It is not really part of the trigger. Don't think of it as engaging the trigger. You only touch the trigger when you touch the trigger blade. Keith, do you mean the accutrigger blade?

I shoot competivly in smallbore and service high power. I bought the rifle hoping for half MOA accuracy. I figured for the price I'd be lucky to get that. The first time I shot the rifle all holes in two round groups fired to sight in the rifle were touching. I think i might have had one group that was an eight of an inch between the holes. I was shooting in the breaks of a 20-30mph cross wind and also getting used to the trigger. The only thing I wish i could change on the rifle is the trigger. I like a very light trigger with no creep at all. The double trigger safety makes this impossible but its still a good trigger for the price. Also there's a loose fit for the magazine which sometimes doesn't load a round. Overall its a beautiful rifle with superb quarter to one third inch accuracy at a hundred yards. If your gona get one look at a few of them first till you find a darker wood stock. The groups I’m getting from this rifle are amazing. I shoot competivly in smallbore and service high power.
