Re: Accu-trigGer problem
Just to clarify, the "adjustment screw" isn't a screw at all, but rather the tightly wound tail end of the return spring. The adjustment tool is a slotted 3/32" bar that grabs the absolute tail end of this spring; allowing you to turn the whole spring in or out of the threaded whole in the rear of the trigger "T". If you were missing this "adjustment screw", the whole spring would have fallen from the trigger long ago. It is possible to damage this spring by over tightening it. If yours is damaged, call savage for a replacement (and get an adjustment tool from them if you don't already have one).
Please review the following paragraph from the above linked article for adjustment information.
"To adjust the AccuTrigger pull weight, simply remove the two pillar-bedding stock screws, lift off the stock, and insert the tool supplied with the rifle into the bottom of the trigger return spring, engaging the spring-tail with the slot on the tool. For a heavier pull, turn the tool clockwise. Maximum trigger pull (nominally six pounds) comes when the spring "clicks" when rotated. For a lighter pull, turn the tool counter-clockwise. Minimum pull (nominally 1.5 pounds) is at the point when the large coil contacts the top surface of the trigger and you detect resistance. If you try to force the spring beyond these limits, you won't create any danger, but you'll destroy the spring and the pull will feel lousy."
