Quick Answer
Hunters often favor trigger types that provide a smooth, consistent break and minimal creep, such as those with a 2-3 pound pull weight and a reset time of 1/4 inch or less.
Trigger Types for Optics
When it comes to using optics while hunting, a good trigger is essential for a smooth and accurate shot. Many hunters opt for triggers with a reset time of 1/4 inch or less, as this allows for quick follow-up shots. A trigger pull weight of 2-3 pounds is also preferred, as it provides enough power to ignite the primer without being too heavy.
Trigger Upgrade Considerations
When deciding on a trigger upgrade, hunters should consider the type of hunting they will be doing. For example, those hunting small game may prefer a lighter trigger pull weight, while those hunting larger game may prefer a heavier trigger pull weight. Additionally, hunters should consider the type of firearm they are using and the type of optics they will be pairing with the trigger.
Trigger Upgrade Techniques
To upgrade a trigger, hunters can consider replacing the factory trigger with a aftermarket trigger or installing a trigger adjustment kit. When installing a new trigger, hunters should make sure to follow proper installation procedures to ensure the trigger is properly aligned and set. This may involve adjusting the trigger’s overtravel and reset time to optimize performance.
