Has anyone posted this before? TTAG put a bunch of triggers of a computer graph actuator doohickey and directly compared the amount of take-up, creep, weight, break and reset on charts to directly compare them to each other. It's interesting that they also put a few bolt gun triggers on the machine to compare them to the AR triggers. These are all single stage AR triggers. So in a few days when we get another "which trigger should I buy" thread we at least have a reference for single stage triggers. SINGLE STAGE AR TRIGGER COMPARISON

WOW! Thanks for that. I've been looking at more than a few drop-ins for a couple of builds that are still in the planning stages. This info will help a whole lot!
I could wish a lot of things on my worst enemy but neuropathy ain't one of them.

I have the Timney in 2 of my AR and I have them in some of my bolt guns. I think they are a very good investment if you are a target shooter and a long range shooter

Thanks for that, I am considering putting a nice trigger in my DD rifle w/ hopes of that helping me be a better shooter. If you could choose any of those for a duty gun which would you consider. I am so confused mike r

The $99 Rise did better than I would have guessed.

Got the two $99 Rise triggers I ordered on Saturday. Built a lower yesterday (Noveske lower, Spikes enhanced LPK which included the KNS anti-rotation trigger/hammer pins, JP Enterprises silent capture buffer spring, ...). The trigger feels pretty dang good for $99!

The best thing about an ar is the 2 stage trigger. Changing to one stage gets rid of one of the best things about precision shooting a small target at distance in field conditions. At the range with a great rest the single stage is fine. The 2 stage dominates it in the field.

At the range with a great rest the single stage is fine. The 2 stage dominates it in the field. But all AR's are not intended for shooting small groups at longer distance. I have a couple that are, and they have Geiselle's in them. Others are for more defensive shorter distance shooting - there I prefer a single stage, shorter pull, shorter reset, etc. Up until now I've used factory triggers (LMT, Colt, etc), but these Rise Armaments are pretty dang good and a big improvement from factory for $99.

Do you consider heads @ 300 to be "small targets at distance"?

Mouse heads or elephant heads?
People way over think the trigger thing. Every 2 stage is a single stage once you hit the wall. I've tried a few single stage triggers and just didn't care for what most thought to be a great trigger.I'm happy with 2 stages in the field or even when trying to shoot fast with a red dot, it just works.
But I'm pretty sure there are some good or even great single stage triggers out there now. Thing is you can't read about one and decide it's the best for you, only pulling the trigger will let you know which is best.
Heck I have one G2S that just sucks compared to my other 4 but stuff still dies.

We didn't shoot IDPA that much over the years, but a fair bit. I don't ever recall really being on the loosing end when it came to using an AR.
I never owned one that didn't have a 2 stage trigger in it.
Now I won't argue that top of the line shooters should use what works best for their sport and I realize that action shooting might be better served with a single stage.
Though I've shot a few matches at even longer distances where it was fire as fast as you can, hits count, misses don't.... and I don't recall being at a loss there and generally at the head of the pack as I really loved those matches....

What's funny is most of what anyone uses in a bolt rifle is single stage triggers, and somehow they are good enough for that but not an AR?!?! Yeah you can't go below ~3-3.5lbs but that's very little more (if any) than my hunting rifles (2 3/4-3lbs). I personally can shoot pretty dam good with a 3lb trigger, and except for trying to squeeze out the last small fraction of an inch off groups I prefer a single stage at abt 3lbs. I totally understand the desire for the 2 stage for a match rifle or even in the field if that's your preference, it's just not my preference. To each their own!

I set my 52D bolt action single stage trigger at 8 oz. I'd go to 4 if the trigger would hold it.
You can set an AR 2 stage trigger at 16-24 oz.
