I would assume, by saying relief angle he is refuring to the angle at the bottom of the sear. The one facing away from the shooter.

I believe Dave stated in the photos that its the Trigger that has the relief angle. " It’s really the TRIGGER which has a relief angle" In the picture, it looks like there is a angle where the safety blade slot starts.
There does look like there's an angle at the bottom of the sear, facing away from the shooter as you mentioned.
I could be wrong. Hopefully Dave will clarify. I like this kind of stuff.
The Sear’s do have an angle at the bottom. Pretty sure that’s what was meant. From all the many I’ve seen, never really could discern a proper “single” angle anyway. And again, if you look at the function, it’s the flat surface on the back of the Sear which engages the Trigger shelf surface. The bottom angle however, does set the Sear/Trigger Shelf surface contact depth on the Accutrigger though.
The Trigger does also have what could be called a Relief, or more accurately, an “Escape” angle just above the Trigger Shelf. Regardless, it’s not all that important. Again, every one I’ve seen is prepared horribly from the factory! Tooling marks, uneven surfaces (which is poison to a trigger’s function.) When I set them up, I stone whatever angle is at the lead of the back surface contacting the Shelf. I make them perfectly even and polished. NO DREMEL! I prefer Triggers around 2lbs or so. I’ve said many times though, you can have two triggers, BOTH at 2lbs, and feel completely different! Having excess creep, grit & overtravel makes any trigger feel horrible! My 2-2.5lb trigger is a pleasure to squeeze off.
I have a Model 12 LRP and I love the trigger. Breaks crisply and consistently. To me it is better than the two SSS Savage triggers on my other two Savage rifles.

Thank you for confirming and the info Dave!
I can confirm 'horribly from the factory' Savage is replacing mine, so I have nothing but good things to say about the customer service/warranty.
The only hassle is that I need a FFL to contact Savage and and order the parts. Savage will only send (trigger and sear) to a FFL.
Yes… that is a bitter fact of which we are all aware. They USED to ship trigger parts directly to patrons with a signed release form. However, our new SUE-happy, Anti EVERYTHING GUN, Socialist heading country has put a stop to that! And as far as liking their CS… just give it some time. You’ll come to hate Savage “Decision Makers/Management” as those of us in the know do.
Now you have to drag me into it. If you like the accutrigger better than the SSs trigger You have not learned how to adjust them.Ooooooo
The Dunning-Kruger effect is alive and well.
