Aftermarket AR triggers...which one?

I'm wanting to upgrade the trigger in my AR and have been doing a bit of research, but want to hear from some of you guys who have custom built guns. What triggers do you like?

This trigger will be for my 6.8 SPC that I deer/coyote hunt with, but I plan on getting a new upper for a longer range caliber and I know that I need a way better trigger than I have now for longer range precision shots.

I'm leaning towards a Geiselle, but don't know which one would be more well suited for hunting. I have also seen the ALG Defense triggers that are made by a company connected to Geiselle supposedly ran by his wife, but I haven't heard of anyone who has one.

I have also heard that AR gold is the cat's meow, but again don't know anyone who has one.

My last and cheapest choice is a RRA NM 2 stage trigger. Is it a way better trigger than mil-spec?

Wilson Combat TTU two stage for me. They don't get much better than Wilson's.
 
I have 3 different ARs all with single stage triggers set at 3-4 lbs.

One is a JP, one is factory with Bill Springfield trigger work done and one with Spikes nickel boron trigger with enhanced lower parts kit...

They all are crisp single stage triggers, but I'd say the JP is the one I like the best..

Hope this helps.
 
I got a rock river national match 2stage and I don't thinkk that you can beat it for the price. I don't know the pull but I've used this lower with several upper during load development and love it.

This is what I use and love them so far.
 
I run three different aftermarket triggers in my ARs. I have a Timney, JP and several Gieselle SSA-E. The SSA-E is my favorite of all of them. It was a bit of a transition to the 2 stage triggers for me, but honestly wouldn't have it any other way now. With that said, the other two triggers I mentioned are really nice and don't see myself changing those out any time soon.
 
I'm not a fan of the two stage trigger so I went with a Jard. They were kind of a PITA to get adjusted during the install but I'm happy with the end result. I have two and both have the 2.5 lb spring in them. You can swap out the spring if you want to go heavier or lighter too.

Extremely easy installation and adjustment. There's even a video describing installation, and adjustment, though you don't really need the video, because it's so easy as I've described above.

I get a tremendous satisfaction knowing that once I get it adjusted, it never needs any further attention. And I'll never have to buy another trigger for that lower, as it will outlast me, and probably the next generation whom I will it to after I'm dead and gone.

Don't let the price scare you off. It's worth every last penny, and literally the best money I've ever spent on any aftermarket piece for my AR's.

This trigger is so good it's almost scary.
Buy it and enjoy all of it's benefits.

Hangtime


 
Giesselle DMR is my favorite. worth the money and if you order them from Larue you'll get dillo dust to boot. I have not tried every tigger on the market...lots of them though, have lots of timneys...but the best AR trigger I have is the DMR.
