| Hi, I'm new, please help. What is the deal with adjustable triggers? I have a Remington Vantage 1200 and it says it has a 2 stage adjustable trigger. What does that mean? Also, what kind of maintenance should I be doing. I don't shoot that much, but I don't want to abuse it. |

Hi there,and welcome!
A two stage trigger is common on many guns, and is supposed to be safer than a good single stage trigger. (Real safety, of course, is between the ears of the shooter and has nothing to do with trigger type.) A two stage trigger has a long initial movement. The shooter pulls the trigger back to take up this slack until a sharply increased resistance is felt. (That is the first stage.) Then the actual surprise break trigger pull that will fire the rifle is begun, and from that point on the two stage trigger operates like a single stage trigger.
Here is a useful write up on air gun care,that should interest you....
There are many others as well,just use your browser,and or the forum search feature.There are a-lot of great people here that can/will always lend a helping hand.But be warned...THIS IS AN ADDICTIVE HOBBY!...........

| Also, I was looking at this Crosman Remington Npss Dig Camo Np .22 At Cabelas yesterday. Does the nitrogen piston need to be replaced or refilled like a CO2 gun? |

| No, the nitrogen gas is in a sealed chamber which is compressed each time you cock the gun. |
