masterblaster, first, the SAV-2 trigger should adjust with no problem. I have installed many and have never had a problem getting 1.5 lbs or just 5oz's. I would be glad to look at it if you were near. You might try calling Rifle Basix and they may be able to assist you.
2nd, I am assuming you only have the regular Accu-trigger. The red blade is only an indicator that the accu-trigger is on a PTA and can be adjusted pretty low. There's only one part in the target trigger that actually separate's the two Accu-Triggers which will allow the lower adjustment, and it's not the blade.

PS: Savage will only sell these parts to a gunsmith or an FFL.
Also, pdog mentioned above the part is the sear which I was refraining from mentioning. But I did a search and it's mentioned in several threads.
I still highly recommend working with the SAV-2 and it's a good trigger, since you already have it. Sometimes they will test our patience, but maybe watch the DVD again and start over. Maybe watching this video will help. I feel one of the adjustment screws is way out of adjustment preventing you from going higher than 8oz's.
