You have a standard Savage single stage trigger. The Accutrigger was not created until 2002. Has nothing to do with anyone thinking the original design was “unsave”. For all intent & purpose, it was a marketing gimmick...as most things are! It was also a way to have a the Varmint version at 1.5lbs, Target version @ 6oz & still keep the lawyers happy!
Although, the Accutrigger DOES provide an actual safety aspect when set very light. We all know & have seen bolt guns that could have the sear tripped from banging the butt of the rifle, or good hard racking the bolt home. With a traditional rifle, this will send the firing pin to its destination. In the Accutrigger’s case, a round CAN NOT be fired unless the safety blade is depressed. Even INTENTIONALLY pulling the side of the trigger, but not the safety blade, will NOT release the firing pin. As I said, some like it...most(shooters) do not.
