Idaho SharpshooterSerious AR shooters...
I am building a couple of AR-15's. Varmint rifle, and a new system for the wife's Ciener conversion 22lr.
Anybody tried the Hipertouch AR triggers? Reads really neat in the Brownells catalog. 3lb single stage trigger. The two-stage trigger has always been an irritant for a Coyote rifle.
thanks,
Rich

HPMasterIdaho, I shoot competitive high power with ARs- both Service and Match rifles, I have found that while most HP triggers are 2 stage- the utility is found in a 2-3 pound first stage and a 2.5 to 3 lbs second. Two makers come to mind as premier- (in order of my preference) Xtreme AR ( now out of production it seems) and the Geisselle family- I have several of the former and one of the latter. I have not found a better trigger for serious, repeatable performance.

Idaho Sharpshooterthank you. I am used to bolt rifles and a simple single stage trigger in the 2-3 lb range.
I shot Bench Rest for several years, and my last rifle had a 1 3/8ths ounce trigger.

A7DaveI like the two stage triggers. Wish I could get them for hunting rifles.
IMHO, Giessle are the best two stage. If you want even more expensive, get a Jewel.

Idaho SharpshooterArnold (Jewell) makes a single stage trigger that can be taken down to the 2lb range. So does JARD, and the afore mentioned one.
This would be for a ten pound AR in .223 with a 27" bull barrel.
It was a real fun day with the AR. I have one of those golf ball launchers that uses blanks. One of these warm spring days I need to chronograph them. I could beat Tiger on his best day with his favorite driver.

The Savage "Accutrigger" is a 2 stage trigger albeit a very light one.
