The question says it all. Is the trigger on the Weatherby Vanguard a good one, or should I get a Savage with accutrigger instead.
Any other lower priced rifles that have good triggers, or are known for being easy to replace the trigger or get it working great?
Anyone still putting in two stage triggers?
I have a Winchester Model 52 in 22LR with a two stage trigger, and while I am not set on a two stage trigger, that thing is so wonderful compared to my stock Ruger 10/22 that I think I will regret not spending a bit more for a fine trigger on my next rifle.
I am looking at getting a 223 bolt gun, but NOT a dedicated varminter gun. It will be more of a light, fun shooting rifle for long range pesky cans, zapping the occasional pest squirrel, and maybe some long range varminting work, but not a ton.
CZ triggers, they any good? Both the Lux and the American are interesting, but I am often tempted by the lower priced guns.
about the only name in triggers I know is Timney. I stopped by their sight and saw this
http://www.timneytriggers.com/sunshop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=44 $100 for a trigger that works with the Stevens 200. The stevens 200 I have alway been told was simply a Savage without the accutrigger (of course, there are also savages without the accutrigger, and they are priced higher than the Stevens) so I am wondering how much of a gun I'd have if I got a Stevens and a Timney trigger vs say a Weatherby Synthetic vanguard 399 and a Timney Trigger ($110)http://www.timneytriggers.com/sunshop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=18
The two rifles that are the least expensive are

will a $400 rifle + $100 trigger (+$50 for a gunsmith to put it in) end up superior to a $500-550 rifle?
I am planning on topping it with a bushnell 3200 elite 2-7x scope with a 32mm lense, as I like a light little scope on a light little gun, and like the scope to be set low on the gun (that's where a 32 comes in handy) but a bushnell 3200 elite in 3-9x with a 40mm is temtping too.
Either way, I am not putting on a mondo big varminter scope, nor will I be getting a rifle with a heavy varminter barrel.
