Got the trigger adjusted on this today also. This Accutrigger breaks at 1.75 pounds with the spring backed out as far as it goes.

Question... why a muzzle brake for a 6.5?
I've got a Savage 10Tac, it's an excellent rifle right out of the box. It must have the newer AccuStock... it's quite rigid and shoots very well. Took me a while to warm up to the trigger, it felt too much like a Glop trigger, which I hate. Wish mine came in FDE or DT, too... but nothing a little spray paint won't fix.

Thought that's what spotter scopes were for...
They (muzzle brake) do make it nice for that though. Had one put on a Savage 110 in 06'. Could watch the bullet hit with it.

Absolutely love this Varmint Accutrigger. After shooting 150 rounds through it. It lightened up a wee bit. It's breaking clean at 1.5 pounds
This rifle is real easy to shoot. And with the adjustable length of pull and comb height. It's very comfortable. |

Pssst.... Kilo....
While not the Accutrigger, I set my old, $250 Stevens 200 to the same 1.5 Lb trigger pull... Note $250 rifle, not, wait... How much did you pay for that rifle??? lol Yeah, I agree, while I can set my stock triggers pretty well, they are definitely not an Accutrigger. Now to put that Sightron SIII on that baby.....

Oh I know about the Stevens trigger. I had several of those rifles.
I never got one below 2.5 pounds that would pass a drop test though. Oh yeah, I paid $650 for this rifle. Could have saved a little online, but I would rather give the money to my local guy. |

I modify a lot of Savage 10s. McGowen is one of the very best savage replacement barrels out there. Be careful with lowering the savage trigger below 2#. I install BasiX or Timmney triggers on many. The 6.5 Creed really doesn't need a break. A 11 crown on a 26in. 1/7in. or 8in. twist barrel for a 6.5mm is ideal. The 7.5 to 7 in. twist for a 6mm creed shooting the 105gr bullet. With hand-loads these will shoot 1/4 moa @100 on floated and bedded stocks. The Vortex Viper 6.5x20x50 BDC can be had for about $400 and is a very good scope for the money. This is just a few things that, in my experience, work.

The Varmint/Tactical Accutrigger according to Savage is adjustable from 1.5-3 pounds. Also it passes the drop test multiple times just fine.
This rifle shoots pretty good. If I could get my act together it would shoot even better. |

Shoulda kept my wife's old Rossi R243.
She was shooting close to that with the 105gr Hornady Match over RL26 with a 1:10 barrel 24". Factory everything but the bipod. Bought used for $150. No stability issues out to 600 yards, despite what Hornady said.
