Varmint Rigs

[SA Friday]

Depends on what you are going to use it for. If you are going to try to push a bullet past a 1/4 mile, you don't want to skimp on the trigger. You can do it with a RRA two stage, but it's easier with a better trigger.

If your barrel, trigger, and sights are iffy, you are going to struggle getting accurate shots at long distance.

Rock River is good, Timney is better IMHO, also like the JP trigger a lot.

SA Friday-what's the price range on the triggers you speak of ?

[SA Friday]

Range is $150 to $300 depending on the trigger. My JP ran about $250 since I paid a gunsmith to install it instead of doing it myself. It was about $200ish for all the parts. RRA is cheaper, but not much.

Compared to a std trigger, it's wonderful. Compared to a JP single stage with a speed hammer, it's barely acceptable.

Fully agree. NM triggers are good for what they are designed for, but if you want a good trigger you need something else

JP complete kit with speed hammer or Jard adjustable + anti-rotate pins and you will have a good trigger for a long time. Jard needs more work to set up correctly, but delivers little lighter pull than JP.

If you like 2-stage trigger, get Jewell or Geissele. Jard 2-stage may be a good one also, but I have only limited experience with it (=installed ~10 pcs).

Killflash installed so the varmints dont see you...

I use a compas Lake two stage trigger that is very nice about 2.5lbs on the 2nd stage..

RRA Predator Pursuit with bead blasted barrel, Badger Tactical latch, Hogue free float tube, Magpul PRS stock, Versa-pod bipod.

Nikon Coyote Special 4.5-16x40 scope is on the way. Probably going to use a Larue mount.

Got the scope mounted today. Not sure if I like the positioning, I will have to shoot it and see if I want to try a cantilever mount.
