Quoted: whats a good trigger for a QCB/SHTF rifle? I was looking into two stage triggers like the Giessele (sp?) but honestly have no idea which one to get. I really just want an upgrade from my bushmaster trigger.

Most people on here say the stock trigger is best for a "SHTF" gun -- i.e. a gun you bet your life on. But I wouldn't want to be stuck with an 8-10lb trigger either. The Accuracy Speaks single-stage is the only one I've heard recommended for serious use. You could also have a gunsmith work on your BM's trigger. Mine did a nice job for $65, but I probably could have done the same work for free, now that I know about the
15-minute trigger job. He modifed the springs and got to about 4 lbs, but you might not want to mess with the springs.
The conventional wisdom is that single-stage (like the stock trigger, JP, and Accuracy Speaks) are "faster" because they have shorter travel to reset and 2-stage (like RRA, Jewell, KAC, Giesselle) are for "precision" because they fool your finger into thinking they're lighter than they are. The only 2-stage I've shot is my dad's stock RRA and the stages are balanced backwards so it doesn't really feel like a 2-stage but more like a single-stage with a lot of take-up. Still lighter than the stock BM trigger he had before though.
From the High Power forum it sounds like the RRA is the best value, as long as you get one tuned by John Holliger. Others like the Gisselle, Jewell, and KAC are deemed better, but at higher cost too.
That's different than the "tuned" RRA trigger then?
This part:
an overtravel stop to eliminate almost 50% of the take up
|
must be a typo. I don't see how an
overtravel stop could affect the take-up. That would be a
pretravel stop.
