[QUOTE="biednick, post: 2810752, member: 123604"] For a precision rifle I'd much rather have a 2 stage trigger. It's easier for me to tell when a 2 stage is going to break than a single stage, and taking up the first stage gives me a final mental step in my shot process. On a semi auto I get better splits with a single stage, so for a run-and-gun situation I'd take a single stage. If I had to choose 1 for all my guns it'd be 2 stage. I'm only slightly faster with a single stage and do more precision shooting. I don't differentiate weight based on range/hunting. If a few ounces on the trigger causes a safety problem you've already royally messed up and it's sheer luck that the heavier trigger saved you. I value the consistency of setting all my triggers the same. All my bolt guns have Triggertech Specials set as low as I can get them. They're specced at 8/8oz, but based in my measurement they're more like 6/6. That said I mostly hunt with handguns that have single stage triggers. My revolvers are all right at 2lb, and my single shot is a hair over 1lb. If I could get a 2 stage, 6/6oz trigger on the single shot I'd do it in a heartbeat. [/QUOTE]
