What is the latest development in electronic triggers? I would like to make a long range XP type bolt action pistol. Thanks, Brian

etronx? something like that, from remmington was about the only commercially available trigger+primers that I am aware of.

the g11, g12 cases rifles also used a proprietary e-trigger, i expect others working on caseless ammo did the same, so that there was nothing to eject

When it comes to guns. I avoid anything with a battery. Can you imagine a once in a life time trophy and ...dead battery!

Cell phones give me all the aggravation I need

Electronic trigger and electric primer is something completely different.

There are for example .22LR competition pistols with electronic triggers made by Walther etc.

Jiri,
you are correct, and I assumed electronic to be the discharge type, rather than electro-mechanical, or "remotely" activated mechanical

Hear, hear! Illuminated scopes are in the same category, IMHO.

Tank cannons have electric triggers; very fast ignition time because they also have electric primers. Both our M68 rifled and M256 smooth bore cannons. (Which also operates at close to 100K psi, but that is another discussion.
Which is the point and issue; having an electric/electronic trigger on a conventional rifle lock actually gives you LESS control over things. Many, especially neophyte shooters, think they want a trigger with a .1 ounce weight of pull. That is a recipe for disaster even if your battery isn't dead. Much like a very light set trigger; they aren't always a good thing.
Now, for a bench rest rifle, might have potential but not for a hunter.

Somewhere on my brains hard drive I remember reading about a study done comparing using the set trigger on a gun vs. using it without setting it.

If I remember correctly, shooters did the same or worse using the set trigger.

Of course I could just be getting old...

You are probably right.
I actually missed a deer once by using a set trigger; of course I thought a half ounce trigger was a good thing. Shot over its back and it didn't hang around. Flintlock, but the set triggers operate the same as on a cartridge rifle. That is where they came from.
Sure, there are those (mostly in Germany who shoot from stands) who learn to use them, but for the other 99% of us, no.

butchloc. Yes that is the kind of electric trigger that I was wondering about. Fun for target shooting and gophers, maybe.
