SO I performed a forum search and found out that improper trigger technique on an Accu-trigger will definitely cause this proble every time. When I was not pulling directly back I was creating an improper pressure angle which causes the silver trigger blade to mal-function and messes up the trigger release of the firing pin process. More research on my part will help me better understand how releasing the firing pin to go forward in any manner, could cause a non strike to occur?????? Although there are also many posts and some articles in the FAQ section which go into great detail about protruding firing pin settings and proper lenghts of firing pin to head space etc. So the Savage bolt seems to have some ability designed in for humans to muck up the firing pin lenght settings as well as the potential for Accu-trigger induced failure to fire situations. I am glad that my bolt and firing pin are set to give the proper lenght as I only use factory ammo and that would drive me crazy. As it is I am now only 1/2 crazy due to me knowing that I MUST always pull both trigger blades straight back or I could have another FtF. At least I do not use a Savage to hunt dangerous game with HaHa!
I admit that I was using a very unnnatural shooting rest which cocked my trigger hand to an awkward angle and helped me create this problem. But I have NEVER had a trigger pull induced FtF on any other rifle that I have ever shot....WOW.
Thanks again and be careful with this undocumented feature if you have an Accu-trugger!
