Bought it two years ago and after 35 rounds the trigger locked up and it wouldn't fire. I sent it back to savage and they fixed and today, after mowing down by the river, I shot it again.
I set up the target at 100 yds and really didn't expect the 147 gr Mil-Surp FMJ to go through like the 3/8 steel plate was butter. I am impressed.

Congratulations. Can't see the pictures though and by your description I am a little disappointed.

Glad to hear you have a working rifle again.
As to steel plates, I have one that is for pistol or .22LR and can attest to the fact that most rifle rounds will go through them like they weren't there, and mine was "only" a .223.

Don't know. They show up find now.
Did the target even move when it was hit?

Glad you got her back. Did Savage say what the problem was with the trigger?

Good question. Inquiring minds want to know.
what model is the rifle and what about the trigger?
While no one ever listens to me,
I am constantly being told to be quiet.

Savage said they replaced the trigger group.
Yes, BDC.
The target spun like a top when it was hit.
The Accutrigger has an adjustment from 6lbs(IIRC) down to 2.5 lbs where I have it set. It sorta feels like a Glock trigger. You know, the little silver part of the trigger moves first then you can press the trigger to fire.
I think the scope was 179.00.
As seen through the scope:

Very nice set up, I think the Nikon scopes are the best low cost optics out there. The rifle looks very similar to the Marlin I have.
oh yes, its a model 10.

Yeah, I just checked out the Marlin bolt actions. I didn't know they made any.
