[QUOTE="nksmfamjp, post: 2946048, member: 1951"] Sometimes it seems like that! I think it is just an older design that is pretty complex. Additionally, I think triggers were not made with quite the focus they were today. To a certain extent factory triggers are kind of pre-accutrigger and post-accutrigger. Before the Savage, a good trigger out of the box was 3.5lbs with some creep and additional issues. A bad trigger was like 5.5lbs and felt like a discount store staple gun! After accutrigger the pretty good 3lb trigger is the norm. My XPR has a good 3.5lb stock MOA trigger. My M77 Hawkeye has a great 3 lb trigger. I was going to replace, but I asked myself what will be improved? It is a great trigger! Those old 3.5lb plus triggers were basically the result of engineers designing a safe well sprung trigger mechanism without being able to really make it. The engineer wants fairly high spring and contact forces while delivering in specification force to the finger. It works in design and prototype. Then manufacturing loses control of fit and surface finish…..then you get a 3.0-5.7lb rough trigger that often breaks in ok at best. [/QUOTE]
