I want to put the varmint/target trigger in my 11 .308. Is 1.5lbs the highest the trigger will go? I hunt with the rifle and don't really want it lower than 2 lbs. Right now the lowest that it will go is 3.5 lbs.
can an I put the target trigger in and adjust the tension to bring it up to 2 lbs?
I think changing to the target trigger requires the target sear also.
You might want to just change the spring.

The reviews indicate that it can be adjusted like you want.
The Accutrigger varmint spring will get you down to around 1.5# up to 2.5# in my experience.
That sounds right.
Don't mix up the 3 trigger types.
If you want to have a heavier pull, then get a Hunter Acu spring (or PM me and I will send you one)
Types are:
Hunter
Varmint
Target (which does have its own sear)
My apologies, I meant the spring. I have the 11 Trophy Hunter XP so I'll need the varmint spring? Or can I use the one from Gunshack, part number SAV105270?
Also, what grease is on the sear? It's gray and looks like it's either moly grease or a graphite type grease.
Don't worry about greasing the sear or any part of the trigger mechanism.
The installation video for the Rifle Basix SAV2 says to use just a tiny bit of light grease on the sear engagement. The sear engagement on the SAV2 can be adjusted down to a few thousandths, so they probably say this to keep it from wearing down to nothing prematurely. I usually use STOS and apply it with the pointed end of a toothpick.
I've never really looked at the sear engagement on the Accutrigger. Since this is a hunting rifle, you might want to spread the remaining grease to ensure the engagement is lubricated.
No ide aon grease, I use CLP if I am going to lube or a synthetic as it does not stick in cold weather.Quote:

I would assume Gun Shack is the same but can't confirm, but that is all you need is a Varmint Sear Spring and it will go to 1.5 lbs. You then can't go any higher than 2.5.
Mine are all bench rest so its ok. I preferred a heavier one for a hunting trigger. Savage hunter spring would be the right range for that in my experience
