The Accutrigger is something Savage engineers came up with...
They couldn't offer the shooting public a nice adjustable trigger that would go down to 1.5-2 pounds pull, because the liability lawyers would scream bloody murder. So they made a Glock-style pre-trigger safety lever, which protrudes through the front of the slotted trigger and prevents the trigger from being pulled until it is pulled to the rear itself, flush with the trigger face. Then the real trigger pull can happen, which is set to a more-normal 1.5-2 pounds pull. Here's a picture of an Accutrigger compared to the replacement Rifle Basix model:
Granted, if one has never experienced a Jewell, Timney, Shilen, Dayton, Canjar, Keplinger, Moyer, or properly-adjusted factory Browning, Winchester, or Remington trigger, then they won't really notice the difference when working with an Accutrigger. It'll probably be the greatest thing since sliced bread to them, and they'll plod along, unaware that there's better to be had. The folks at Savage are betting on this, actually. They know there's folks who'll buy the guns, maybe put a dozen rounds in it just prior to deer season, and then a couple more during the hunt, and stuff the rifle into the closet until next year.
Unfortunately, there's folks like me who actually compete or shoot a lot, and have the Jewells, Shilens, Canjars, Winchester Model 70, and Remington 700 that break like the proverbial glass rod with no pre-trigger safety levers to contend with, and our rifles with those clean-breaking, light triggers never ventilated anyone. (Probably because we paid attention to the 10 Commandments of Gun Safety, and kept our fingers off the triggers until the crosshairs were on a verified target) To us, the Savage Accutrigger is nothing more than a nuisance wart, a panacaea for liability lawyers, and an extra part that offers the opportunity to fail at the wrong moment, much like the lock on new Smith & Wesson revolvers, or the recently-discontinued ISS/J-Lock on Remington's bolt guns. (See, at least Remington wisened up and got rid of 'em)
Which is why I'm more than happy to send new Savage owners over to Rifle Basix to purchase a nice adjustable trigger unit. Although it doesn't appear Rifle Basix needs any help, the Savage engineers pretty much gave them guaranteed employment as soon as the Accutrigger showed up on the market.
