standard hunting 111, 30-06, got the target springs (2) and sear for the target accutrigger, looks like I'll just need to pop the E clip off and replace orginal parts to the target parts. seems to simple..... hence my email, anything I should look out for? I just hate it when ball bearings or springs fly! oh yeah won't be 06 for long.

thanks

Should be basically that simple.

Lmao except for the minor part of assembling the sear under spring pressure trying to line that darn hole up. Good luck, its a PITA. Straightforward though

If you don't mind me asking, where do you buy those parts?

Gary, I have seen the springs for different triggers available. Jim at Northland has some and I think SSS or one of the other savage specialty houses do as well. I think the sear is the hang up as it is gunsmith only from what I am told. I bought this as a kit from a guy who had several of them at Snipershide.

On several of my accutrigger rifles the trigger pull is about 3lb and I would like to get this down to 2 - 2 1/2 lb. What is the easiest/safest way to do this? Just cut one coil off the main (adjustable) spring?

Do not start cutting springs as it will change the rate and be too short. Try erniethegunsmith for springs possibly or get a smith to order the target spring.

Gunshack has the target spring. I installed it and the pull got down to 1 Lb 9 Oz.

Strut64, Gunshack? This place? http://www.gunshack.com/index.php?route=common/home I couldn't find any trigger assembly pieces there. Just bolt pieces and rifles. Is that the right place?

Gunshack shows to have the Target Springs available in stock for $7.00 each.

Look under 'triggers and trigger parts'

Savage customer service will sell them to you for $2.00 a pop. I just got 4 of them in the mail. 350% markup? No Thanks!

They were gone yesterday but looking today the spring is back. Strange.

Yeah I see they are back. Just ordered one. I'm hoping to get trigger to about 2.5lbs. Right now at 3.1lbs which isn't bad anyways

The spring has a small pin in the top coil to keep it centered. Cutting off a coil would remove this. I ordered some springs from Gun Shack have not installed them yet but hoping it will reduce the pull a little bit anyway.

When you finish changing springs do this test several times. Turn the safety ON and pull the trigger. Then turn the safety OFF. It may fire at this point which means it failed the test. Just doing a bump test is not a complete safety test.

Do this in addition to the bump test. Do not do any test with the gun loaded.

So, how many of you guys like a sub 2 lb break? My Accu came from the factory at 2.75lbs. The lowest it will go is 2.3 lbs. I thought the standard Accu would go lower. I mean 2.3 lbs with some Aeroshell moly grease on the sear is pretty nice. But I wouldn't mind at least experiencing a lighter pull to see what that is all about.

So, is it worth it to fuss with a target spring? Or should I be happy with with my 2.3lbs pull? I am not unhappy. I can tell you that.

The darn trigger looks like a tinker toy. It looks pretty crude. But it feels so good.

Why do some people NOT like this trigger?

I am not such an elitist that my trigger has to be be some fancy name like Jewel or Timminy. My trigger has just got to work and feel good. My Accu is pretty sweet IMO.
