i was wondering if anyone can explain the pro/con  of 1 and 2 stage triggers.  I have never used a two stage trigger.  I am looking for an upgrade to my stock bushy trigger, which i dislike.  This is a range/ personal defense carbine and want to improve the overall preformance.  Also considering h-buffer.  Any help or suggestions would be very appreciated.  I want a better rifle but don't want to sacrafice reliability.  I have never had one issue,  ie: FTF, FTE., etc.  running it stock w/ about 2500 rounds through it.  

Single stage trigger is what you have now. It may not be a good one. I like JP and accuracy speaks. Some are saying good things about Mc drop in.

A good single stage trigger should have no takeup, [free trave], should break cleanly without felt creep, and little overtravel, and short reset.

A 2 stage will have first stage that you pull through, then a distinct point where pressure increases, then breaks. It is very good for bench rest shooting and takes more training than single stage.

I want all my guns triggers to feel the same so I like 3lb single stage on my pistols, shotguns, and rifles.

Action shooting is usually single stage, you don't have time to prep the trigger.

Thanks for the info.  It was exactly what i was looking for.
