wideopen231 Posted November 28, 2019 Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 Doing a 80% build and about to buy a trigger for it. Wondering whats best bang for buck trigger. I have Timneys in cpl bolt actions and love them. I know Geissele is standarad bad ass for lots. I also know get what you pay for.Build is one step at time .low to no budget(too many hoobies). Will be used for hunting and target shooting mostly. Like nice clean crisp break and if possible ib 3 to 4 pound range and closer to 3.

98Z5V Posted November 28, 2019 Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 LaRue MBT-2S, hands down. It's $80 right now for one trigger ($75 ea if you buy 3). You cannot beat that quality of a trigger for the money you shell out. It's badass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtallen83 Posted November 28, 2019 Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 98 is right on the money, best bang for your buck by far are the LaRue triggers. No experience with their new single stage but their 2 stage is the schit! https://www.larue.com/category/parts-accessories/lower-parts/triggers/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armed Eye Doc Posted November 29, 2019 Report Share Posted November 29, 2019 Like others, I have several MBT2S triggers and recommend them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt.Cross Posted November 29, 2019 Report Share Posted November 29, 2019 I gotta agree that the LaRue MBT2S is impossible to beat. It's the best quality for cost out there period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand If you find that you do not like it, I will buy it from you for what you paid plus the shipping to you and me. That way, all you have to risk is the time to order a new one and install it. That applies to your friends as well. I generally have one or two around but they keep finding uses. I have paid $129 for these in the past and thought it was a good deal then.

Albroswift Posted March 2, 2020 Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 Just tried one out this weekend, I like the break but on the reset the trigger bounces my finger back well into the 1st stage zone, I have a CMC 2lb/2lb 2 stage on another build that resets right at the 2nd stage break point. Maybe need a lighter trigger spring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the only real way to check trigger followthrough anyway, when you're working on Natural Point of Aim (NPOA). Anything else isn't a real way to check your NPOA. Nevermind - I see what you're saying now... Edited March 2, 2020 by 98Z5V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albroswift Posted March 2, 2020 Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 Yes, as in most semis, pistols and long guns, pull the trigger all the way through, release until reset is felt, should be right at the breaking point for follow up shot. Concentration on the reset. This is the first trigger I can remember that pushes my finger off the second stage break point, quite noticeable. There was a second spring in the package but the instructions said that was to increase trigger pull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

washguy Posted March 2, 2020 Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 Wideopen If you dont like the Larue for 80 bills...... for 91 bills you can get the Rise Armament drop in trigger... its a fairly nice drop in ...and for the money even better ...

Albroswift Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 Tried the Rise on one of the AR's today, very nice trigger. Width is tight fit in a Aero Precision GII lower and the pins were a little long. AP GII AR15 lowers must be a little on the skinny side.

Albroswift Posted March 23, 2020 Report Share Posted March 23, 2020 Friend just put one of the Rise Armament FCG's on his 308, after about 7-8 cycles (By hand) the hammer locked up in the vertical "Fired" position and will not move at all. Took it out, took the barrel and hammer spring out, re-assembled, two cycles and locked in vertical position again. Could not duplicate with the identical FCG I got little over a week ago. Opened a support ticket with Armoralley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albroswift Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 Yes, aware. Did get a trigger jig the other day so I'll try tuning up some the Milspec FCG's I've accumulated. Have a CMC coming to replace his RA for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand The paracord "trigger job" does quite well at smoothing those things out. Takes away the grit feeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
