| So who on here has em? I'm talking the two stage trigger group. Are they worth the coin? |
; I detest bad triggers in my rifles
, and yes, I'd buy another.

So who on here has em? I'm talking the two stage trigger group. Are they worth the coin? I am also interested in one for my Magnum Research rifle. The trigger has a pretty high pull weight, and quite a bit of overtravel as it is the factory 10/22 trigger group. I would like to lighten it up a bit and make it more crisp and a smoother pull. |

I don't believe I would install one in a stock rifle with no other changes, I would get a trigger kit. For a full out, hard core, accurate autoloading .22 LR rifle, I would buy another one. Here's the rifle:

The stock is a Bell & Carlson, the first one I've owned, and I would buy another stock from this company in a second.
The trigger is the 3/6 two stage. Some people don't like this configuration because they think the trigger has excess slack. Scope is a 24X Weaver I had that wasn't being used on anything else. |

I had a Anschutz 1413 that I shot through college. I put a Kenyon trigger in it. The Kidd trigger in my 10/22 is the closest thing I have ever found to a Kenyon trigger. It is that good. You'd better hang onto the Kenyon trigger, they're going to be worth a fortune soon. |

Quoted:
Too heavy for a pure target rifle shot from the bench. Probably the right weight for a rifle that will be shot from position. It will be shot from a bench, from a sitting position for the bulk of the time. I do want it to be usefull for other shooting positions though. I do not hunt, so it will not be used for that, and that is why I sugested the 1lb / 2 lb instead of a heavier pull. What would you sugest? I dont want something that is able to go off with the slightest touch, I want to be able to feel it. They have the following weights available: 3oz / 6oz 7oz / 14oz 8oz / 1lb 12 oz / 1-1/2 lb 1lb / 2lb 1-1/4 lb / 2-1/2 lb I could do the 12 or 8 oz one |

This trigger is still light years from going off unexpectedly. If you want that, try a single stage 2 ounce trigger. The 3/6 trigger is a two stage with 3 ounces to move the first stage, then 6 ounces to break the shot. The first stage will feel like takeup. Every trigger break is uniform from shot to shot. I shoot my rifle offhand without issue, besides its usual use on the bench. I've shot another rifle that is identical except for the thumbhole version of the same stock, and shooting it off hand is not an issue. My current cross the course rifle has a trigger that breaks at 12 ounces, because that's as low as it will go, and I have an Anschutz running boar rifle with the trigger set to break at 13 ounces, which also as low as it will set. Both guns are used for off hand and position shooting. Call Tony Kidd or his wife to ask them about whether the trigger can be returned to set a different weight if you don't like the 3/6 trigger. I'll bet a case of beer that you'll think it's great. |

I ran the 2-stage kid for a while until they released their single stage units and hav not looked back. I detest 2-stage triggers so for me the ultra crisp, zero take-up 1.5 lb kidd single stage was just what he doc ordered. Well worth the money IMHO. I think I might go this route. My favorite trigger thus far is the single action pull on my cousins revolver. No pre-travel and it breaks at a medium to light weight, more on the light side, I would say a pound and a half to two pounds. I think that the single stage would be better to my liking. I have never been a huge fan of two stage triggers, but I figured since the KIDD was so recomended, I would go with it. I think the single stage Kidd would be my best bet. |
| I have the KID two-stage one lb./two lb. for Project "Hush Puppy" (awaiting two stamps, will post pictures in Class 3 when complete). I have never fired a finer trigger for its purpose. I can't even discern the two stages (which might mean I'm a ham-handed poor rifleman), but that trigger breaks like a glass rod, and surprises me every time it does so. Paid more for the trigger than the 10/22 Deluxe, and have no regrets whatsoever. If you like to fiddle with triggers, you may be able to replicate it for less, but I wanted plug and play. I highly recommend it, and would purchase another. |
