[QUOTE="espringers, post: 139105, member: 816"] i see the pluses and minuses to a 2 stage and a really light single stage. i guess if i am shooting on bench with everything else under my control except wind and long range accuracy is the goal, i would probably choose a light single stage over a light 2 stage from a theoretical perspective. but, i have a very tough time telling the difference in grouping and/or execution on long targets at the range. i will say i've never sat down with the same rifle under the exact same conditions with two different triggers to truly compare apples to apples though. and i'm obviously no long range military sniper. but, for regular joes in a field hunting situation, they seem like they would be a horse a piece to me and the 2 stage should in theory be safer by leading to less of those dreaded unwanted firings that might come from a single stage trigger set to .0001 lbs. too many folk set em about as light as they can get them and then trounce around in the field. seems dangerous. and i know... there are other safety precautions. like, not closing the bolt all the way until the gun is shouldered, not having your finger anywhere near the trigger until you are ready to fire, keeping the gun on safe, etc. but, since i wouldn't notice the difference from an accuracy standpoint in the field, i can't really see the harm of a 2 stage for hunting rifles. do you mind explaining the "stupid" part with a bit more detail? ;) the non marksmen like myself are interested. thanks.
