Zero OverTravel. Overtravel is the rearward movement of the trigger after the firing pin or striker has been released. The 2:1 mechanical advantage created by the trigger design’s unique geometry is how creep has been virtually eliminated in the new Model 70 M.O.A. This contributes to jerking the trigger and thus adds to the movement of the firearm during firing. Creep has a negative influence on accuracy because it adds inconsistency and uncertainty during the trigger pull. Zero Creep. Creep is the perceptible movement of the trigger prior to the release of the firing pin or striker. Trigger System has no take up because the take up spring keeps the triggerpiece in constant contact with the actuator. Take up is the distance the triggerpiece travels prior to the sear moving toward release and the shooter feeling resistance. Click "Read More" below for the rest of the story. Because of the enhanced ergonomics, wide smooth triggerpiece and 2:1 mechanical advantage created by the unique design geometry, it actually feels like half that weight. The pull weight ranges from 3 to 5 pounds and is factory-set at 3 3/4 pounds. Operating on a simple pivoting lever principle, the trigger mechanism has been completely redesigned to exhibit zero take up, zero creep and zero overtravel. Trigger System is the most precise three-lever trigger system in the world. With the Triple Zero Advantage.The Model 70’s new M.O.A.
