Anyone know if they got the bugs worked out with these triggers for ARC Nucleus actions. Can't seem to find much info. I have a long action Nucleus with a Trigger Tech Diamond flat bow that works fine but just don't like single stage triggers and the flat bow isn't making the situation any better either. Looking at maybe the Geissele, or the Bix n Andy tac sport. Maybe I should just get the B n A and be done with it? Since I can get a top sear that works no problem. Tried my other rifles Timney CE and it did not work at all
 
I had an old Geissele (like first batch old) that wouldn't function in my newer Nuke (one of the last 1.0 nukes). Sent it to geissele, they "fixed"it, had back under a week and it's been about 500 + dry fire with zero issues. So whatever they do, it works.
 
Hey Winny my Nucleus is an early one too. I think #64. I'm assuming you just sent the trigger alone, no action right? How do you like it? That's pretty good turn around time. I know they can take awhile when you order from them.
 
Go for the Bix 'n Andy or wait for the two stage Triggertech. A Huber might work too.

I'm excited when I see a bolt action trigger company make an AR trigger, not so much when an AR trigger company makes a bolt action trigger...
 
Man we’ve been waiting a long time on the that two stage TT trigger. I’ll look into that Huber I think it may be out of my price range though.

ETA: just looked at the Huber. That’s a nice trigger and the price was is not bad. I’m going to have to do a search tomorrow on here to see what’s up with those

Dont know if current giessele work perfect on arc actions, out of the box. The giessele is a really good true 2 stage, they work just fine on tl3, origin, impact, defiance, rem700, and deadline. Not sure what is so off about the nucleus that makes them need tweaked.

I run a Huber in my nuke.
no complaints.

Correct, just the trigger. Favorite 2 stage I've tried (and that includes the TT)
 
I just asked Geissele this question, and received the following response today, “The Super 700 triggers are good to go with the ARC actions!“
 
Just wanted to post an update for people that may be thinking about a Geissele Super 700 for your ARC Nucleus. I ordered one from Brownells and got it today. Installed it and it functions great and feels really good. I'm leaving it how it's set out of the box as I'm not a super light trigger fan. I like to be able to manipulate the trigger without worrying about "touching" it off. Also, people had said that the trigger doesn't feel right with a vertical grip. I'm not feeling it. Mine is in a KRG Whiskey 3 and feels normal.

I will update after my range trip.

I put the super 700 in my nucleus recently, I did the same and left it set just like it comes out of the box. I have a couple hundred rounds live fire and no troubles. It is in an MPA chassis and it feels different with the EVG grip, coming from a TT Diamand Pro curve especially. I'm not going to jump ship on it, but I want to run it for a while to see if I want to change a couple other rifles over to this. Had two BnA 2 stage blow up on me in another rifle, they fixed them fast and all, but just not going to have that 'what if' in the back of my pea brain at a match lol.
 
Hey mahlv, the grip on the MPA must be different and maybe put your hand at a different angle. Did you get rid of the TT because its a single stage? I almost got the BnA also because of the top sear changeability. I hope this Geissele works out for me, dry fire seems good so far.

I did switch from the TT because I like 2 stage and am tired of waiting on TT's 2 stage. I dry fired a TT Special 2 stage on a guys rifle a couple weeks ago and he almost had to fight me for it ha ha.
 
LOL How'd he score one of those, was he a tester?
Yeah I guess so, he wrote up a review of it here
 
Just got my foundation Genesis and with a Zeus action, this Geissele trigger feels leaps and bounds better than it did in an MPA chassis with the vert grip. Will get it out for some live fire ASAP, but just dry firing around the shop here it feels great
