Thought I would let all of you know of a design flaw you may not be aware of with the Savage AccuTrigger. I found out when I was aiming at a deer last week and heard a sickening click instead of the boom I was expecting. Thankfully I was still able to get the deer but it easily could have been a lost opportunity.
For the rifle to fire properly you need to have your finger on the lower part of the trigger to pull the release and then the trigger. My problem apparently was that I had my finger too high on the trigger and did not release the lever properly and heard a click when the trigger was pulled. I ejected the shell at the time since I wasn't sure what had happened but all that would have been required was to lift the bolt to re cock the gun. The round fired normally later so it was good.
If you have an AccuTrigger you can probably make it misfire easily if you have your finger high or on the side of the trigger, maybe you can let us know what happened for you if you test it out.
I'm going to get one of these and have found a place here in Canada that stocks them.

Sometimes you need to fire the gun in an awkward position so I want something that is going to go bang every time. The reviews all seem to say it is a nicer trigger than the stock Savage trigger, sometime in the spring I'll buy one and let you know how it is.
I like Savage and this particular 260 Rem has been very accurate and has now accounted for 12 blacktails and one mulie but it hasn't been perfect. The new trigger and an aftermarket magazine would both make it pretty close to perfect.
Hope this helps.
