Savage A17
Does anyone know any information on the Savage A17 trigger problem? My brother bought one and experienced a problem with the trigger failing to reset. He had to manually push the trigger forward to reset. I think he said it did that about 4 times out of about 20 rounds. He looked it up on the internet and found youtube videos that others had posted with the same problem. He made the 60 mile trip to Academy and they said it wasn't their problem to take it up with Savage.

I heard that only Savage A17 ammo should be fired through the A17 rifle. wondering if anyone has any info on this 0 -
I got word today that he's found a 'smith that can change out the trigger group with an aftermarket trigger. If anyone's interested, I can post results. 0 -
Sounds like a rather expensive fix for a warranty problem.
The small local gun shop has an A17 on the rack. We were discussing the viability of coyote hunting with a 17 HMR last week and he commented about the rifle not getting sold as quickly as he expected. As considerately as I could, I told him I had no use for that aberration of firearms evolution(?).0 -
Who makes the aftermarket trigger group replacement? Really don't think there is one out yet. I would send it back to Savage. It is their problem, they should fix it for free. 0 -
It's not out yet, but the smith supposedly has an order in with Timney, when they release their production. 0
