Old Savage Accutrigger. Tips/Tricks to cheaply reduce pull weight?

[scdogman]

The regular accutrigger and varmint are the same except for the spring. The varmint spring will get you down to 1.5 pounds. Spring change is all u need.

The target accutrigger(red) is different than the others and is not compatible.

1.5 is plenty low for a hunting rig

Gun Shack appears to only sell the target spring.

Accu-Trigger Target Spring

Accu-Trigger Target Spring - 105270 - Triggers and Trigger Parts - Replaces the spring from the standard Accu-Trigger with the spring from the Savage Target Action. It will reduce trigger pull to approximately 1.5 - 2.5 lbs. Note: This will only work in

Do you mean the target spring is not compatible with the regular/varmint accutrigger, or do you mean that other trigger parts are not compatible between the target/varmint/regular?

I'm not sure we want a maximum of ≤ 2.5 lbs. My buddy (and myself almost) would consider a 2.5 lb trigger VERY light for a hunting rig. 2lbs would be a no go for certain.

If the target spring from Gun Shack is not capable of near enough 2.5 lbs, then it's actually too light I think.
