    Lets not forget that I also believe the triggers on the BSA Superstar are better feeling than the HW's (now you know I'm on something), they just seemed to have a more crisper break, I think it might actually be the trigger blade's themselves, the BSA's seems broader and the AA's is a bit more set back and just seems to feel better, may be it's the finger positioning which does it for me, it doesn't always have to be mechanically better to feel an improvement, it may be the same sort of thing when people fit a set back trigger on a HW, it's the same mechanism but it's just nicer to use, an improvement so to speak.

    Gun fit is such a personal thing and different things will suit different people.

    As mentioned on one of my earlier posts, the TX trigger, TO ME, feels so much less natural and you have to give it lots of conscious attention and, as up above, it must be the blade to grip relationship or pivot point. It takes me a fair few shots to "get into" it at each session. It does break cleanly.

    Never had to give the Rekord a moment's thought.

    I've had a few brief shots with the Superstar and I did like its trigger.

    The trigger on Mick's TX (T20) is utterly lovely, but he did fit a different blade to it.

    Then you need to adjust the HW properly as it's not the same mechanism, big problem with the CD trigger is you cannot adjust the second stage independently, as it relies on the balance of both screws, if you adjust one out you adjust one in!

    On the Rekord the first sear is split allowing you to set the length of pull of the first stage then adjust the second stage let off separately without affecting first stage, for me this is important as it gives me exactly the feel I want, the CD is a compromise between the two, the CD is good but it's not as tuneable as the Rekord!

    So what you're saying is that the CD trigger isn't the same as the Rekord, so means it's not a copy as we often get kindly reminded

    Luckily for me my trigger on my Prosport is superb and I'm also lucky enough to be Weihrauch free

    Can't remember what the trigger on my '95k' was like but I can say I don't ever remember taking any real notice of the trigger on my 'TXhc' which is sorta the point really, only thing I had to do to it when I first got the rifle was to clean all the gunk out of it other than that it does what it does which says it all for me !...

    No it's not the same its another internet myth, on the CD the trigger has two grub screws for first and second stages which act upon the first sear which is a single piece item, on the Rekord the first stage is set by a tab and the second stage is an adjuster which pivots the inner section of the split first sear, this allows you to set the let off point independently of the first stage so both can be tailored to your requirements!

    The top sear which holds the piston latch is similar except for the CD has a recess for the different latch rod!

    The CD is a good trigger , as good as the Webley Longbow one, but the Rekord is a more tuneable design.

    I have had both AA and HW, I sold my Prosport for a TX200, I don't have a preference for either, they are both flawed but respond superbly to being properly modified!

    This post shows the Rekord, and CD so you can see the differences-- http://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/...topic=77401.20
