I currently am running a RifleBasix SAV-1 trigger after my AccuTrigger went bad on me. (Liked it) Model 10 FCP .308.

The Rifle Basix is the go to guy for us here, they support Veterans and Heroes,. Buy with confidence.
I have been using the Timney for about two years now without complaint.
I had a SAV-2 on my .25-06. It felt good. I like supporting our vets and heroes!
I couldn't get all the creep out of the SAV-1, while maintaining 100% confidence in it not slam firing.
The SAV-2 has an extra lever that gives the trigger shoe extra mechanical advantage over the sear. That allows for lighter release weight, and magnifies creep. I can't get mine 100% creep free. Additionally, the SAV-2 has a really janky look/feel to it, the way it flops around.
Frankly, I prefer the accutrigger over both RB triggers I've had, as well as the Timneys and SSS triggers I've felt on other guys Savages.

I put in a timney and it works really well
I really liked the accutrigger, too. Mine went bad because I pull the trigger back and to the side. You think if I could shim one where it took out the side slop, it would tolerate my off-angle trigger pull? Until I refined my pull. Are shims possible and do-able?
You'll have to elaborate on the failure mode of your accutrigger for me to opine on this.
It looks like my trigger sets inside a "housing", and there is enough slack to allow it to rattle in there. I'm hoping I can shim it in there to take out some slack.
What happens when it wobbles? I'm not understanding the failure mode. What is mechanically happening that shouldn't?
According to my gunsmith, there is enough side play in the trigger mechanism that apparently wears something out after enough firing if you don't pull the trigger straight back. I accidentally pull mine a little to the side , and that must not be good for the AccuTrigger. I've seen the play in it after he showed me.
FYI , I don't think the SAV2 works on rifles with the trigger guard bolt release. I'm not sure which style your's has.
Ive used the sav2, and would recommend it to anyone..i love mine. Cant comment on the timney for the savage, but every other timney i have ised has been awesome.! Good luck!
