Is there any difference between the regular 3 lb trigger and the skeleton trigger other then the looks? If not why the big price difference?

I don't believe there is and I was wondering the same thing.

I own four of the skelletonized and one of the flat sided model, they all feel the same to me, excellent! I prefer the skelletonized because of the asthetics of course, what a great looking setup!!

The aerodynamics of the skeletonized trigger are far superior.  This is the same concept as the dimples on a golf ball, they help stabilize the ball in flight by causing slight turbulence.  Same with the trigger as it moves back as you press it.  Much smoother action.

The elimination of mass in the trigger minimizes the inertia, so the trigger pull is easier, without actually lessening the spring tension.

Holes in the trigger also help to camouflage it for less visibility, as the shape signature of that part is changed.

Additionally, in competition, it provides superior air flow and therefore cooling, helping to dissipate heat from the lower.  A cooler rifle is gooder.

FOUR GOOD reasons!

A timney salesman for sure.

Ha I was also looking into the skeletonized timney for my build. A little more expensive, but I'd say its worth it.
