My dad has a .223 savage (FVSS) with accutrigger. It shoots well, except that about 5-10 percent of the time, when he pulls the trigger nothing happens. The firing pin doesn't impact the primer at all. He blames himself, saying that he isn't pulling the trigger back straight enough. However this problem has happened to me as well with his gun.

Now I am trying to convince him to buy a savage in rimfire with accutrigger and he doesn't want to go for it because of the problems with his .223.

Is this a normal condition with savage's accutrigger? Should he send it back for repair?

My dad doesn't tinker with guns yet - but I'm working on him. He hasn't made any trigger adjustments to the savage.

I'll pass along your suggestions and hopefully we'll get this resolved.

Cheers.
