I am in the process of building a mid-priced accuracy build. I am now to the point of deciding on a trigger. I know my first decision is whether to go with a single stage or a two stage trigger and that is what I can't make my mind up about. I want to use the rifle to shoot targets between one hundred and three hundred yards or so (limit of my local shooting range). But I also want to be able to go out and plink with it also from time to time. I would say that my ultimate use would be 50% target shooting and 50% plinking. With this in mind, should I lean toward a single stage or a two stage trigger? If I went with a single stage trigger with a three to three and a half pound trigger pull (Timney Impact, Elf ES, Rise 434, etc.), how much loss of potential accuracy will I loose over a similar style and model two stage trigger. I can get any of these single stage triggers for between $110 and $135 while a comparable two stage trigger will run about $170 to $200 (except for the LaRue MBT-2S for $80 and it has a fantastic reputation of being a good trigger). Given these parameters, should I lean toward the single stage or two stage trigger? Second, does anyone has a recommendation of a single stage trigger under $150 and/or a two stage trigger under $200? The single stage triggers I have in mind are: Timney Impact, Elf ES, Rise 434, and Velocity 3lbs. The two stage triggers I have in mind are: LaRue MBT-2S, Timney AR Targa, Geissele, Rock River Arms National Match. I quess to sum everything up, I realize that the two stage trigger is more aimed at being a precise shooting trigger than the single stage, but I have never had a gun with a two stage trigger. How much difference is this precision between the single and two stage triggers?
