Too stiff of a trigger, and you may input too much and pull your shots.

Too little, and you might fire before you are fully ready.

Everyone has a sweet spot, and that comes with training and experience to get that feel.

LaRue MBT-2S trigger installed in SAINT Edge ATC rifle

The ATC comes from the factory with a LaRue two-stage, straight-bow trigger.

That trigger, the MBT-2S trigger, is truly a delight for the shooter.

The MBT-2S is CNC-machined out of S7 tool steel for strength and durability.

LaRue Tactical also makes the MBT trigger in a single-stage version as well as curved variants.

first stage take-up and a 2-lb.

second stage break, its very easy to prep and then break your shot once ready.

Man testing the LaRue Tactical MBT-2S trigger

After many days on the range, Ive come to prefer a two-stage trigger.

In my mind, it helps me prepare for the shot twice.

With a single-stage trigger, I find myself having a harder time achieving top-level accuracy.

I also appreciate the flat face of the trigger, as opposed to a curve.

The result is faster and more intuitive shots.

The design is also unique and utilitarian.

There is no waste of materials, while also creating an attractive-looking trigger.

Getting behind my rifle and setting the reticle on the bullseye, I take up the 2.5-lb.

first stage and prepare my mind to input as little of myself as possible into the rifle.

The shot cracks off and the impact is within the ring, but low left.

The scope was a bit off, but we are looking at groups, not optics.

I reset the trigger, positive and satisfying, and it jumps forward.

I take a deep breath and repeat the process a second and then a third time.

I tell my spotter not to let me know the group size so I wont be distracted.

I shoot my groups at 100 yards on 10X.

This allows a good level of detail on the target without getting the reticle bouncing from high magnification.

I do attribute a lot of the ease of achieving those groups to the LaRue MBT-2S trigger.

It makes interfacing with the rifle easy and natural, while also making it fun.
