How a shooter "feels" should mean a heck of a lot. Quite frankly on a non magnified battle type rifle with perhaps 2-3 MOA accuracy, it is very difficult to say that the USGI trigger was at fault. I am not saying that my trigger manipulation didn't suck, perhaps I rushed hand / finger placement and jerked it etc, but it really is hard to say that a heavier USGI trigger caused the issue. So yes, I can say what I said above.
Now if I am using a precision rifle, with a magnified optic at long distances, I can call shots with much more accuracy via my sight picture through the magnified scope when the shots broke and can match that with results on target. In these instances I may be able to attribute results to poor trigger manipulation and possibly relate that to a heavy trigger pull. I actually call shots all the time with any weapon. How I "feel" means everything. That's my point. There's no way to possibly know if you would have had a hit with a better trigger or not when considering all the rounds you have put down range.
A CAR stock gets you 10-15% less hits? You might need more correct repetition of training. Not the point I was making but nevermind
Has this guy been to 7 training classes? Is he even that familiar with this platform and trigger enough to come to a conclusion. Heck the OP was even rational enough to understand that his budget was tight and that perhaps he should spend his money on something more important like a good BCG or good back up irons. I don't get what is with people who suggest $200-$300 triggers to guys who are new to the platform, on a budget and perhaps his skill levels or experience are not advanced. I mean cmon fellas lets give some reasonable advice given the foundation of the questions.
As you were doing with the "x%=x% proficiency" etc., I was speaking generally and not particularly to the OP's situation and I'm sure you knew that. Question remains.
