Ruger needs an ACCUTRIGGER

[JSwenson]

Ruger needs to look at the ACCURTRIGER, and see if it is feasible. I just bought a Savage MK II with the ACCURTRIGGER; it is AAAAAAMAZING. I have bought three 10/22s in the last two months ( 2 as birthday presents for my sons and one for myself). Two of the triggers were pretty good, but the one I kept should embarrass Ruger as the worse trigger to ever leave the factory. I have already replaced the trigger group, but why can’t they offer something like the ACCUTRIGGER as an option?

People have been easily improving the Ruger 10/22 trigger for years and years. Very simple to do for those that choose. The rest, are likely quite content with the 10/22 the way they come, especially for an inexpensive plinker. Even the Accutrigger is quite a bit less than what can be done to the 10/22.

I have one good trigger group that I can swap into any of my 10/22s when I need a good trigger, but I am just saying that whole Savage rifle with the ACCIUTRIGGER did not cost as much as my aftermarket 10/22 trigger group.

The primary reason why I didn't keep the last Savage I had here was because I may be stuck with a Glock trigger on a couple handguns, but I'll be jiggered if I'll own a Glock trigger on a rifle. :)

I just bought a 93R17 BVSS on a whim. I always thought the AccuTrigger was a gimmick until the day I sighted it in. I am completely convinced that this trigger is the best, "Out of the box" trigger on an inexpensive rimfire that I ever had the pleasure of owning. Sure, every gun can be improved with some skilled trigger work but the AccuTrigger needs nothing.

I give Savage mucho credit for the Accutrigger. Savage forced most of the other rifle makers to follow suit with improved triggers on their rifles.

For years gunwriters (shills) excused lousy triggers on factory rifles with the BS excuse that "company laywers make RemChestUger ship the guns with 8 lb trigger pulls".

Savage, with the Accutrigger, changed all that.

I actually agree with all the above. I applaud Savage for making the rest of the industry at least attempt to improve their triggers. But, I aint crazy about the Accutrigger either. Have seen them bind, and have seen them fail to reset.

Swap triggers? :? :roll: Ookay. Well, no mention of what group you purchased but just guessing that since each 10/22 gets the trigger swapped from one to the other, none are builds with all upper-level components. That being assumed, I'd venture to guess that a simple $35 DIY kit would be more than sufficient and satisfying. Having gone the new assembly route twice (a third forthcoming) and tried a bunch of the re-works/DIY kits, I can say from experience there's some assemblies that just are not worth the price. Hopefully you didn't dive into one of those. With anything, if you change things out, change them with a part that makes sense for your needs not just for it's brand. I see a lot of folks that will buy the fancy brands and then fail to mate those with like quality components. It's a waste. The alternatives to the complete assemblies for $200+ can MOST always be what is more appropriate to the build.
Then again, if one's that enamored by the Accutrigger, why buy a gun without one? :wink: One certainly doesn't need to spend the price of a whole Savage to get a decent user-friendly trigger for a 10/22. Those that do go that route...well, the smart ones do so to use as a part of a complete build using other equal quality parts. The others...they like to brag and/or have high expectations and expect that $200 trigger to be the solve all. :roll:

Oops, I was wrong. The Savage ACCUTRIGGER and the Marlin Pro-Fire are only on bolt actions. Except for a single shot Winchester, that my dad gave me, I have had nothing but 10/22s for over 30 years. I had heard so much about the Accutrigger that I had to try it, and even on my first attempt to buy one, I came home with a WalMart Special instead. Later I did get the Savage, and that trigger totally amazed me, but I was not knowledgeable about their semis.

The Savage AccuTrigger is great, I don't deny that. But a Volquartsen hammer or sear will do wonders on a Ruger. It usually gets the trigger pull down to about 2.5lbs+/- and it is a drop in part.

I was considering the Timney group for my current 10/22 build, but now I'm gonna go with a hammer given the reviews on several different makers being so good.

As far as the Accutrigger, I agree its a nice trigger but I don't care for the feel of it. I've always gotten really good triggers with a simple stoning on the Ruger or the factory Remington adjustable.

IMHO, drop in parts are one thing that usually most can do on their own with a moderate amount of mechanical knowledge. On the other hand, I have never tried to do any stoning on any trigger. If you don't know what you are doing and change the angles of the mating parts(hammer/sear) or change the amount of contact between mating parts(hammer/sear) you possibly could wind up with a dangerous weapon that could get someone injured or dead. I am not trying to flame anyone or sound like a know it all, I just believe that shooters should know their own abilities before they attempt a trigger job on any weapon. I know of one instance where a .45 semiauto pistol was sent back to the factory for repairs. Luckily the dealer tried the pistol before he turned it over to the customer. When he fired the gun, it went full auto and scared the heck out of him. Even the factory gunsmiths can make mistakes.

I may be alone on this but I simply don't like the AccuTrigger. It's basically a super cheap fix for a poor design (on the Savage anyway). There are ways to make trigger action smooth and clean using the parts already in the design of most bolt rifles(semiauto is a whole different deal).

I had a very accurate Savage 12FV in 223 with the AccuTrigger, and I contribute much of the accuracy to that trigger. It was as good as any trigger I have used.
All but one of my shooter 10/22's have Volquartsen hammers and sears installed in them. Each one has shown vast improvement over the factory trigger.
My match 10/22 has a Kidd drop in trigger group in it. These are great. I never gave thought to swapping it around in different guns, such as the OP mentioned, but I can see where that wouldn't be such a bad thing to do.

Accutrigger is simply an super cheap way to get around redesigning a poor original design by Savage. I sold exactly ONE of the Accutrigger Savage rifles and darn near had to take it back due to customer complaint. I own and shoot several Savage rifles but only the older models some of which have the RifleBasix triggers. If I feel the need to get another Savage, I'll find a decent used one W/O the AT.
