Guess I buy my Savages at a different place lol.I have had over a dozen at one time or another and have NEVER had one fail to chamber or eject a cartridge so feeding has never failed for me even once.The tang safety is an excellant three way with a middle setting that locks the trigger but allows working the bolt to unload.It is adjustable for tension and can be made as easy or stiff to work as you desire,I have hit a couple times when someone was bad mouthing a savage safety or trigger and I popped it out of the stock and adjusted it in about 2-3 minutes and they were all smiles when they felt it adjusted properly.The safeties have to be adjusted WHEN the trigger adjustment is changed and a lot of people don' t do this.From my years of shotgun hunting I prefer a top tang safety to all other designs.The triggers are adjustable for weight and creep and easily set to good crisp hunting let-off(3-4#).Since the new accu-triggers are being phased in they will all soon have the best trigger in the industry over the counter(adjustable from 1 1/2# up).Accuracy is truly the best out of the box of any factory rifle as their floated button rifled barrels and actions are capable of very tight groups with no expensive aftermarket gunsmith work required.Their stocks if synthetic are flimsy and need the cheap viagra treatment to stiffen forends(epoxy or bedding jell with small tubes or rods) or should be had in laminate,wood,or one of the Sharp Shooter Supply versions($225) with the aluminum bedding skeleton.The bluing is thin and unless its kept well oiled can rust so I opt for the stainless versions that are still cheaper than most competitiors blued offerings.They are a bargin to buy and a joy to see what accuracy they are capable of out of the box with a trigger tweak.As Buzz said all the newer guns except maybe Sako and Tikka can use a trigger adjustment right out of the box as the lawyer weight trigger pulls are not unique to Savage only.To be able to buy a stainless weather warrior for $450-465 new and a laminate stainless fluted heavy barreled varmint gun with 1 1/2# accu-trigger for $550-575 is truly a bargin in todays gun market.
