Flat vs. Curved Trigger for Bolt Action setup

[TheCanadianOne]

I figure it comes down to personal preference but has anyone noticed a difference in positioning, pull or repeatability? I've only ever shot using a curved trigger but am curious about a flat faced triggertech.

Nope.
Personal preference.

I have way too many gun's with a curved trigger to even think about trying a flat trigger. Some guy's love them, but it's not worth having a different feel when my finger is on the trigger.

I do love Trigger Tech trigger's, I have 4 of them on my custom action's.

I prefer flat. I like to put my finger down towards the bottom, and it gives a little extra leverage resulting in a lighter pull. It also feels more like a mouse click to fire vs a squeeze.

It hasn't made any measurable difference in my experience.

Like others have said, it comes down to your own personal preference. The flat triggers feel better (more natural) to me on most pistols and rifles. Do I shoot better with them - dunno, but it's one less thing that I "think" about when getting into position. Have I swapped out the curved triggers on everything I own, nope.

My suggestion is to find a pistol or rifle with a straight trigger and try it - before buying a trigger set and new springs/lighter springs, tuning kits, etc...

I'D HAVE TO SAY MORE PERSONAL PREFERENCE THAN ANYTHING ELSE

A local gunshop I visit occasionally thankfully had a flat trigger to try out but it was only on an AR. Def. was an interesting feel. My curiosity with a flat trigger was brought up after my FFL dealer offered me a Triggertech diamond flat trigger at a discount as he never got around to using it for his custom build.

I replaced my curved AR triggers for flat ones. Personal preference.

I like flat triggers. They generally feel better to my fat fingers.

They're definitely worth a try.

I ended up telling my dealer that I would go with the flat trigger he was offering
