I never thought about the distance ot the trigger. My son has been shooting my CZ 527 American in .223 since he was 11 or 12. My lightweight American is so accurate it amazes folks. 1/4 to half-inch 3-shot groups are common and I don't think I've found a load yet that groups over an inch. It outshoots my heavy prairie dog guns. This in a package that weighs about as much as full-size .22 rimfire. I know that barrel weight and balance are important to small shooters - just look at a little kid leaning way back to off-set the weight of a heavy barrel and think about how recoil is going to be felt. It's another reason my little CZ American has been great for kids and ladies.
