[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 2459844, member: 10291"] The Timney trigger designed to replace the Savage Accu-Trigger should be used with caution. Unlike the Accu-Trigger which has the “safety blade” which, as many have noted, it serves as a safety block to avoid the release of the sear at low trigger weights. The Timney is the identical design, but without the safety blade/sear block. If the hammer drops at too low a weight setting with fast bolt cycling, the rifle will fire without the safety blade to block the sear. Ask me how I know! When using the Timney replacement, as stated in their instructions, the weight should not be set below 1.5# and the rifle should be thoroughly tested with rigorous cycling before use! Surely a matter of preference, but I like the Accu-Trigger when set up properly. The hunting/standard design functions very well at a low setting of around 2.5#. THE ISSUE WITH SETTING TOO LOW TRIGGER A WEIGHT IS THAT THE SPRING IS TOO SHORT AND THE SEAR IS NOT SECURELY HELD. I replaced the Savage spring with the Timney spring(only) which is longer and it works perfectly at 1.5#, while taking advantage of the safety block in the Savage AccuTrigger. I pretty sure that this spring is the same one used in the target Accu-trigger, and available as an aftermarket replacement. [/QUOTE]
