Do you think that this is a good idea to help my accuracy? I know semi-auto rimfires are not the best accuracy wise, but I know I think I can make this one better.
I am in no means a marksman expert, I just started getting into shooting in January.
I have personally experienced much better accuracy from the 2 stage though (I know that the AR shooting .223 is also helping in that department, but I can feel and see myself keeping my irons on the target better when the 2-stage breaks).
I think this is just because the way the 2-stage is designed. With a single stage, there is a certain amount of travel (known as creep) before the hammer breaks free and hits the firing pin. With the 2-stage, the creep isn't necessarily gone, per se, but you pull the trigger back until you feel it stop (1st stage), and then you know that if you pull the trigger any further back the hammer will break (2nd stage). This is what I like because it allows me to know exactly when the hammer will strike, whereas in a single stage there is no exact way to tell when the trigger will break (except with tons of practice and knowing your rifle better than I do I suppose).
When researching what type of trigger to use in my custom built AR15, I found a lot of articles detailing the difference between the single and 2 stage triggers, and which people preferred. I found that it was actually split pretty down the middle. It all comes to preference. This is why Hobie1 prefers his modified mil-spec trigger to the RRA. He's definitely not wrong (in fact, I am sure he knows more and is a better shooter than I), but I prefer the 2-stage to the mil-spec.
I would say spend the time and $15 on the lighter trigger springs and polishing the sear. If you still aren't happy with your trigger, try a 2-stage. That is exactly what I did, and I think I found what trigger works best
for me.
