Is this trigger worth the money? I hope it is because I just ordered one. I also ordered a JP spring kit which I plan to use only the sear spring and I'm hoping for a 3 1/2 - 4 lb trigger pull.
Has anyone else used this trigger?

It was an impulse buy, I was bored and playing on my phone when I saw it. It's going on a PSA rifle with a 16 inch free float barrel. I'm not expecting miracles but I'm hoping for a big improvement over the stock trigger.

No need, the difference is easily discernible.

I'm not doubting Larue isn't better but have you ever compared the two.

Just got through installing my new trigger and I'm happy with it. It's the first 2 stage trigger I ever pulled so I don't have anything to compare it to other than the factory trigger and it's a big improvement over the factory trigger.
I used a popsicle stick and some car polish to do a quick polish on the engagement surfaces and I replaced the sear disconnect spring with one from a JP kit and the trigger pull is pretty light, definitely not a combat trigger.
I'm going to replace the Chinese fake Leupold with a Redfield Revolution as soon as my lens covers get here. The fake Leupold actually works pretty good. All I'm ever going to use this rifle for is punching holes in paper and plinking so it doesn't need to be top of the line. Right now I probably have around $650-$700 in the rifle, scope, and trigger.

You guys do realize I keep getting notices on my phone and when I check it's you two guys.

I wonder who makes the trigger for PSA.
I see the same trigger on another website called AT3tactical.
I haven't fired it yet but I have been working the trigger by hand, cocking it, firing it, and catching the hammer and recocking it. After a few minutes of this any grittiness has gone. It's a really smooth nice trigger now, I think I'm going to be happy with it.

Ok, finally had a little time so I grabbed my rifle and a few things and headed to the woods with my rifle with the new trigger and scope. I was shooting whatever was already in the rifle which turned out to be some Federal AE 150 round bulk pack ammo. I have some Magtec 77gr that I bought just for this rifle but didn't shoot any of it today. I'll carry better targets and ammo next trip I just wanted to get a feel for the trigger and minute of jug zero on the scope today.
All I can say is I am absolutely thrilled and shocked at the difference in this rifle. A few shots at 30 yards to get the scope close. About 8 clicks up on elevation and NO adjustment on windage. First shot 100 yards(110 long steps I'm 6ft even)dead on target. I was shooting a the E on a 16 oz MD bottle and hit the bottom of the E.
All I can say about the trigger is it is definitely worth the money. I haven't shot any groups yet but I'm confident this rifle has gone from a 2 1/2 MOA to a 1 MOA rifle and I believe 75% of that is due to the trigger if not more.
ETA, not meaning to take anything away from the scope. I really like this scope and if you are looking for a good scope for less than $200 I highly recommend the Redfield Revolution 2x7x33.
I know there are better rifles, better scopes, and better triggers out there but for the money I'm tickled with this combination of parts.

I admit I know nothing about 2 stage triggers as far as comparing one brand to another. One thing I do know about is polishing and breaking in a trigger. I'm not talking about using sandpaper or a Dremel just a little car polish and elbow grease. After just a little polishing this PSA trigger turned out pretty good.

A good trigger doesn't improve a gun.

A good trigger makes an average shooter shoot better.

I guess I must be an average shooter then. I have no real training other than hunting and target shooting but I have had 50 years of that.

 

[garya1961]

I'm almost certain the PSA 2 stage trigger is the same as the AT3 tactical trigger. Has anyony heard of these guys before?

 

[garya1961]

PSA has them on sale right now for $69.
