Hello everyone.
I am in the process of ordering pieces for a new hunting rifle. (please note: Hunting not Hunter) I have a specific question on which trigger design.
I am set on the Calvin Elite - Timney trigger. I am deciding on the straight vs curved trigger. I have never shot the straight trigger - but it looks pretty cool. Any opinions on the straight vs the curved versions for a hunting rifle?

Thanks in advance for any replies.

i have a calvin and i like it.
it is on a field gun, curved.
 
I'm thinkin'....what functional difference would there be in either trigger? I'm also thinkin' you need to get whichever trigger you want.
 
My thinking.... the straight trigger on a hunting gun would give a little more room in the trigger guard if you were wearing a light glove.
 
For me, it would depend on what the likely hunting temp’s will be. I would want the curved trigger for cold weather when my trigger finger might be a little less sensitive. The curved trigger would provide more surface contact area than a straight trigger and therefore more feeling to a cold finger. For warm weather hunting such as prairie dog shooting, I think the straight trigger would be fine.

This is a very interesting topic. Trigger is a big factor specially when you are hunting. I did some research about this and I found a good source of information. You can check this out: https://gunnewsdaily.com/best-ar-15-trigger/.

I also have this reference from reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/ar15/comments/761glw/curved_vs_straight_trigger/

I hope it helps. :)

Hi George. It will be high 20's tomorrow. Then, it's into the deep freeze for next week with daily highs from 0 to -8 degrees below zero and night time lows from -15 to -20 below zero. Looks like it might get into the 20's again next weekend, though.

Likely have to chop ice in the mornings to get water for coffee. ;) -Al

ya needs to work on installing indoor plumbing!! It's pretty convenient.
 
I appreciate all the feedback and resources. Thank you! Mr. Nyhus has never steered me wrong over the million questions I have asked him so - I'm going curved. Thanks again for all the responses.
Hope you packed another layer of that Missouri River mud on your mudbrick house - you're going to need it.
 
Straight or Curved trigger shoe is your choice-
BUT
Purchase a Trigger Tech trigger group instead of any Timney configuration.

(You'll thank me later)
