Took my MSR 10 Hunter to the range today for the first time. Sighted in scope and was very pleased with the rifle, but I am wondering how long does it take for the trigger to smooth out. Seems very gritty for a 2 stage nickle boron coating. Has anyone heard of aftermarket triggers yet?
thanks for reading.

I believe the Hunter version only has a single-stage, USGI-style trigger with NiB coating.
The MSR 10 Long Range specifically mentions including a 2-stage trigger.
I put mine in the trash.
I run this one.

I would think any standard "AR" style trigger should work, including the drop in ones.
I have a velocity trigger in my DPMS G2, a timney two stage targa in a heavy barrel AR15, and a geissele two stage in a short barrel AR. I got the timney on clearance "blem" from midway (couldn't find any issues) for a really good deal, got the geissele on sale/clearance from DPMS for a good deal, and paid retail for the velocity.
If I had to pay retail for the timney or geissele, I probably would have just got another velocity. It is really nice trigger for the price.
Waited 6 weeks for a LaRue MBT 2S. Gave it a test drive Sunday and much improved over the factory trigger and that was with some local reload ammo. I will start working on a handload using Sierra 168gr. HPBT.
Thanks LaRue.
Alleycat72, I'm thinking of buying a MSR10 Hunter and am thinking of this trigger. Did you install it in a MSR10 Hunter? Is it a drop in fit?Quote:

+1 for the LaRue MBT....I have 2 of them and LOVE them. And at $87 they are a steal...
With everyone complaining about the trigger in their MSR10 Hunter I just have to wonder if someone at Savage snuck the 2-stage trigger into the one I got for review because everyone who tried it was shocked how good it was - including Fred. Pull was right at 3 or 3.5-lbs and crisp as could be with just the slightest hint of over travel and a fairly short reset. Not 3-gun short, but nowhere near as long as a mil-spec reset.
Have a Geissle 2-stage in my heavy AR15 and a RRA National Match in my M&P15-TS and the MSR10 Hunter trigger was every bit as good as either of them are. Side note - I won't be buying a Geissle ever again. Way over priced. The RRA NM is 1/3 the price of the one I got and I actually like it better.
Thanks for the input. I guess I'll have to wait until I get the gun to determine if I need another trigger.Quote:

Sure will, they're all standard AR15 trigger pattern.
Thank you for your response.Quote:
