Looking for a .223 factory bolt gun with a (good) 2 stage trigger...

Price point ~$1000.00
Adjustable 1st and 2nd stage.

I have found a couple:

WEATHERBY VANGUARD® SYNTHETIC (reports on the trigger is not good).

Anschutz (too expensive).

Any ideas?
 
Isn't the Savage Accu-trigger a 2-stage trigger of sorts?

FWIW, Huber makes a 2-stage trigger for the Rem700 & it's clones. Pricey, but from what I've read, a very good trigger.
 
Tikka. Just get a Tikka in what ever barrel length or contour that you desire. Add the trigger that you want. Then shoot little groups and be happy.
 
Ruger Mk 77 Target II

It has a two stage trigger, retail is about $1100 I believe, but you should be able to get one in 223 for your mark of $1000 or even a bit less if you shop around.
 
I really do not see the interest or need for an adjustable two stage trigger. Passing up a CZ527, with its adjustable and single set trigger is just showing lack of experince. As far as the ruger goes, it will be a truely exceptional ruger to out shoot a CZ. And with rugers quality control as of late, getting anything other than a mediocre rifle, compared to a CZ, will be the exception to the rule

I don't pretend to know much about target triggers, but I can adjust my CZ's trigger down to a mouse click if I was so inclined. No takeup or overtravel and has the set feature to boot.

No, Ruger triggers are sear-override single stage triggers.
Neither of those have 2-stage triggers.

Sounds like there is confusion about what a two-stage trigger is. A two-stage trigger has a take-up stage, then the trigger begins to act on the sear. Think of old military rifles like a Mauser or Springfield or Enfield or Mosin-Nagant, etc, etc. That is a two-stage trigger: the sear does mnot move until the first stage is full compressed and then pressure is applied to the sear itself. Most factory triggers in bolt action rifles these days are single-stage triggers. Many ARs and AKs have two-stage triggers.

Yes, the Huber is a very nice two-stage trigger. Carbide pivots and all, very nice, and actually a two-stage trigger.
 
Scorch - you are absolutely incorrect about the Rugers by the terms of your own definition. If you go to Ruger's site and look up the M77 Hawkeye Target II as well as the Hawkeye Predators, you don't have to look very hard to find this statement...

"UNIQUE TWO STAGE TARGET TRIGGER featuring a short take up stage, followed by a crisp, light target pull with no creep or overtravel."

I can personally vouch for the validity of Ruger's statement, as I have the Hawkeye Predator FTW, have shot it, and it is indeed a true two-stage trigger.

BTW Roashooter, I guess I have an exceptional Ruger, I'll put it up against a CZ...(which doesn't mean I don't like CZs) :)
 
Don't you just love the folks who are so brand loyal they must wave their flag even at another's expense? My Ruger Scout has a nice crisp trigger and the accuracy meets my needs..but that trigger is a single stage and does not meet the OP's needs.
 
Savage has the best trigger. You can adjust then to what you like. I like a 3 Lb pull for target shooting and a 4 Lb for hunting.
