it does. if you look at both sear the accutriger one has a notch on the surface where it contacts with the trigger. I assume than this reduces the area of the sear that contacts the trigguer thus reducing friction. I think I was able to get a 1 lbs crisp trigger pull. could not get it any lighter and I have no need for lower pull so I haven't play much with that or that rifle for that matter. once I get a 22-250 9 Twist for that action I will play with it more.
