in my .416 barrett l AR upper?
I know this is the 50 forum but i thought you guys would be better to ask.
Is the Rock River Arms 2 stage good.
I have a timney drop in trigger in one of my other 5.56 ARs and def dont want a trigger that light in my .416.
Thanks

I've got a Jard AR trigger in the lower that's dedicated to my ALS 50 BMG upper.  It's a sweet little trigger with a heavier hammer spring to put more firing pin energy into the 50 BMG primers.  Your 416 will also be using 50 BMG primers.  You might look into a Jard trigger.  www.50bmg.net sells the Jards with a heavier hammer spring setup specifically for use with a 50.

Actually, I really like a light trigger in a 50.  I'm running about 2-3 pounds on my State Arms.  A 50 or 416 can be safe with a light trigger because you don't load it til you are ready to shoot anyway.  Not like you're toting the gun around in the woods ready to snap shoot a deer that jumps out of its bed.  I'd suggest no heavier than 4 lb trigger for most applications with a 50 BMG or a 416 Barrett.

the rock river is a good trigger
i think its at 8lbs
i have one set up for my 50 cal upper
the reason i went with the rock river trigger is so i can use a heavey hammer spring for the bmg primers

it was in my 223 and it is great compared to a stock combat trigger
i shift that one over and put a timney in the 223 lower
the timney is also very nice its a single stage at 3.5 lbs i think

Wouldn't a single be better for a single shot gun? What would be the advantage of a 2 stage if any in a single shot?

I guess it all depends upon what you want your rifle to do.  There are more match-grade two stage triggers out there than single stage.  I personally believe anything heavier than 4 pounds inhibits long range accuracy because you are wiggling the gun too much squeezing the trigger.

If you are interested in long-range accuracy, go with a lighter trigger, be it single stage or two-stage.  If you are not interested in long range accuracy, why buy a 416 Barrett or 50 BMG?  Not a very efficient rifle to pack around the woods and snap shoot Deer, Elk, or Grizzlies with...

But that's just me.

it all depends on how you like your trigger to feel
has nothing to do with being a semi, single shot bolt or automatic
its best described when you have 1 of each side by side
the 2 stag is hard and then gets softer (more travel also)
the single stage is very quick to let go
