The Accutrigger went berzerk on me and the gun went back to Savage. They are sending a replacement gun as soon as it comes off the line but they said that could be weeks. One thing I plan to do is replace the trigger with a Timney, not because of the problem I had but for better piece of mind out where it counts most. I shouldn't have to think about how 'straight' I pull the trigger when that brownie is in full charge. I just need results and the gun is capable of delivering results.
Yeah, it kicks, but that's its way of letting me know the job is getting done. The 270 Win I'm using in the mean time is a popgun next to this.
The stainless barrel and synthetic stock are perfect for the area. Most years we see 180" of rain annually, we had over 200" each of the last two years. That's one reason I stuck with open sights till now. Very often I'm in heavy brush with less than 10 yards of sight distance to work with. The short frame is very easy to pack and swing as needed.
Anyway, thanks for the tips, I'll look into the break.
