On the vintage bolt action military rifles that I have looked at, there is a considerable amount of travel in the triggers before they engage any resistance. What was the purpose for this? Safety among the ranks? Thanks for the info.

The two-stage trigger is a safety feature on many military rifles. There is no detriment to accuracy. The shooter takes up the slack until the trigger meets resistance. Thereafter, a normal trigger pull will discharge the weapon. For most military small arms used afield, rough handling is the norm and a two-stage trigger is safer.
