IMHO, the RRA NM Varmint is a great 2-stage trigger for less than half the price. $89.99 No, its not a drop-in but installing it is not rocket science either. All my lowers wear them. The take-up is positive and then it breaks with a little more effort. Total pull for the 2 stages adds up to 3.5 lb. Feels lighter in use.

Triggers are like optics or any number of other add-ons for rifles. Everyone has their favorites. The non-Varmint version is equally as good but 4.5 total lb. For the same price, take the Varmint version.

I'm a RRA two stage guy too, but have a couple CMC's in the AR10's that are nice. Buddy swears by the Rise Armament's and they are crisp.

For a 2 stage trigger it is hard to beat the Larue MBT-2, especially for the buck.

ive got a couple timney single stage 4½ lb and a rise single 4½ lb...



just not a fan of two stage triggers. they feel wonky to me. i just like a nice clean break, but as noted above - triggers are a personal preference thing.

How about curved or flat?

For me, I prefer Geissele triggers, specifically the Dynamics (flat bows). Run them in all my AR's. I preferred two stage, especially for hunting. However, a couple years ago I picked up a Dynamic 3 Gun, and started becoming partial to it. Then last year (I think), Geissele released the Precision, a true single stage, which I really liked. Haven't been able to shoot since the whole Rona thing, so don't know which one I like better. I will most likely be swapping a couple of the 2 stage triggers for either the Dynamic 3 Gun or Dynamic Precision.

im a curved trigger guy. its my happy place, mostly because every factory gun ive ever owned has one like that. so why mess with what i'm used to operating and all that.

I'm no expert on triggers...I have 3 lowers with single stage triggers, have never shot a 2 stage trigger.. I have a Rise Armament RA-140 curved(6.5 Grendel) and a RA-434 flat both 3.5lb pull. I like the flat 434 a little better but nothing wrong with the cheaper 140 trigger. I use the lower with the 434 for my 450 BM rifle I also have a slip on butt pad on the adjustable stock. I recently bought a CMC ( competetion) trigger that is 2.5 lbs and flat, it seems to be a fine trigger but 2.5 lbs is lighter pull than I am used to... sighting the new Grendel rifle in and shooting it a few other times it seemed to be a good trigger.
