16 ZERO TAKE-UP Take-up is the distance the trigger piece travels prior to the sear moving toward release and the shooter feeling resistance. The M.O.A. Trigger System ™ uses a spring to eliminate take-up by keeping the trigger piece in constant contact with the actuator. Unlike many competitors’ designs, the unique geometry of the M.O.A. pre-loads the entire trigger system to bias out normal manufacturing tolerances. ZERO CREEP Creep is the perceptible movement of the trigger prior to the release of the firing pin and has a negative influence on accuracy, causing inconsistency and uncertainty during the pull of the trigger. Creep contributes to jerking the trigger, thus adding to movement of the gun during firing. The 2:1 mechanical advantage created by this unique design geometry has virtually eliminated creep in the XPR ® rifle’s M.O.A. trigger. ZERO OVERTRAVEL Overtravel is the rearward movement of the trigger after the firing pin has been released. It can actually jar the gun away from its intended point of aim and is very distracting to the shooter. The Trigger System is set at the factory for a crisp break at about 3 1/2 pounds with no perceptible overtravel. When the sear drops, the trigger stops. Point of aim is point of impact.

Trigger System ™ featured on the XPR ® rifle are constructed of polished and hardened carbon steel, many with a blued finish for added durability and corrosion resistance. The sear and actuator have a NICKEL TEFLON ™ coating for reduced friction and added wear resistance. (1) (1) M.O.A. TRIGGER SYSTEM ™ The M.O.A. Trigger System works on the simple principle of the pivoting lever. Pictured above are the trigger piece (A), actuator (B), and sear (C). (2) 2:1 MECHANICAL ADVANTAGE The trigger piece offers a wide, smooth face to better distribute finger pressure for a lighter, more sensitive feel. Because of its geometry and 2:1 mechanical advantage, the trigger piece travels only half the distance of the actuator (2X). Since this distance is cut in half, the perception of creep and overtravel is virtually eliminated. This means that the “feel” for the trigger is greatly enhanced and effective accuracy, both in the field and off the bench, is improved. (2) Every XPR ® has a TWO-POSITION SAFETY that’s convenient to operate with the thumb of the firing hand. The safety’s design fully retracts the trigger away from the actuator. Located just in front of the safety button, the BOLT RELEASE BUTTON allows the action to cycle unfired cartridges while the safety is on. The COCKING INDICATOR on the bolt shroud gives both a tactile and visual reference of the rifle’s cocked/uncocked condition. The robust XPR ® BOLT is crafted from chrome-moly steel bar stock and is through hardened during heat treatment. The bolt design offers three front locking lugs and a short 60-degree lift for improved scope clearance when cycling. The full-diameter bolt body creates a more rigid component. A NICKEL TEFLON ® coating offers smoother operation and added corrosion resistance. The one-piece bolt handle is sculpted to give a more positive grip. The bolt can be field stripped in just seconds without special tools for cleaning and lubrication.
