Wont comment on the triggers, have no experience with them. Re scope, do you really need to go to 18 power, seeing as that cartridge is only good for around 200m a good 3-9 or 4-12 would do the job nicely, if you will be using it for spotlighting I would suggest a larger objective lens than the standard 40 mm, 50 would be good.
