    Accutriger safety blade spring ?

    During my last range session I experimented with wireing the blade to it's rear position to the trigger. Still can't find any mechanical reason for the drastic differences in the required pull Wt. to fire the weapon .
    So, what have you'll done to reduce the pull Wt. on the safety blade ??, Cut off a couple of coils, replaced it with ____________ ??

    Thank you

    On my precision action, I hardly notice it. I'll have to do
    a check and get back. Also wondering, with the several
    versions of the trigger if Savage did a tweak on each one
    to keep the lawyers in their chairs !!

    Hu? Why does it matter? You take up the slack in the safety blade before you get to the trigger.

    Just for the hell of it, I bent some copper wire into a hook
    then place it on the blade. I kept snipping off some wire
    until the blade stayed in place......73.8 grains That's about
    1/6th of an ounce.

    I've read of others replacing the accutrigger blade spring using a ballpoint pen spring. Choose one that is on the weaker side if you prefer. Are you referring to a Target (red blade) Accutrigger?

    Over the years I've replaced all the triggers on my original model 12FV actions with used Target Accutriggers purchased on this site. A very effective and inexpensive upgrade.

    Sounds like you should replace the trigger to me.
