I suppose the ideal gun trigger has no take-up and has a short, light pull to release the hammer. For general purposes I wouldn't want a hair trigger which would allow the gun to fire if the trigger were touched only lightly. That might be OK for competition shooting but not very safe for other purposes.
Is the ideal trigger pull on a rifle basically the same as that on a single action pistol? My best pistols so far as triggers are concerned are a Star PD .45 and a Para Ordnance 12-45. Also two Smith and Wesson .22 pistols (model 2206). All of these are single action. Of the few rifles I have, the one with the best trigger is the MAK-90, which has no take-up and a short, fairly light and short pull. My tube-loading .22 rifle has the best trigger of all, but I am putting that one aside for this discussion.
Any comments on the best rifle triggers? Do bolt actions tend to be better than semi-auto rifles? What rifles have the best triggers in your experience?
Thanks,
