Hi y'all. I have a older Savage that I am looking at replacing the trigger. It was made in 2005 and it doesn't have the split blade so I do believe it is not a Accutrigger (correct me if I am wrong). So my question is to all you smart people out there, what options do I have for a trigger replacement? Can I go to an Accutrigger or will they not fit? What about other companies. I do see some from the usual's (Timmy but I am not sure if they will fit. Thanks again for all your help.
 
Someone correct me if i'm wrong, what you want is a Rifle Basix Sav-1 or Sav-2 trigger.
Sav-2 is more expensive, can go lighter, will not accommodate trigger guard bolt release.
Sav-1 is good to go with trigger guard bolt release.
Both are said to be replacements, for old and new savages, accutrigger or standard trigger replacement.
Email Jerry, Mystic Precision, he's got good prices on them compared to X-reload.
 
I have a Savage Model 10 Tr the accutrigger has been nothing but problems. It was even replaced still had issues, gun would no ####, would unlock unless pulled straight back, would not crack if action cycled too fast, was ready to wrap the rifle around a tree. Replaced it this week with a Timney trigger purchased from Mystic Precision. All my troubles went away. It took no more than 5 mins to install and adjust and now runs flawlessly. Best decision I ever made
 
Bu curiosity, did you go with Timney or rifle basix?
At the time the Timney was out of stock but rifle basix was in stock, that's why i ended up with it, no regrets though.
 
I was referring to OP, since he said just ordered, curious to see what he ended up with.
But, at the time when I had purchased, I had the same mentality, for 20$ more may as well go with a trusted brand.
Was out of stock, and no regrets going rifle basix. Has seen over 1000 clicks, and is very constant in trigger pull, no creep whatsoever too, great trigger.

While the Timney is an excellent trigger, I've two with Accutrigger and so far no issues. It would be interesting to know why yours acted up.

I'm assuming you had the trigger set at/around its lightest weight. Accutriggers can be a royal pain in the ass when set low. I like to shoot with gloves, and it causes me to have to re-#### the bolt 1-2 times in 20, even set around the 3 lbs mark. I've spent to much cash at the moment and want to replace my stock first, so the trigger will have to wait. I've started a thread in gunsmithing to see if there is a way for me to do a work around on the accutrigger, or a way to lighten up an old Stevens 200 trigger I have. No useful replies from anyone who I trust from past posts. Since no one wants to answer the obvious, how about this, can anyone explain how the safety tab works in the Accutrigger? If it wasn't there would it make the trigger unpredictable? If it's there to just keep the trigger from going off when set really light from working the bolt hard etc., how is it any different than other triggers. Set your (insert brand name here) as light as you can and work the bolt hard, tell me what happens...
 
The trigger safety in the savage is what makes the recock 1 or 2 times in 20 a click instead of a bang.

Light triggers and no safety is a recipe for NDs. Don't do it.

Actually no, it's not preventing an ND, it's preventing the trigger from working properly. This is a "Liability" safety, as far as I can tell it's actually working properly when making me utter profanity, it's not tripping closing the bolt, or banging it on the floor, it's tripping just about when the rifle should actually fire on the squeeze. The trigger isn't set low, and the only one I had set low enough to trip it closing the bolt was a Target Accutrigger on a Left Port I had. It was almost unusable set that low...I'm a bit spastic, my fingers aren't that precise, so it may be simple for you to not trip the trigger just giving it a squeeze, but not for me (now and then). "Light triggers and no safety is a recipe for NDs. Don't do it.", I'm curious, have you installed an aftermarket trigger? I ask because I could induce a so called "ND" with my name brand aftermarket trigger. Yes I had it set as low as I could get it, and I didn't have to slam it to make it fire, closing it firmly would do it. It didn't stay set that light, and I haven't had a trigger set that light since. Also this isn't a hunting rifle, I'm not going to be wandering around with a round up the spout, and I'm not one of those jokers who comes to zero their smoke pole each fall...waving it around like it's the colours.

I understand why people are reluctant to speak about this topic, and why I asked if someone can actually explain how the tab interacts with the trigger rather than ask them how to defeat it (that's pretty obvious if you look at it). You can buy a shoe for Ruger's that will supposedly fit on a Savage, I'd have ordered one, but they are Ti, the price is halfway to a Rifle Basix Sav1 so may as well just replace it.
 
I've had both Timney and Rifle Basix Sav-1 and Sav-2 . I got rid of the Timneys as they don't even come close to comparing to a Sav-1 or 2 triggers that are set up properly.
I also have used and still have a target accutriger. Lots of guys just don't know how to use them as I hear it constantly at the range. The trigger has to pulled straight back ( you know the way a trigger is suppose to be used) any sideways force or movement will cause the accutriger to jam up and you will have to recock to fire it.

Correct, but I have poor fine muscle control in my fingers, it can be harder than you might imagine. If you are "all thumbs", it can really mess with your focus. I see a Sav1 in my future, if for no other reason than to avoid someone loosing their mind at an event away from my home range.
 
I definitely recommend going with a good aftermarket trigger than a Savage accutrigger.

The accutrigger has got to be one of the worst modern day precision rifle triggers.

when compared to the best aftermarket triggers sure, but it is one of the better factory triggers.

I have a number of nice triggers including a Jewell so I know a great trigger when I see one. I find my Factory savage trigger perfectly suitable with a spring replacement.

I also have not seen or heard of sideways pressure binding or setting off the savage trigger safety. If you pull is anything other then gentle straight back, your trigger is not your problem.
