My accutrigger is still a little stiff when set on the lightest setting. Is there a way to lighten this up by replacing a spring. Or is it better to go with an aftermarket trigger. If aftermarket is the way to go what is everyone favorite aftermarket trigger.

Shooter's suggestion here is fantastic. I got one from sharpshooter supply over a year ago and it is great. Turns the Savage accutrigger into an absolutely super one!

This is the first thing I do when I get a accutrigger is CALL SSS.They are very slow to respond to emails.Last I knew it $5 plus shipping for the spring.This will allow you to drop it down to the 1.5-1.3/4 lb range.

I just looked at SSS web site and I was unable to find the spring you guys are talking about, where is it or maybe a part # would help. I just got a 10 ML and the trigger is terrible off the bench.
Thanks

skennedy, I didn't like mine either. I called Savage and they put a Varminter spring in there and I could adjust it to where it was acceptable on the bench. Call their Customer Service. They will be helpful. Good Shooting!

skennedy, what do you mean by your accu-trigger being stiff? I have three ML IIs with accu-trigger, and I would not call any of them "stiff "when they had factory spring in them. (All three converted to spring from Sharps Shooter supply...which can be adjusted lower than factory spring...but I run them to high end of the new spring for safety as they are mainly hunting rifles)
If by stiff you mean harder than a bench rest gun...yes you are on track. But if your trigger is just generally stiff...make sure you are pulling straigt back on center of trigger...you can add some resistance there.

Stiff===hard to pull. I have to use quit a bit of pressure to pull the trigger even on the lightest setting. So how hard is it to replace the factory spring?

I agree with Tar12, something seems amiss.
Changing the spring is not difficult. The caveat, what follows is not the only way, maybe not even the best way to do it, but just the way I have done it.
I have done my three without taking the trigger assembly apart. Remove the bolt, and take the barrel and action out of the stock. The bottom of the spring has a piece of wire that bends strait down, and fits into a hole drilled in the metal. I release as much tension as I can on the spring, lift the end piece out of the hole and slide to one side (just so that it is not in the hole), then use the trigger spring adjustment tool to turn the spring out its bed. (the coils on the spring act like threads on a screw, and the spring is screwed into its bed).
Reverse process to install.
