Home Forums Hunting & Shooting AR and Tactical Rifles anybody have a Ruger Elite trigger in their AR?

I am wondering if you are able to comment on it.

I just installed one last night. It is as advertised and well worth the $100 I paid for it.

I'll hit the range with it this weekend and let you know definitively. It's a better trigger than the RR two-stage. But that opinion is only going off dry-firing.




Dave

Looking at getting one of these myself, interested in your experience with it

Thanks Dave!

Yes. I paid $109. It is not a Timney or a Gissele but is much better than mil-spec. On a 1-10 scale I'd put it abut 8.5.

I paid about $160 for another AR trigger and it is maybe a tiny tad better. But definitely not $50 worth.

The real test is would I buy another and the answer is 'Yes'.

Where for $109?

It was months ago and I won't have access to my home computer for the next week or so. (Working in The Bahamas is a bitch but someone has to do it. )

Cheaper Than Dirt, I think. $113 there now. $107 at Bud's today.

Differences between them?

RRA can be a bit different and need more tuning in different lowers.

Isn't the Ruger a drop in unit?

Just curious.

Jeff,

I'd say the Ruger is smoother/crisper than the Rock River I have.

Not sure what you mean when you say drop in unit.



Travis

It is not a canister (drop in) trigger.

Can vary from lower to lower just as RR, Geissele and any other non canister trigger.

Gotcha.

I gave that TriggerTech a go in the offhand today and holy balls.... That thing blows the RR and Ruger out of the fugkin' water.



Dave

There is something wrong with your rra. My best trigger is a Geisele high speed match rifle. It's got tuning adjustments to adjust out whatever problem your having. Yes it's better than the rra varmint I have in another gun but to say it blows it away is a joke especially when I paid 62 bucks for it and $270 for the geisele

Cumminmecowboy,

Do you own a TriggerTech?




Dave

Do you?

MM

Which flavor?

MM

hadn't heard of TT, will have to google them..

The problem for me with the trigger tech is I prefer for the first stage to me most of the pull. Ideally 2 pound first stage 1 pound second. That trigger also looks it doesn't have engagement adjustment rather just pull weight

With only 3/4lb on the 1st stage, what's the point of the TriggerTech 2 stage?

I just installed a Geissele HSNM and it's nice, but certainly not light years nicer than my RRs. It's adjustable, it's locktime is faster, but other than that, it's a wash. I like the RR longer 1st stage. Trigger bow placement is irrelevant to me. I like the Geissele's overtravel and 2nd stage adjustment. We'll see how it washes out. But I still maintain that if you can't win the Nationals with a RR, you can't win with any trigger.

I shot a Standing match with the Geissele. Shot a 193 with a 99 in the second string of 10. Same as I do with the RR.

Adaptable.
