What I am finding really useful for accurate shooting, is my Mauser M03's set trigger. I use it now way too much. It is extremely light. Head shooting rabbits many days a week at the moment, provides a lot of good accuracy practice. Except it is often made harder when sitting on my quad bike with my dog leaning on my back and making it so much harder! Doubles or triples the variations on the reticle. Then shoot the rabbits, often thinking I missed because it runs away. Then find a tiny little baby rabbit torn apart on the ground. Thought is was bigger than that ...Shot a few does with the .222 in the brain last week for meat. Again used the set trigger a couple of times, again let one round off too early I thought, but perfect brain shot. The danger of these super light triggers is they can go off unexpectedly when aiming if one is not careful.
I have a little CZ in .204 with a set trigger..it does take a little to get use too..everyone who shoots it for the first time shoots before they intend too. Even after I warn them repeatedly that it is incredibly light compared to a normal trigger pull..but really like them for longer shots and with that light recoiling caliber can watch the hits normally through the scope..really puts the hammer down on prairie dogs ..blows them in half at times depending on the hit..does well on coyotes as well..but have to really watch the wind with that light caliber..
