Greetings, first things first its a savage 10 fp .308 new style accutrigger

So i really like the new accutrigger, IMO it has a crisp break and is very smooth. The problem is after the trigger is pulled when im really concentrating it seems to take forever for the round to go off, kind of like a muzzleloader (of course no where near that severe) and i have no idea whats causing it the gun is kept clean and only has 150-200rnds through it. am i crazy? is there not enough oil/grease on the pin? could this be caused by the ammo?

Thanks for the advice,

Frantic

First thing to do is to disassemble the bolt and see if there is anything amiss in there. (Amiss=dirt, grime, solidified grease,...}

The pause between the pulling of the trigger and the firing pin striking the primer is most commonly referred to as "lock time".

Like Mitchalsup advised, clean up the firing pin and trigger assembly to start with.

Well thanks for confirming my susupiscions. I was hoping it wasnt that because from what i understand the savage bolt has to have the firing pin protrusion adjusted upon reassembly. Does anybody have any experience cleaning these bolts? The trigger assembly dosnt worry me much im confident that will be no problem but i dont want to take that bolt apart if i cannot put it back together myself. If nobody has done this could anybody point me towards some reading that might help?

thank guys ,

When you get it apart use simple green to clean it with, then dry very well and oil well.

I was under the impression that you never want to oil the firing pin?

Dry fire it first to make sure the "click" is delayed the same as with a live round, if it is, it is lock time, if it isn't it is hang-fire (more common on rimfires I know but worth checking all the same).
