Looking to upgrade the trigger on my varmint/predator ar15. Dont think i need a geiselle, but just wanna improve the standard. Lots of opinions but not on this specifically. Thanks for the help. [Beer]

I love my geissele, but I think the RRA two stage might be a solid way to go. Especially since its 1/4 the price

RRA is a nice, quality trigger for the price point.

RRA National Match trigger will run about $125

Geissle SSA trigger will run about $190

I have both and a JP single stage. Neither is as nice as the JP, but for the $65 its worth a drive down to Bowers with your lower. Get the SSA there and have Rob do all the heavy lifting while you sit there and gab with Mike.

I have an RRA.

I want a Giessele.

Edit: And I just looked at it, it's actually a RRA single stage, not at all what I thought it was. Sorry.

I'll toss a vote for the JP trigger. I had one in a rifle many years ago. When properly adjusted it eliminates just about all of the take up and overtravel and has a clean break.

After tireless research and recommendations. I went with the jp-fc-1. Thanks for everyone's input! Looking forward to feeling what a good trigger feels like.

Jeeze, don't go halfway. Just do the Geissele. I went with the Super Dynamic Enhanced because I wanted the flat trigger bow. Whichever you pick, do the "Enhanced" version. They are 1# lighter pull weight.

If you just can't spend the extra $ or hate 2 stage triggers, the Timney 3# is pretty nice.

Once you go Geissele you won't ever want to shoot anything else.

Until you shoot a JP single stage. For trigger feel alone, you simply cannot beat it. The Geissele has two advantages, stock springs and cheaper, but that's it.

Honestly I'm not a good enough of a long range shooter to be able to utilize a geiselle. I'm not gonna lie, it is what it is. But hopefully I get better, and get good enough to rationalize it. No sense in the equipment being 10x better than you are. IMHO which isn't much. Haha.

A good trigger is essential to precision shooting. You'll have difficulty improving with a crappy trigger.

I have the Geissele SSA and I really like it. Let us know how you like the JP!

I have used both the JP and the Geissele. For certain things I like the JP more. Like for steel challenge stuff when I dont want to even think about a trigger reset.

But when I want to take a deliberate and accurate shot the Geissele wins hands down. I bet I have 5-6 of them in various lowers and 2 of the JPs.
