Wasn't looking for arguments on whats better and why since everyone is different. But I was curious what majority of people are running and at what weight for both centerfire and rimfire, thanks!
trigger weight for prs/nrl match
- Thread starter ohhowtheturntables
- Start date
I'm kind of surprised by the results so far. I run mine at 12 oz, but I was expecting to see more people running around that 4-8 oz range.
Rimfire for PRS. Adjusted the factory trigger down to 2.5lbs or so from original setting. I could get it lighter with changing springs and what, but I don't really mind it where it is. Plus, if it's being tossed onto different barricades/props I don't need something at a few ounces going off when it's not supposed to.
It gets fairly hard to marry your finger to trigger when that light. If you set a single stage light enough you can have an ND just from breathing too deeply.
Not everyone, but a lot who run triggers that light.....you'll see them hovering their finger off the trigger and then slapping it. Even some very high placing shooters from time to time. It might work with very heavy rifles, but it won't work with others and in general is just a bad habit.
BnA TacSport Pro. 100g/3.5z min pull weight
I can sit on a prop all day with an NRL Hunter gun in nasty CO/WY winds, finger on the shoe. same gun that sees actual hunting.
pick up a buddies AR with an SD3G i think the damn thing is on safe. idfk how people deal with such heavy weight

I actually just went back to a 2-stage trigger (Bixn' Andy Tac Sport Pro X). I have the first stage set to ~4 oz and the second to ~6 oz. I find that I take a bit more time (which I should for me) getting to that first stage wall and I seem to be breaking better shots. For me, the key is bringing the trigger straight back and holding for about 1 sec after I've broken the shot.
We shoot 2.5 to 3 ounce triggers with no safety in single shot IHMSA handguns. Basically you do not, not put your finger on the trigger until you want the gun to go boom.
Still, with 39 or 40 targets down and only one to go, the trigger pull on that last shot weighs somewhere in the neighbor hood of two (2) tons and the displacement of the USS Gerald Ford.
My trigger is supposed to be right at 15 ounces. My other rifle uses the TT Special at 1lb, 8 oz. The Diamond at 15 oz as opposed to the special at 1 1/2 pounds does make a difference for keeping the rifle on target when shooting off very unstable barricades/pipe.
(Me at a younger, fatter age shooting creedmoor with an XP-100 in 7TCU. Younger, I used to be good shooting many 40x40’s with that handgun.)

In cold temps like our -6 at last weekend's match I wear thin gloves. So I've always used a heavier weight than most...I'm right at a pound now but had been using 20oz previously.
