The Geissele Hi Speed is my favorite trigger for the AR.

Setup for 2 1/2 lbs on the first stage and 1 LBs on the 2nd it is hard to beat.

Add in best in class lock time and things just get better.

Of course the downside to the HI Speed is price. shocked


that is exactly my thoughts. never tried the trigger tech. but I know I would prefer most of the weight be on the first stage, with just enough on the second to provide a nice wall that is easy to find when I am trying to dump a coyote at 300 yards. 2 and 1 is my preferred ratio on the stages. my RRA varmint I think is about 2 and 2 on the stages. just a tad mushier than the geisele, plenty good for all but the most serious of accuracy applications.

I know this is off topic, question john burns, do you find you shoot an AR 15 better with its vertical grip and 2 stage trigger like we are talking about. vs a traditional stocked hunting rifle with any single stage trigger out there? I am talking in field conditions, like off some shooting sticks, maybe even some off hand shooting.


John I am not, but I've shot single and two stage in both ARs and bolt guns, never really mattered accuracy wise that I could tell.


I do prefer the 2 Stage in the field. It's easier for me to control the break.

As a note on the Trigger Tech triggers they make a very good Rem700 trigger. Quite a bit less than a Jewel but more robust under field conditions.

I am going to talk to them about a 2 stage Rem 700 trigger.


Thanks for that input!
