It's such a personal choice thing. I've tried a few that I quite like, Bix & Andy, Timney Calvin Elite, Huber and have been considering swapping over to one of them. I currently run Trigger Tech Specials in 2 (soon to be 3) rifles though and quite like a relatively low pull weight (around 1.25lbs) single stage. I think at the end of the day, you can really get used to any good trigger. Which 2-stages are you considering?

The rifles I am currently using all have the "accutrigger" style of safety tab so I guess in a round about way, I am using a 2 stage trigger of sorts.. and quite like it. Certainly a personal taste thing, but I like to make contact with the trigger and "take up" that tab before applying pressure on the actual trigger. Yes, the take up is a few ounces but it gets me on the trigger without risk of setting the rifle off when I don't want to.
Maybe it helps me focus on the trigger control... maybe it helps my finger "preload" so I can break when I want... regardless, it is a joy to use.
But I have also used single stage triggers for decades to good effect. The key is what you like AND can break properly on target.... while excited with elevated adrenaline/heart rate during a match.
The lightest pull weight can actually be a negative in positional shooting. I think the most difficult trigger to use for unsteady shooting would be a super light pull with zero creep.
The Timney Calvin Elites have garnered a solid reputation and will work well... as will other options. As long as the trigger breaks in a predictable manner, with a light "enough" pull, it can work very well.
Let me know if I can help.
Thanks

There are plenty of options for quality single and 2 stage triggers on the market, both are common in the PRS scene. I would simply recommend picking one type and using only it. I use Cadex 2 stage triggers on all my rifles, I feel the commonality between rifles is a huge upside. The trigger is one of the most, if not the most important control we have over the firing process. Having the same trigger in all your rifles just seems logical to me.
I only shoot 2 stages but I could probably use a single if I got use to it.
I have shot TRGs, AIs, Timney 2 Stage, and a CG22 Extreme.
The TRG is a nice unit and the AI is great as well. However, the CG22 is my favourite.
XTSP (maker of the CG22) also makes triggers for the US Army and is the only company that AI entrusted to make the new AI competition trigger.

Yeah, I'm of the same opinion. Only problem is as you start accumulating rifles, the cost of switching to something different gets so much higher, haha. I've got a couple new rifles inbounds and I'm debating running 3 with my tried and true TT Special and trying something (or a couple somethings) in the 4th rifle. I really liked the Huber I tried on my buddy's rifle and I picked up a cert for a good discount on one.
