Anything made by Geissele is awesome. I have the SSA-E which is a 2 stage and it is phenomenal. They also make several single stage models, like the super 3 gun trigger which is also awesome.

Jard makes a single-stage adjustable that won't break the bank.

Geissele is an excellent replacement. Several models available depending on purpose.

The POF drop in trigger is reasonably priced and easy to install. It works well and appears to be durable as well.

Lots of good ones, as mentioned above.
My personal preference is a Wilson Combat TTU 3lb

I have a RRA NM trigger. It is perfectly reasonable. If I were to do it over again, I'd buy a giessle SSA-E.

RRA NM trigger. I rip .18 splits off of one on target in 3 gun and have no problem hitting steel at distance. Plus,it's half the cost of the giessle.
The secret to a long life is to try not to shorten it.

What are your intended uses for this AR? Plinker, stalker shooter, SSA, G2S, ALG/ACT...Timney 4.5lb, Wilson TTR triggers
Shooting from a bench, stationary position, SSA-E, S3G, Timney 3lb

RRA 2-Stage is a great less expensive option.
I use a Geissele (sp? I'm not looking it up right now) SSA and really like it

RWH24, I really dont have single intention for this rifle. I guess it will be a multi purpose rifle. Will mainly shoot varmits, pigs, paper, and cans. May hunt whitetail some. The trigger than came with it is pure trash and good groups is next to impossible. Think anything under4 pounds would be to light and I dont care for triggers over 6 pounds.

There's no denying that Geissele triggers are fantastic and it probably goes without saying that they are the best, however, I think the JP Fire Control System is a great compromise if you don't want to spring for a Geissele.

The POF drop in trigger is factory set at 4.5 lbs and is not adjustable.

Dont get me wrong, money/cost matters. But, I won this gun by purchasing2 $20 raffle tickets. Lol the scope mount cost 2x the investment in the rifle. The rest of rifle is top notch components (dont understand crappy trigger) and want better groups and better feeling trigger.

Check out the ALG triggers. For around $45-65 its a big improvement over most stock triggers. Not as nice as my SSA-E but a whole lot cheaper. Plus ALG is affiliated with Geisselle so you're getting good quality

I have the ALG ACT which is a step above the Spike's NiB Combat trigger.
The ACT is 5 steps ahead of a Mil-Spec GI FCG. It is fine for what I do.
If I was to step up it would be to the SSA or G2S from Geissele.

You can probably be satisfied with a $50 trigger job on factory parts.

I have RRA NM triggers in all my rifles and on my 6.8 SPC hunting rifle I added KNS trigger pins to make it even slicker. I have never had a problem with RRA, but I have never used anything else other than mil-spec so I cant compare them to some of the others recommendations.

Just do a JP spring kit. It's cheap and will give you around 4-5 lbs. pull on your stock single stage trigger.
