You’re shopping for a 6.5 Creed barrel?
Duuuuuude. Those must be some SERIOUSLY good pain meds, man.
No!! It was just the first barrel to pop up as an example. I hate the CM. But, people just keep giving them to me!!! It’s a conspiracy!!
Well you keep killing stuff dead with them sooooooooo, there is that

I finally tested both triggers on the two Sig Cross Rifles. The .308 Win Cross measured 3.4 lbs factory set two stage. The new .243 Win Trax measured 2.4 lbs factory two stage.
I adjusted them both down to 1.4 lbs and an interesting thing happened.
Though becoming lighter in pull, lessening the weight eliminated the two stage style of pull. Remaining was a long take up and eventual break at a totaled 1.4 lbs.
While light, I don’t like the long pull.
Thoughts?
Heavier two stage or longer/lighter single stage?

Disregard!! With meticulous tuning……..I was able to find the point of no return.
Both triggers are now adjusted to 1.8 lbs two-stage trigger. With a definitive wall. Minding a gentile touch with the trigger finger. If you manhandle it, you will pull through the wall. If you do what you are supposed to do with a bolt gun trigger, the wall is obvious and easily held. Then, just a breath more and it breaks.
I can live with a 1.8 lb two stage on a hunting rifle. From yotes and varmints to deer and pigs. I’m a happy camper. Just need to shoot the .243 Win yet.

Glad you got it figured out. The little long trigger pull with no wall would have driven me nuts!

You asking for advice on a trigger is like Rosie O'Donnell asking how to be a fat slob!

Rosie knows you.
She said your a trigger snob and you like to know exactly what you have.
In this case it's a heavier 2 stage.
