One of my hunting AR's has a horrible long heavy trigger and I'd like to replace it with something better.

I've googled triggers and read sales pitches and reviews and all of them get glowing reviews from various writers but I don't really know how unbiased they are.

So, Has anyone used an after market trigger that is worth the considerable price tag?

We've done this at least a dozen times this year.

Just buy a Geissele and be done with it.

i am happy with my CMC triggers.

Here's a good article if you are interested in single stage cartridge triggers.

I had no idea there were so many single stage cartridge triggers!

Just know that you don't need the most expensive to make a significant difference, imho. Know also, that they go on sale fairly often, and you can often save $20+ if you get in on a decent sale. You'll also need to decide if you want two state or single stage. I have both and like both, but they are different. A good trigger is critical for me, and a good enough one usually meets my needs, too.

For a hunting gun a Geissele G2S would serve very well. For a little less a Rock River Varmint can be had. As previously mentioned look for sales coming up; best will be Black Friday.

ALG is a great hunting trigger at a great price. Comes with 2 sets of springs now. You can also buy JP 3.5 lb. springs to use with it. No need to spend more IMO for a hunting trigger. It is worlds better than any trigger my ARs came with....
