The Savage AccuTrigger™... A revolutionary design that will forever change the way shooters expect triggers to function.

At Savage, we're constantly searching for new products and innovations that provide a true benefit to shooters. The trigger was always one significant area that captured our attention. Most triggers found in firearms produced today have a very heavy pull. The reason is quite simple...liability. Manufacturers cannot afford to ship firearms with triggers that could accidentally discharge; therefore, they design their firearms with heavy trigger pulls. Even though factory triggers can usually be adjusted, any adjustments made to factory triggers can create an unsafe condition and usually void the warranty.

Savage challenged its engineering team to design a completely new trigger system to give shooters what they wanted--an easily adjustable trigger with a crisp release and no creep. It took several years, but Savage's revolutionary AccuTrigger meets every shooter's objective.

How AccuTrigger Benefits the Shooter

Adjustability and added safety are the first benefits

The Savage AccuTrigger gives the shooter the flexibility to set trigger pull to individual preference without having to pay a gunsmith to adjust it. Also, even when adjusted to its lowest setting, the AccuTrigger is completely safe and cannot accidentally discharge during normal use from being jarred or dropped when maintained and adjusted as intended. A newly designed teardrop safety is an additional feature on rifles with the AccuTrigger. It provides for better acquisition of the safety button and operates smoother and quieter.

Enhanced accuracy is another benefit of the Savage AccuTrigger

The crisp, clean light trigger pull allows the shooter to maximize the accuracy potential of the rifle.

How does the AccuTrigger Work

The AccuTrigger™ is designed with an integrated AccuRelease™ that must be completely depressed or the rifle cannot fire (See Figures 1 and 2). While pulling the trigger, the AccuRelease is intentionally depressed, which unblocks the sear and allows the rifle to discharge.

(Figure 2: In case of trigger jar off, AccuRelease blocks sear which prevents rifle from firing.)

Adjusting the AccuTrigger

Adjustment of the AccuTrigger is easy. Simply remove the stock and rotate the adjustment spring with the tool supplied with the rifle. The AccuTrigger has a single adjustment location (see figures 4 and 5) and is designed so it cannot be adjusted below the minimum setting.

What Models Feature the AccuTrigger

The AccuTrigger™ is available in all 12 Series Varmint, Law Enforcement, Muzzleloaders, the Model 40 Varmint Hunter, most centerfire hunting and rimfire models, including the Package Series. The adjustability range varies depending on the model.

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.

Comparing the AccuTrigger to the Competition

Savage used sophisticated software to compare objective measurements of their new AccuTrigger™ with competitors’ triggers. These comparisons confirmed there is a graphic and repeatable difference between the AccuTrigger™ and all other triggers tested. This objective method of testing demonstrated the new Savage system has a lighter trigger pull than all the other major brands. In fact, the AccuTrigger™ was lighter than a top-of-the-line imported brand and a custom aftermarket trigger. Testing also revealed the AccuTrigger™ was much smoother, crisper, broke cleaner and demonstrated less creep than any other factory-built trigger tested.

See and use the future of the industry — the Savage AccuTrigger--the system that makes all others obsolete.
