Trigger Experts ?????

The Anschutz 5018 is arguably one of the better triggers in current production.

Have you shot a 2 stage? Can you get used to it? The good news is the 5018 can be adjusted so that it is a single stage. I prefer 2 stage at less than 2 oz let off. Be aware that a very good single stage trigger will be about half the cost of a 5018.

If the Remington adapter does not change its dynamics it would be my first choice on an action that accepts the 700 trigger. I have no experience to tell you if the if is a factor. You did not say which action you are using.

I would have no hesitation were the action to accept the 5018 without the adapter, and that would influence my choice of actions. My opinion of course, and its worth what you paid for it. bob finger
 
Are you shooting benchrest or position? I don't see any advantage of a two stage trigger for benchrest and in fact think it is a detriment. Get a Jewell trigger and be done.

Ken: What experience have you had that leads you to feel a 2 stage is detrimental to br? I tend to shoot better scores with my 5018 than with my K Kenyon 2 oz single stage. I always thought both guns were equally accurate, but there are many variables. Curious minds want to learn. Thanks. bob finger
 
whatever trigger i get will be attached to a hall action, i am very familiar and used to shooting 2 stage triggers.

Anschutz triggers will not work in a Hall Action :eek:
Get a Jewell :D

Kelbley wil work with a Hall. If you know how to set 'em up they work great. If you don't know how to set 'em up, stick with the Jewell. I've had a Jewell trigger on my Hall sporter for years and it's never given any trouble. Never even cleaned it!
 
Bob,

My experience with two stage triggers is limited to position shooting. There, a 4 lb. pull is required by rule, at least for some classes. The advantage of the two stage is that most of the pull can be taken up on the first stage with maybe a pound left for the final pull when your sights are lined up. On the bench you're already lined up and are timing a condition. When I want a bullet downrange, I want it now. Pulling thru a first stage is just something else I can screw up. Just my thoughts, worth about what you paid for them.

The Anschutz 2 stage allows a zero resistance first stage takup and then a break about 2 ounces. Lots if not most switch the trigger over to a straight 2 ounce. I've had the triggers set up both ways and while I never thought it was a problem I'd hardly call it any advantage with the 2 stage, I just kind of got used to it either way.
