I have rifles with both two-stage and single-stage triggers
As do I, and I expect hundreds of thousands of other shooters.
I don't see the entire world of rifles through the lenses of PRS tinted glasses.
Nor do I, as evidenced in my multiple posts in this thread extolling that this OP likely is not best served by a “PRS rifle.”
Two stage triggers have actually made a considerable surge in popularity in PRS since the advent of the Calvin Elite 2 stage. We didn’t see the common mix of two stage triggers until the last couple of years. Not a majority stake, by any stretch, but guys are talking around 10-15% within most clubs, as opposed to what had been “near zero” previously (other than Savage/RPR type “two stage triggers” in factory rifles, of course).
The idea that a two-stage trigger is a detriment to precision is laughable.
If you can find anywhere that I claimed a two stage trigger as detrimental to precision, I’d eat my hat.
But it’s accurate to acknowledge:
1) The subjective preference of various shooters does not constitute a fundamental of marksmanship, let alone a critical fundamental which should be one of the top 6 aspects of long range marksmanship upon which this or any new shooter should be focusing.
2) Single stage triggers dominate every competitive firing line in every Precision discipline, except gas gun sports, an aspect to which I was being more generous earlier in respecting subjective parity between the two.
This is a great example of @taliv’s point above - so much individually subjective **** gets poured into threads like this that neophytes can’t tell which way is up. YOU prefer two stage triggers, but telling a newbie to focus in on a two stage trigger, as if anything is wrong with their rifle without it isn’t doing them justice. The dude just needs to grab a rifle with a suitable optic and cartridge and go shoot 1,000 yards. Wind, trigger control, and positional stability will cause 1000x more misses at 1,000yrds than any difference between single or two stage triggers.
