2 stage trigger for Savage 10/110
I have been searching the net hoping to find word of a 2 stage trigger for Savage 10 action available or in development for about 18 months now. Nothing.... anyone heard of one in the works?
The RPR has one ALREADY. Adding insult to injury. How can this be? Remington has tons, is it possible as an accutriger replacement?
2 stage trigger for Savage 10/110
I am relatively new to target shooting as a hobby, regularly shooting a few times a month as apposed to a few times a year. I became a fan of the two stage once I tried one out in a gas gun about three years ago. I have developed habits around the process of operating a two stage which I have found improved my results. While I do think that the accu trigger is a fine trigger I simply have a preference for the two stage. IMO the non existent of a two stage is the primary reason I would lean toward a 700/700 type action for my next build.
Yes, many of the top shooters (aside from Lone Wolf) are all 1 stage guys, most of which have decades of experience training/competing with that trigger type. But I wonder if that will be the case 5yrs or so from now.
I don't mean to not second guess Sharpshooters expertise on the subject. I am simply an enthusiast and not in the business. I don't know the cost of R&D and the many other factors that contribute to the viability of a product in the gun business. With that being said two stage triggers have exploded on the AR market. The AR is the most popular rifle in America and for many the first rifle they own. As new AR shooters graduate to other shooting disciplines like the popular long range / precision game I think that there could be an opportunity for a Sav 2 stage trigger in marketplace.
Again I am just a guy who likes to shoot and don't claim to be more knowledgeable than an industry veteran and will be the first to admit that I could be way off base.
Even if I am no closer to influencing the industry folks that can make this happen it appears that this thread has gotten the attention of those I had hoped it would....that puts a smile on my face.
Thanks all for your contributions.

We don't take the chance on a product costs and possible failure.
We might be up to 3 or 4 of SSS order needs! He obviously would not be the one to come out with this, that would be a larger mfg that could address that as it would be a small aspect of the business (Timney comes to mind). Of course good luck in getting their attention.
On the other hand, there is a lot of evidence on the two stage popularity.
I am sort of a bad example for SSS to deal with. While I would like it, I am good enough with the acu trigger (as to how it works) as to not buy an aftermarket regardless. Part of the problem is I would have to buy 3.
I had a couple of gas guns, both got better triggers. One was a mfg upgrade kit (XCR and Robinson Arms) and the other was a custom RRA that I got the chrome plated two stage option when I ordered it. From the XCR I knew what I wanted. The RRA was great.
I have since sold the gas guns as I like target shooting, but I also got more into military guns and now the acu trigger and my like of two stage continues.
I shot my brothers Savage 6.5 Lapua the other day, while its supposed to be a standard acu trigger, it felt more like the target version. Mine are good, his was darn near of not perfect (I wacked out a 1.2 inch 5 shot group with it - keeping in mind that its a good setup with a good barrel, he builds very good ammo - the rear back setup was shaky - but unless you can shoot you still are not going to be able to do that regardless. I had learned a new hand position for a normal stock (I shoot thumb hole in mine) shooting the CZ 22 and used that and it worked nicely.
I am surprised Timeny does not offer that two stage option. They do for other guns.
For those of us who are interested perhaps if would be worthwhile to write Timeny. If we get a couple hundred people to sign/express interest perhaps it will get there attention. I would be happy to draft something up. Any takers?
Anyone know if Timeny has an official "industry" forum ? like many companies do on ARF for example?
Furthermore support from folks like lone wolf, who are highly accomplished in the sport would certainly help our cause...
As far as gas gun triggers go I have a LaRue MTB in one of my ARs and a Geissele SSA-E in the other. Bill Geissele would be my pick if I could choose anyone to undertake this project. Unfortunately every product he makes is for the AR so I agree Timeny would be a more likely candidate for this project. Would certainly introduce the idea to Bill though just in case!
