Some models of Savage firearms come with the company's AccuTrigger. This special trigger setup allows the shooter to customize trigger pull without taking the firearm to a gunsmith. Depending on the model, the trigger pull can be adjusted from as light as 1 1/2 lb. to as heavy as 6 lb. Every AccuTrigger-equipped firearm comes with the required tool to increase or decrease trigger pull and replacement tools are available by contacting Savage's customer service department. Adjusting the trigger is safe and reliable and takes only minutes.

Items you will need

  • Savage firearm equipped with AccuTrigger

  • AccuTrigger adjustment tool

  • 5/32 inch hex wrench

Remove the stock by unscrewing the two screws underneath the stock with the 5/32 inch hex wrench.

Insert the AccuTrigger adjustment tool into the bottom of the trigger return spring, located behind the trigger.

Turn the tool clockwise for heavier trigger pull and counterclockwise for lighter trigger pull.

Replace the stock and tighten down the screws with the 5/32 inch hex wrench.

Warnings
