That I understand, about 'minute of angle' and NRA High Power competition rankings.

I just didn't understand what a '1903-A03' was, and why it takes him six seconds to get past his 'creepy' trigger. The '03s I've seen have just a bit of 'take-up' and no creep. 'Trigger creep' and 'take-up' are two separate things. Creep is bad, take-up is fine.

I work with rifles all the time. Most are bolt action rifles. I know a dozen people who could pull this off with no additional practice. To be blunt about it a person who knows how to shoot and with younger eyes that focus more quickly than my old eyes should have little problem. Us older folks would be slowed down a touch as our eyes came into focus.
From a rest with one round hot in the chamber I can put three rounds inside of 2 inches at a hundred yards in 8 seconds. It simply is not that hard for anyone who has done a lot of shooting.
I believe that there was probably a second shooter but that belief is not based upon the rate of fire. No one would have set this up unless all three bullets would be matched to the same rifle.

I just checked mine from the Civilian Marksmanship Program. It has a light first stage, a slightly heavier creep and then stops on an even heavier release. It’s pretty bad but not something I want to spend the time on. It’s still in the cosmoline.
I prefer a two stage trigger for target rifles and my son hates them for some reason.

One of the Carcano website mention a seven pound trigger that’s crisp and the owner was very pleased with it. Funny how all the other website owners like the little rifle. They don’t seem to have mechanical difficulties, hit what they are aiming at and are overall pleased with their experiences.
