wwillson Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 As you know I spend a few days each year traveling to South Dakota to shoot prairie dogs(rats). After the first 30 minutes of shooting the majority of shots are between 200-400 yards. My Bushmaster Varminter has the standard Bushmaster 2-stage trigger which claims a 3lb first stage and a 1lb second stage pull. At 100 yards I find the trigger is acceptable, but the travel and pull is noticeable when taking precise shots. At distances beyond 100 yards, I really wish I had a better trigger with less travel in the first stage and a very light crisp second stage. The Geissele trigger system seems to have an outstanding reputation in match rifles. They aren't cheap and I'm wondering if they are worth the price. This particular trigger: Geissele Hi-Speed National Match Has a first stage adjustable pull from 1.5 - 2.5lb and a second stage pull adjustable from 0.4 - 0.9lb.I don't know how easy it is to change the pull weight in the field? Anyone have experience with Geissele triggers?Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarryinIN Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 Don't know. The first place I'd ask would be a Highpower forum, though. I guarantee they would know. Try www.highpower.usWhen I shot highpower, there were only three or four choices. The Millazo-Krieger was the favorite then. That's been a while. I think Geissle is the pick now.I know some of them are despised by the tactical guys because of failures/breakages. I think this is primarily from the "factory match" triggers some makers offer.I did try the Geissle in an FNH SCAR a while back. It was beautiful.I am wanting a SCAR pretty bad, and that trigger is tempting too, but it's $400. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 An AR nut at works swears by them - but I'm not sure which model he likes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steves Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 They are well worth the $$$$. They are nice. I have the SSA one it is nice I didn't want a lighter trigger. A match trigger would be trick for a varmit rifle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 This month's Shooting Times has a review of 4 or 5 AR trigger set ups. They all seem pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 I read the full article in Shooting Times last night. I would have liked more details on each one, but look at the other options besides Geissele. They do have info on the metallurgy of each brand........Not on line (yet): http://www.shootingtimes.com/?s=AR+Triggers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
