    What is the advantage of this trigger vs the original Ruger trigger?

      @predrag djuric When you overspend on something, you subconsciously believe that that thing was worth it, as a coping mechanism. This can sometimes happen before someone purchases the item. Strange, but true.

    I have been shooting savages , Rem.700's, and Ruger Mark xx and am currently in my 6oth year of shooting/hunting. The stock trigger on my RA Predator Gen ii was mediocre at best. Creepiest trigger I have ever owned. Having advanced COPD, I can't hold my breath much when squeezing off a shot like when I was young. I admit I am also a little Shakey at 72 yo.

    I ordered this trigger with a 2–4-pound trigger pull and had it set at 2 pounds.

    No Creep! No overtravel! Trigger is like glass and my groups are at least 60% better.

    So, for those of you that want to degrade the trigger or think that buying one is overspent money or a coping mechanism, wait tell you reach my condition and age and then make your judgments based on what you can afford, hold, and shoot.

    By the way, My AR's all have Trigger tech triggers set at less than a pound. Everything resets properly and won't go bang if bumped.

    Most guns in recent years need something to make them magic and that might also include a Magician.
