My LR-308 has a horrible trigger. I tried to sweeten it up, but did not have great results, now it will fire if the trigger is released slowly. So I swapped the parts from my AR-15 so I could still use it for hunting tomorrow. I want a new trigger for it. The wife said I could order which ever one I want for my Christmas present. I don't know anything about 2 stage triggers, not sure if I want one or a single stage. Any help is appreciated. I want a trigger that will last, and not give me any trouble, also want one that is not horrible like the stock trigger.

I would go single stage in my opinion, zero creep or slack. There are alot of good drop in options, Timney, CMC, Jard, Giessele etc. I personally use the JP match kits, but its not drop in.

I have the Jard single-stage adjustable, and it is excellent. It goes in like the OEM parts, which I like. It takes a bit of fiddling to adjust it, but the results are very nice.

I don't mind a none drop in. As long as it doesn't need to be machined. Do you have a link to the one you like. I looked and there are so many different ones by each manufacturer. Especially the Giessel. Is your JP a single stage?

Cool thanks. Got so many to look into. Any idea on the amount of trigger pull? This is overwhelming.

I'm looking for one too right now. I have heard countless good things about the Geissele SSA-E. It is most likely what I will be putting my my Daniel Defense M4.

Do you know how many pounds the pull is? The website does not say. Is it adjustable?

I have a coworker that has the Geissele SD3G and he swears by it....I don't think you can go wrong with any of the Geissele triggers.

Geissele makes very solid triggers.

thanks guys, Geissele has a trigger for 200 bucks, but it is not adjustable. The adjustable one is 300. Does anyone think it is worth the extra 100 for a tactical type rifle. It is 16" barrel.

Just my opinion but buy a Timney...... Single stage with no creep and they just drop in very nicely.



Shhhhhhhh better to be quiet than remove all doubt..

I'm not a big fan of adjustable stuff. More things to go wrong, especially if it is on a "tactical" rifle.

I believe I bought #1023 . I searched through a three-inch stack of invoices and can't find the one my trigger is on, even though I did find the installation instructions. I know it was an adjustable single-stage for small pin receivers so it was #1023 or maybe #1024.

But that stack of invoices...I'm tempted to add them all up for some reason, but then again---I think maybe I don't really wanna know!

Thanks for all your help guys. I went and ordered the Geiselle SSA-E 2 stage trigger. First stage is 2.3 lbs, and second is 1.2 lbs. They shipped it yesterday. Got it from Bravo company. Hope it makes it here fast.
