[QUOTE="kraig, post: 1612999, member: 108101"] One advantage of some aftermarket triggers is what they are made out of. For instance TriggerTech is made from all stainless and aluminum. Don't have to worry as much about getting that wet AND the trigger tech only uses one hex wrench for the weight adjustment. How they are built you simply don't have to worry about creep at all. I started off doing my own trigger jobs until I got good at it and if you can get the lighter springs at erniethegunsmith dot com or the such you end up with a nice trigger, go with a timney, shilen, or several of the other brands and you have even a nicer trigger, go with a triggertech and you have what I'd consider the best. Many of the PRS shooters are switching over to them from other high end triggers and that says a lot. I'm in the process of switching all of my guns over to use the same trigger I like it so much (and I like a consistent pull regardless of what rifle I pull out) Most of my guns run a two pound trigger except for long range rigs, those typically run 14-16oz. triggertech.com/collections/bolt-action if you want more info on them. I run the special with a flat trigger so I can get down to 14oz. I have one diamond but that doesn't have a bolt release but for bench shooting it is awesome. I think most people would be happy with the primary at 1.5 pounds - 4 pounds and they all break exactly the same. Good luck in your trigger quest...it has taken me 10 years and almost as many triggers to get to be a trigger snob but I like what I like and I haven't had anyone shoot one that didn't like it too. :-) [/QUOTE]
