My Precision Target Accu-trigger came from the factory set at 10 oz. Because all my other Savage Accu-triggers are set at 2 lbs, the 10 oz trigger was a bit too light if I was interchanging rifles. Turns out that 1 lb. 2 oz. is a good compromise. The precision Accu-trigger is designed to adjust down to 6 oz.
Most of them came from the factory set at between 2.5 and 2.8 lbs. That doesn't seem to be a problem.
All my regular Accu-triggers bottom out at 1 lbs. 6 oz. but when they get too close to the lowest setting, they tend to release and lock the trigger if you barely push the safety to the side as you touch the trigger. Pulling straight back doesn't cause the problem
It is actually a safety feature to protect inadvertent firing if the trigger is hit from the side, but at the lightest setting it doesn't take much to cause the trigger to lock up.
However, I have found that after lots of shooting, two of my 5 Accu-triggers can loosen up and the pull gets lighter. When the one trigger gets really light on one of my rifles, closing the bolt too hard will lock the trigger.
It doesn't take much loosening to get from 2 lbs. to under 1 lbs. 6oz so on one rifle, I had to resort to a dab of loc-tite on the adjustment screw to keep the spring from loosening after the second instance of it starting to get really light.
Good luck with your model 10 Stealth. I like the aluminum frame and the Mag-pul adjustable rear stock.
But I'm not sure I'd like the high scope mounts that it would require to mount my 56mm NightForce front bell.
