Hey guys i need some help deciding single stage trigger or two stage? I use a bi pod for targets or a bag. Might want to shoot some small game though, if I need to make a quick shot what can expect from a two stage trigger?? Thanks IBEW
My 1712 has the two stage trigger but I personally prefer a single stage. I shoot metallic silhouette and have gotten used to the two stage but there have been times where I took up the first stage, lost my concentration and pulled the second stage prematurely. That hurts your score as that is a lost shot you can't get back. For target shooting I find the two stage trigger to be a hinderance. For your use of the rifle I recommend the single stage.
I don’t believe there is any practical advantage of one over the other, unless possibly you are a bada$$ headbanging competitive long distance shooter.
They make both because people are different, try both and decide what works best for you.
I like a crisp single stage the most but have shot a lot of tiny groups with old Walther “surprise break” triggers that have lots of take up and then fire with no point at which I know they are going to fire with any further movement.

Kind of funny you mention that, I always bring one of them along when I am shooting my 50 BMG that is very much single stage.
I don’t know if I am just not “man enough” or my mind/body is too quick to make judgment on what’s best for my head but I have found I can make a little longer shooting session if I alternate between the two.
Yeah, one is going to be “crisp” and beat you up a bit but the other just fires at the same distance point in the pull with no extra effort.
I guess I really can’t explain it any more that that or it just works for me. In gun games I always preach “consistency is key” but I guess mixing things up does some good too. Might have to work more on developing that the theory(s).

Yeah, same thing for all of the heavy recoil stuff I shoot.
Another thing that works almost as well for me is to is have a buddy load the rifle and leave it empty every now and then. It’s obvious to everyone what shooter input is given when you dry fire vs live.
