I pin mine back if shooting off the bench. If they go out in the field they get unpinned.

You Pin it back? Hmm. Seems like this could hinder bench shooting. Can you post a pic? I mean, what do you use? I’m envisioning like a rubberband around the blade & trigger shoe. Which to me, would be a nuisance not allowing mating of trigger face & pad of index finger.
The way I set up my Accutriggers, the blade does not present and discernible extra weight. And to me, is reminiscent of a 2-stage. When I depress the safety blade, it’s almost like a “keep” for my finger. I could hold it there easily for as long as needed. From there, it’s just that hint more of pressure & the Sear drops. It’s very predictable; like a proper 2-stage. But I know, not everyone likes 2-stage triggers, so there is that. In which case I’d recommend an aftermarket, or I can work an Accutrigger in the same way I always do, but simply remove the blade for those who prefer 1-stage. But I do think the 3-screw is a fantastic 1-stage trigger. Having that Sear engagement makes it very, very nice. Honestly, a cell worked 3-screw trigger is to me, every bit as good as an aftermarket. The way I set the up anyway.
Well, that worked out pretty well. Paid $650 (including tax) for the XP package, and sold the barrel and scope for $320 just now, so I have $330 in a brand new action and stock. I would have paid $100 for the stock, so that's like getting a brand new action for $230. Can't beat that with a stick!
Congrats, looks like you got through with decent deal. Here is the link to an active listing on GB, in case anyone else is looking:

Seems every gun forum I belong to has a classified section, Buy, Sell, Trade.
Last summer I placed a Wanted to Buy in all the forums I belong to. Explaining exactly what I was looking for and a ballpark of what I wanted to spend. I soon received a response from a member that had a Model 11 DBM Bottom Bolt Release barreled receiver. He had no history of the gun or the barrel other than a customer brought it in with a broken stock. He offered the whole thing to me, including the broken stock, for $150.00 shipped to my FFL.
It now has a Boyds At-One stock and is awaiting a 6mm BR Norma barrel.
So you may want to try that avenue to find what you need.
Thanks. I did that first, and only went to buy the new package after striking out. I'm happy with my decision. I have a brand new action and stock for $350 out of my pocket. And the stock is factory camo and has the right barrel channel for my aftermarket barrel. Couldn't be happier to be honest.
Personally... I love the Pre-Accutrigger rifles. I find the stock 4 screw triggers, (when you can find them), do an amazing job when setup properly.
Yes I've owned Accutrigger rifles... just don't care for them. But then I'm an old fart and set in my ways. LOL
I guess you could say that's the same reason I like Accutriggers. Grew up with 2 stage military triggers. The feel of the blade to me is like the the 2 stage.
I agree Charlie. The Accutrigger is very 2-Stage-ish feel. I like that little take up, like your finger resting on a shelf. It feels like better control to me.
