Wondering what is the difference between the target sear and the standard accutrigger sear?
The Target Sear has a punch mark in the lever arm. Other than that, can’t say there’s any real difference. I would say maybe the angle of the let off surface, but it’s made with the same steel in Stamped fashion. Perhaps more care is taken when the edges are prepped at the Factory.
I really wish Savage would sell the Target accutrigger to the public, it really is an underrated trigger for sure. I own 8 Savages and 3 with the target accutrigger, would love to have it on all of them.
Newbie question... and just purchased my 1st Savage.
I was just looking at the trigger/sear on my rifle and was wondering...
How does this edge stay 'defined' over time ?
Its stamped steel...hardened I would assume, but stamped steel just isn't the same in my mind. Wouldn't this have the possibility of wearing down or even chipping ?
I know its not a custom bench rifle, but was just interested in the design.
The parts are case hardened. That is why I I want to make my own that are Through Hardened. But yes, like anything else, the edges DO wear. They don’t chip but I do see them marred with age. They are kept fresh by dressing (stoning) the surfaces. Of course with case hardening, they can only be dressed once really. (Precisely why I want to do Through hardened). However, the nature of the parts being what it is, wear occurs quite slowly. It takes many thousands of rounds (Trigger Pulls), to showing discernible wear. Even if dressing the surface below the case hardening into the softer metal will still take quite some many rounds to mar the metal again.
This is no different than any trigger on any other firearm.
Thank you for the reply and info. Makes sense.
I like the trigger, it breaks crisp, but adjusting the pull weight lighter, (if using the rifle for bench rest precision) becomes a tricky.
