Hi all. I'm ready to purchase a trigger for my PRS Rimfire rifle. It's a 700 clone so I have a lot of choices.
The first question is single vs 2 stage. I've got a lot of experience shooting both kinds and appreciate the benefits of each.
On my service rifle platform with a minimum weight of 4.5 lbs a 2 stage definitely helps.
I like 2 stage triggers, especially when they have to be heavy for the sake of safety or because of the rules of a particular game.
But they are definitely slower. With a 2 stage trigger you are essentially breaking the shot twice. First, you gently take up the first stage until you are at the wall, then you press through to fire. Two separate actions that each take time.
My thought is that in PRS, where there is a time factor, a single stage will be faster because you are only going through that cycle once.
That's my logic.
With that said, I have always felt that it is good to start by mimicking the set up of those who are experts in the field. More times than not if something doesn't seem to make sense the sense becomes apparent as I get familiarity.
So . . what are "The Pros Using". I can't seem to find anything on this within the last 2 or 3 years.
Also, is the TriggerTech still what people want? The Timney with the adjustable shoe looks interesting. Thoughts?
Thank you all.
