Accutrigger problems
I have found that most of the problems with the Savage Accu-trigger is the nut behind the buttstock.
It seems that this nut generally loosens off the Accu-trigger spring to get a very light trigger pull, but backs off the spring too much and if the bolt is worked rapidly, the firing pin bounces or pushes the trigger sear downwards, and rides over it, thus not cocking the firing pin.
The first solution to the problem is to turn the spring inwards a bit, making for more positive engagement of the firing pin. You do not need much, try about one turn at a time.
