[QUOTE="big-foot, post: 111274, member: 3829"] [ QUOTE ] <font color="red"> All Savage parts will swap in </font> so you can choose a variety of triggers from SSS, Timney, and Rifle Basix. [/ QUOTE ] This was probably just a typo, everything else in this post and thread seems to be spot on. The reciever for an Accutrigger gun gets machined differently than a Stevens or the older Savage reciever so an Accutrigger will not fit on a non-Accutrigger gun. Also, they lengthened the action screw spacing on the short action guns recently to make room for the new "Pheonix" magazine system. So the stocks on these guns won't fit on the Stevens or the older Savage recievers. My 2 year old Savage is now "old style". [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] Still love it tho. Some like the Stevens triggers just fine for hunting after adjustment, mines an Accutrigger so I can't tell you first hand. Ted says he gets a three pound pull and a crisp break. Savage did offer the .260 just a couple of years ago. I guess they didn't sell well because they dropped them. Too bad, that's the caliber that I'd like to have too. I figure I might get another 223 gun for varmints and screw in a .260 barrel down the road. Nobody lightens Savage recievers that I'm aware of but the ID and OD are the same diameters as Rem 700s so I'm sure that a smith that machines down 700s could do the same to a Savage/Stevens reciever and get similar weight reductions.
