Did it fire or did it snap? It will not fire without blade depressed. If yours does, get on the phone to Savage ASAP.

It was a learning process, I posted after that thread that it didn't impact the cartridge, just clicked, I would rather it didn't release the hammer because I did have a FTF once when my finger was not flat on the trigger. It would be much better if the blade stops the trigger from being pulled rather than a firing pin block, I can see when wearing gloves I would get FTF's.

The Accutrigger on my Savage could not be set very light without dropping onto the safety tab. I replaced it with an aftermarket which I set to suit my taste and it did not trip when the bolt was slammed shut.

Hmm. I find it strange that anyone would have trouble with the Accu-Trigger. I've owned several Savages in a variety of calibers over 30+ years, and I've never had any problems with any of them. I like them. And I have many friends that I've turned on to Savages, not one of which ever had any problems with them either.
Basically I treat them as an adjustable two-stage trigger, which I've always been partial to for precision-type shooting or game hunting. But I've never had one misfire or malfunction or not fire when I wanted it to. I did bend one once through sheer stupidity, but replacing one is about as difficult as changing a lightbulb. |

I hope you guys know that my only Accu-trigger experience has been with a B-Mag .17WSM, they are already known for a bad bolt design. The higher quality Savages probably have better triggers than my B-Mag, I never used a high end Savage to compare. For one thing the blade on mine is too far forward, others I have seen the blade is much closer to the trigger. I might look into seeing if it can be moved back a little making it easier to get my finger in, but I don't use the gun that much though so it hasn't been a priority. I did add shims to the blade to keep it centered in the slot, it was rubbing on the slot before.
