I don't pay full price for Geissele anything, I'll only buy during the sales. The SAA or the "budget" version G2S are ones within your required pull weight.
LaRue is the best $ for $ trigger currently on the market. Pick single or double stage, curved or flat bow...
Triggers - LaRue Tactical
I guess they went up in price since I bought them (or maybe I caught them on sale ?). Now they're $87. I still think they're the best value at $87 and plan on getting a few more as I build rifles.Where are you seeing them for $75?
I feel your pain. I also understand your thoughts on the CMC. I have one and it is light. It actually breaks at 2 3/4 pounds, not 3.5 like its advertised. There are many here suggesting the Geissele SSAE. Im going to go the other way and not suggest it. It too has a real "light" feel to it as far as im concerned. I run one in my precision Noveske, so i know what they are all about. They are excellent triggers, but if i were to suggest a trigger that i think you might like it would be the RRA 2 stage varmint match trigger. Right to bear arms generally always has them on sale for $79.00. At that price you arent out much, if you try it and decide you still dont want a 2 stage trigger. I run the RRA in 4 of my AR rifles and love them. This is coming from someone who is extremely picky when it comes to triggers. Oh, by the way, the larue mbt2s is also a very nice trigger. I gave away my last one to a buddy in alaska, who shoots competitively. He really likes it. Last i checked, they are $87 with about $9.00 shipping. Good luck with your search, and dont let the 2 stage trigger scare you off. Try it, you might just find out you really like it.This just makes it more confusing.
I've never used a two stage.
some thoughts in my head due to lack of understanding and experience with them.
though combined 4.5lbs, it's just two really light trigger pulls, so it wouldn't have the resistance I'm looking for
Reset would be weird
rapid fire would be more difficult.
what if I spend the $200+ and don't like it
Those are just some thing that go through my head when I think about a two stage.
I need to pickup some stuff at my local dealer today and he has a small trigger display. I'll see what he has for two stage and try.
so what makes a Geissele worth the money? I'm willing to spend it, but don't know if it's worth it.

Waaaa..I don't see a single recommendation for the SSA-E in this thread.
We stock almost all of those triggers mentioned in store...come feel them. Rise Armament, BCM, Elftman, CMC, Hiperfire, Wilson Combat, JP Rifles, Timney, Geiselle, POF and a few more.

Even The mil spec one felt much lighter than mine.
E used Rock River 2 stage triggers in all my builds .New build
looking for a 4.5-5lb trigger
I dropped some Kaw Valley Precision springs in other builds and worked great, but slightly worried about reliability and longevity so wanting to buy a nicer trigger.
I have a CMC 3.5lb in one of my other builds and it seems a little light.
I'm open, if it starts to get around the $200 range I'm guessing Geissele is the way to go, but hoping to get in for less.
Current options are hiperfire EDT, Velocity Classic, elf man forgot model
this for a general all around home defense, zombie apocalypse, fund range days.
thoughts?
I'm really not trying to be pissy here but just asking a question to make a point and perhaps drive further conversation ...I am also one that has never shot a two-stage rifle trigger. ... I much much much prefer not to have takeup in a trigger, especially a rifle trigger. ...

If you have not tried a two-stage how do you know that you don't prefer it? I ask because I have encountered many (a few dozen perhaps) over the years that spoke as you did, and then actually used a two-stage. All switched and never looked back. I have not encountered any go the other direction, though I'm sure there are some out there as my sphere of contact compared to the entire world of shooters is pretty small!
I think the Glock example was not meant to be taken as a direct comparison to how a rifle's two-stage trigger acts and feels, but rather just a corollary if you will, so that the OP could have a better context regarding two-stage function. I'm sure I'll be corrected if wrong here!
Regarding Glock triggers does the initial take up actually begin loading the striker release system or is it just true takeup? Perhaps this question should be in a different thread.
I think we are confusing 'take-up' with 'slack' which are entirely different things. The first stage of a two-stage trigger is not slack … it feels different and operationally is different in how the mechanism if functioning.
Cheers!
