. It's just the triggers on some are brutal. I own two and one is not too bad of a trigger and the other had to get a Sav-1.

I have a SAV-2 on my .223. It is a thing of beauty.
CHAS had a sniper match today, and one of the guys had his Model 10 out, and a new shooter was having all kinds of grief with resetting it on it, despite being coached. All I could say to him (the owner of the gun, not the shooter at the time) was "That's why I hate the Accutrigger."

I don't see what's so hard about using an accu trigger .. If it's so complicated practice dry firing 3 times, if you haven't figured it out by than ... Well...
I tend to like it as it gives a slight warning your getting close to the real trigger as you focus on your game , more so when you have it tuned rather low

Browning A-Bolt III wouldn't be a huge stretch of your budget, I think they chamber them in .308...
Accutrigger does nothing for me either, it wouldn't bug me, but it's not a feature I would pay any extra for.
EDIT: Just read this thread to the end, disregard my recommendation.

I have lots of time on other good triggers and really like the accutrigger. Shoot F class with one actually. I have a feeling those that hate the accutrigger, do so for other reasons. Like how a teenager tries to fit a "clique".
I have lots of guns, some with the accutrigger, it makes no difference to me.
Its kind of nice as a safety feature, you know if you have been rough handling your rifle and it keeps it from firing if you have. A simple lift of the bolt handle resets the trigger and away you go

Savage now has the Axis II, with accutrigger and "walnut stock"...pretty much covers the complaints one hears about the original axis rifles.
I like the accutrigger in a hunting rifle and the wood stock on the axis will save on the cost of a Boyd's....one other thing you can be sure of is these rifles will be on sale for a great price somewhere soon!
