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.
