Best budget drop-in trigger? - NDSwede - 08-23-2022

Would sure appreciate some recommendations for a drop-in trigger. Looking for about a 3 1/2# trigger pull for about $100. What do you recommend?

Happy,
I just put that very trigger in a friend of mines gun that had an awful trigger.

What a difference it made in his shooting………..

He went from horrible to ok with just the new trigger….

I have these in my Grendel and .556. Really nice, smooth pull with a clean break and short reset.

I laughed, but it's true. I've seen it myself. A bad trigger combined with a poor shooter is a knotted mess that is difficult to untangle. It is nice when a poor shooter with a good trigger and barrel can say, "ah! I pulled that shot right", and it hit right.

Not technically a “Drop In” trigger but, IMO Rolleyes, for the money, it’s hard to beat the LaRue MBT-2S! Flat bow, recurve bow, single stage, two stage, it’s all good! They can hang with the Geissele, at less than half the cost!


Best budget drop-in trigger? - NDSwede - 08-24-2022

Thanks to everyone for your recommendations. I'm studying all of them. Kind of interested in the two stage trigger. Have one on a Remington 22 lr i grew up with. Thinking of installing it in an Ar 223 I use for practice.

I have a LaRue 2 stage in one rifle and a Geiselle single stage in another. Both are great, but I have come to prefer the 2 stage. But, that’s just me.

Larue mbt2s. I have 2. For $100 i don’t think they can be beat

This. I sold my Giessele SSA to buy 2 more MBT-2S triggers. At $100 or less, they are really hard to beat, and I use them as my go-to trigger in everything. It has a crisp & consistent break, a very positive reset, and I absolutely love the wide, flat face. I didn't like the flat bow as much as the curved, but that's definitely more of a personal preference.


Best budget drop-in trigger? - NDSwede - 08-25-2022

I’ve really got to give the MBT-2S a try. Everyone speaks so highly of it.

i used thier 535a in my grendel, you can usually get it in the 150 range


Best budget drop-in trigger? - LRRPF52 - 08-26-2022

LaRue MBT-2S if you want 2-stage

I have several of them.

This is a pretty good trigger, and for the money.....you can't beat it, or even come close. It isn't zero creep or ultra low reset, but again....for under $100 delivered, it is damn good.

And for reference i have a couple triggertechs (my favorites) and an Elf, a hiperfire, and several POF's (second favorite).


Best budget drop-in trigger? - EastTNHunter - 08-27-2022

I like my Rise Armament trigger


Best budget drop-in trigger? - Goodguy - 09-01-2022

Could not agree more. Love the MBT.

Welcome Goodguy to the dark side.

This is a great trigger, I have 3 of them in my different rifles. $89 right now, drop in and comes with anti-walk pins.

Polish out the trigger you have and drop a set of JP Enterprise
Springs in it. (the yellow ones). I put a set in a beater and was pleasantly surprised. I think they were right about $10
