I got my Midas today in the mail. The trigger was delivered in a very nicely embossed tin. Installation was very straight forward and no surprises as far as that was concerned.
My goal with my Tikka build is to get as close in feel to a Sako TRG 22 as I could for as little money as possible. KRG was naturally the vendor to look to for this project. First was a KRG Bravo chassis to emulate the TRG stock and chassis. Next was a Sterk bolt shroud in TRG style. Now finally, a KRG Midas 2 stage trigger to complete the project.
My impression of the Midas trigger so far (30 mins) is that it is definitely an improvement over the factory single stage and the Tac A1 2 stage. I finger banged a Tac A1 at the gun shop and was not very impressed, sure it was a 2 stage, but it was not particularly clean and crisp. Bear in mind I'm comparing everything to a post 2013 TRG 22. I still think the TRG 22 has the better trigger though I am not certain what it is that makes it feel better. I notice that the bolt on the T3 turns downward when the firing pin is released and I'm not sure if that is what I'm feeling through the trigger. The TRG just feels more solid and even though there is overtravel in the TRG trigger, it still seems to feel more definite and crisp. The bolt hardly moves when the firing pin moves forward which is why I think the bolt design on the T3 has something to do with the feel. There is practically no overtravel in the Midas. I look forward to actually shooting this trigger and see if it improves my shooting. My only wish is there be an adjustable trigger shoe that adjusts in multiple axis like the TRG and have a plastic finger piece to make cold weather shooting a tad more comfortable. Not really a complaint so much as I'm really trying to get as close to a TRG as possible. Overall, I really like the new trigger. I'd like to compare to a Timney trigger someday.
