Shot my lower today and I LOVE THE TRIGGERTECH. It was our first time shooting my lower, mating it with my son’s 16” upper in 223 with a Bushnell TRS25 red dot (2MOA). We were in a 25m indoor range, and I put 20 rounds in a 6” group in about 30 seconds but didn’t feel this was the right condition to try to make furthered tests for accuracy. There were issues with his setup, so trying to test for accuracy was not exactly ideal. His $20 BUIS sights were a failure, the front sight wobbles on recoil and worse, the rear aperture won’t lock into either position, and won’t stay consistent from one shot to the next. He hasn’t spent the cash to upgrade them yet (18-years old, so I get it), so under the circumstances I only used one box of ammo, and let my 13-year old son go to town with the other boxes I had bought for the occasion.
EDITED TO ADD: I forgot to talk about the trigger quality. I’ve dry fired this on my son’s lower a couple hundred times to get a good feel for it. It is a 2-stage trigger, with the first take up stage having a light, consistent pull weight that hits a distinct, firm wall where the trigger begins to put pressure on the sear for disengagement. The second stage has absolutely zero distinguishable creep or grit, and the roller design is effective in making the break absolutely the same with each shot. This seems like an ideal setup for precision shooting. One last thing, I got the flat trigger shoe (I’d have taken either for the price I got) and it’s the first time I’ve ever used one, but I like it a lot. I index my index finger on the little nub, and it didn’t take long to develop a muscle memory that makes it consistent with every shot. And pulling at the bottom of the trigger shoe instead of the middle increases the leverage enough that it feels lighter than 3.5 lbs. All in all, I’m excited to put this lower against a precision upper and give it a better test.
sorry to hijack the thread, but since this was a Triggertech post, I hope it was value added.
