Im not 100% sure what the issue is. You reckon its worn down over time, but its been fired 150 times since 2011?

The accutrigger is an integral part of the trigger. I think your problem is with your trigger mod. I have an original accutrigger, one of the first batch in my hand right now. Its been used and abused more than most rifles. Its functioning fine. Iv just done everything horrible I can think of to it and no malfunction.

What used to happen on the centerfires (that ones a rimfire) is that when you pulled the trigger without the accutrigger blade (by pressing obliquely on the trigger) the whole thing would lock up. My 6 ounce accutrigger could be given a firm thump on the but and it would lock up. Im not sure what would happen if you did this with the accutrigger removed, and the safety involved, but I doubt it would be pretty.

My guess is you had the safety on, gave it a whack or a bump that should have engaged the accutriggers mechanism, which I think is part of the safety, but it was not there to do its job, so then the safety was holding the firing pin back.

Either way, a whole lot of Savage bashing for a dodgy trigger, when you pulled out a very important part of that trigger. Getting a new trigger is really your issue, not the distributors. Even though I think the mark up on them is just a piss take, hes not really obliged to drop it for you if you broke your rifle messing round with it in the first place.

Title should read "Savage Safety Warning, Leave your accutrigger intact!"

Your right about the mark up being a piss take, they are $750. CHEAP!!! Meant to be $885 USD.
