Dmr/ precision ar type trigger

[LeftyJason]

I have my ar. Originally built 2010ish and been changing parts out to update it over time. Quad rail is now a strike mlok, comp switched for thunderbeast flash hider to ultra 7 Gen 1. Leupold mark ar 3-9 switched to vortex strike fire to nothing currently but going 2.5-15 direction.

Latest Pic. Vert grip gone, pic rail gone replaced by mdt arca rail this week, strike fire off on something else.

Currently has a 3lb timney competition single stage. Bought it without knowing much. Looking at going more 2 stage cause it would be nice to be able to touch the trigger and know I'm on without it going off.

What do you all use on your more precision type rigs?

Have done some searching in this forum but haven't seen much about some of the options. Triggertech duty vs competitive, timney targa short vs long, or any of the others.

My precision rifles all wear Trigger tech Diamond 2 stage triggers.

 

[Graves14]

TT 2 stage or Geissele SDE would be my top choices

 

[davsco]

geissele ssa-e two-stage on my AR's that i use for some level of precision. incl 2-3 gun from blasting real close to 500yds, and my 224 valk for gas gun matches.

Just came in to say trigger tech.

Set to what weight?

Set to what weight?

These are on my Precision ARs and are 2.25-2.5lb

Which one?

I have a Geissele Hi Speed in my .308 AR. Currently it has the match rifle springs, but I'm switching back to the DMR springs.

• DMR: 1st stage: 2.5 - 3.6 lbs, Total: 3.0 - 5.1 lbs.
• Match Rifle: 1st stage: 1.5 - 2.5 lbs, Total: 1.9 - 3.4 lbs

The Geissele hi speed trigger is the way to go in my opinion, though it will spoil you and you wont want to use any other geiselle after that one lol

 

[Stugots]

I have 4 AR15's all with Geissele National Match triggers. And 1 with a Rise Iconic trigger. To be honest, I like the Rise Iconic slightly better than the Geissele N.M.

Here’s my list of solid AR dmr type triggers:

• Geissele SSA-E X Trigger (lighter pull than SSA X) ($200)
• Geissele Super Dynamic Enhanced (flat, 2 stage) ($175)
• Geissele High Speed 2 Stage Trigger (with DMR spring kit) ($200)
• Geissele SSA X Trigger (more duty oriented than SSA-E X) ($200)
• TriggerTech AR-15 Duty Trigger: 3.5 lbs, 2 stage, flat ($130)
• LaRue MBT 2 Stage Flat ($86)

Note there are Memorial weekend sales going on right now at geissele, primary arms, etc..

I have a Geissele National Match as well. I probably could’ve just gotten one of their non-adjustable two stagers. Can’t remember which one(s?) that would be…their naming conventions confuse me lol including their rifle naming.

Triggertech Diamond 2-stage, total weight set to 2.25lb

 

[TonyTheTiger]

I've got a bunch of single stages and quite a few 2 stage triggers, and for the life of me I can't figure out why people choose to die on one hill or the other.
Unless you're a monkey, you should be able to use either.

 

[roostercogburn98]

I have a gun eerily similar to yours. It has one of the old school triggertech frictionless two stages set to 3.5 pounds in it. It has served the gun well as it developed into what it is now. She is an oinker, but shoots well

-Triggertech 3.5# two stage
-Mega upper and lower
-Strike Industries Gridlock HG
-Superlative Arms adjustable GB
-18 inch bartlein 1-7:7 twist with Seekins bolt headspaced using a WOA competition length barrel extension.
-Gen 3 PRS, standar A2 buffer and Tubb flatwire spring
-ZCO 420 in Badger Max mount

I use Geissele HSNM with DMR springs in my dedicated precision rigs. Everything else has SSA-X.

I can use a two stage trigger just fine but the philosophical concept of it pisses me off. It's like having to be somewhere 10 mins prior to 10 mins prior to make sure that you're early. Just tell me the time and I'll be there. There's zero difference between the second stage and a normal single stage trigger. I don't need 2lbs of nothing to press through just to get to the wall that's going to break and release the hammer...the same as if you were just shooting a single stage. I think for a lot of people it's a mental comfort placebo.

I agree with this and that's my preference as well, but I still don't know why people are so hung up on this.
I see threads and FB posts all the time from people soliciting trigger advice and find it bizzare that people gravitating towards precision use automatically assume that 2 stage is the only way.
And then you've got guntubers like Garand Thumb that start every video with "this things got a 2 stage trigger, so that's good!"
The one and only definite advantage to a 2 stage trigger is the reduced likelihood of a bumpfire when free recoiling an AR. And that's a questionable practice anyhow.

What the industry needs is a 3 stage trigger. If two stages are good, three's gotta be better

 

[oldrifleman]

I agree that a single stage is just as good depending on your shooting style. Do I care which one anyone shoots, no. A two stage just fits my shooting style better, to each their own.

This is actually the main reason why I use two stage triggers on my gas guns. Once you get used to them on gassers its nice to standardize them on all guns gas or bolt….at least thats the route I went
