For a long range rig you want a trigger with no creep ( slack or set thru as you call it),in a two stage the first stage is creep.
I have never found this to be a good thing in a long range bolt gun.

Sounds like you already have your mind made up, just betting you tweak your list on your next build.


I will challenge this assessment by stating that the majority of LR competitors, be it XTC high power or Palma tend to prefer a two stage trigger in my experience. When you are actually holding the rifle in position, it is a very different shot cycle than if you are shooting off a bench. Absolutely you want a trigger with no creep, but a proper two stage doesn't have any creep. In a proper one, you take up the first stage and then break the second stage at a much lower weight, with the knowledge that you were in the process. A sub one-pound trigger gives very little feedback once your finger is on it. Having shot competition for twenty years I strongly prefer a two stage trigger, unfortunately they are much more expensive than the single stage alternatives.
