Two-Step Triggers on New Rifles??

I'm absolutely going to check that out, thank you! I always thought a hook-type hammer made a lot more sense than the short-throw notch. I don't like all the stress the standard design puts on the pins and the pressure it puts on the hammer/trigger, making it prone to be gritty and have a hard pull. I've seen similar designs to what you're talking about, but mostly in modular units that start at $300. All my ARs except my A2 Colt have plastic lowers, so pin-hole wear and flex in the receiver slabs contributes to a mushy feel of a "mil spec" FCG. I'm not sold on the two-stage part for an AR, but I'll try anything once.
Just make sure to get the Varmint trigger, it comes in at 3.5 lb and is a beautiful trigger. The National Match version is just as good but it is set up at 5.5 lb. I have the RRA Varmint in every AR I own, absolutely the best IMO

The Remington 783 has a "Crossfire" adjustable trigger and it's not too bad. I just couldn't resist the demo models for 169.99 so, took home a .270 win. They also had 30-06, 308 and 7mm mag's. The demos were sold as second hand even though they hadn't been fired. Prices ranged from 169.99 to 249.99 with a scope mounted. All regional demos are sold at this LGS.

I think they'll ship to your FFL.

Wow! The new rifles shoot decent, too! This is just a start load, the first group after sighting in the scope.

Thanks, should do better once the brass is formed to my chamber. Using once fired brass that I just recieved, full length sized. This load is supposed to be 2900 FPS so, will work up to 55.0 gr @ about 3300 FPS.
