    Honestly, what a way to screw up the look of a rifle action than by printing this crap on it. At least leave it black, now I have to paint the thing or my OCD will kick in every time I look at it

    I don't remember exactly where, the language says something to the effect of "modifying/obliterating receiver markings from the original manufacturer"

    Perhaps I'm incorrect on this, it's happened before ;)

    I'm in the same boat, I seem to recall seeing a requirement for Manufacturer's name, Model name, and location of manufacture, but I don't recall where... :)
     
    I hate to say this, but Savage put it there for all the former Remington owners who never experienced a factory trigger that was under 42 pounds of pull. The lawyers suggested they send a recorded message as most Remington owners cant read.
     
    Pull the trigger off the action take the safety blade off { yes that is what it is a second safety if you need a second safety, an some do, leave it on} if not an your finger is your safety, then take it off an use the blade spring for the trigger you will love it. But then it will be like a Remington it may go off on it's own. if you slam the bolt,carry,or just set there long enough it may go off. Had RB trigger on a 22-250 that was so light that if you were not ready to shoot you did not lock the bolt, timed it, lock bolt it would go off 7-8 sec by it's self that was a fine trigger if you knew you touched it it went bang.
     
    I have several friends shooting this action for F-class matches and the only way they work is by closing the action really slow when it is cycled. This is definitely not meant for normal cycling in a rapid fire setting.
     
    Dfoosking, it wouldn't have fired as the orange safety blade keeps sear engaged to fp to avoid AD. The several pta i have all came with a rubber pad built into the bolt handle. My lrp is set at 12 oz and u can rack that action hard and drop test it, trigger never goes to lock.
