Premium trigger for AR platform rifles

[Gregg C]

Based on how much I liked the Trigger Tech Diamond I bought for a new boomer I'm building, I decided to put one on my LR308 . Wondering what triggers some of you-all are running, and the results you achieved by doing so.
I'm hoping that my rifle really likes this upgrade.

Was that one better , more comfortable, more...what, for you ? Hope this doesn't read as assinine , not my intent. How did that trigger perform for your use requirements? The trigger that came with my kit is, in my opinion, pretty crappy. And it was an upgrade!

G HS-HM. used to be an SSA-E guy before that. started off with the G2S-E. had floundered around with a lot of cheaper stuff before I drank the G Kool-Aid. have a couple of L-MBT2S triggers, got them when they were $88, but that "bar-stock" laser-cut trigger shoe doesn't appeal to me. S3G for the tacti-cool guns.

Best I have used is AR Gold, they are expensive but worth it to me. Giesele would be my second choice.

My AR Golds are 1 pound 1st stage and 1.25 pound second stage, they mimic my 1911/2011 competition pistol triggers almost exactly. The easiest to shoot triggers I have ever used.

I run Trigger Techs in all the ARs I build and keep. They are a very nice trigger and I have never had an issue with one.

With these lighter triggers, is the reset good or do you run in doubling at all?

I've been running an old Armalite match trigger I think for nearly 30 years now. Very old technology, maybe 4.5 lbs? More of a duty trigger by today's standards. But it's been reliable and much better than stock.

Have two with the Geissele SSA-E triggers. Got them for a great price a few years ago. I would consider using one again if I were to build another precision focused build.

Another for Geissele.

I have had no issues with doubling, even on multiple mag dumps

That's good to hear, as my preference is a light trigger. I didn't think about it when I ordered it. Maybe I'll start my tinkering with it on the heavy end and drop down, just to see if will do that at all. I mean, I REALLY like my triggers light!
It's the no creep that sold me, tho.

Just curious if any one has experience with the Geissele Hi Speed Match triggers. I am considering one for hunting / precision plinking
