you can buy a USED short action rem and HAVE the GUN built to your liking too
but if you shot a 1,000 rounds thru your savage and still having issue's with trigger control
I think you need to spend a little more time getting gun basic's down
as the most accurate rifle in the world is ONLY as good as the shooter behind it
that blade in the middle of the savage is ONLY a safety device , it shouldn't alter good fundamentals of shooting, as in trigger control and shooting form!
a 1000 rounds of 7mm08 is about 500+ in ammo, in that much bench time, you should be better than you are, as thats a LOT more ammo than MOST guys run down a hunting rifle
and if you ran it thru that rifle without a LOT of cooling time on that factory thin rifle barrel, you could have eaten away a lot of the rifles accuracy potential!
hot barrels and many shots thru one, can be a BAD combo!
a cheaper way to learn good shooting basic's is bench time with a 22 rifle, get good with that at things and the larger rifle will be easier to master and NOT cost you as much in Ammo!
