It didn’t work well with my JP bolt. I run a Colt upper and a DDLES lower.

My opinion on the trigger, jest it is a great trigger for the money. Break is good, has a small bit of roll to it, but lacks any grit and breaks well. I prefer the SSA for a few reasons. First, the break is a bit better, reset is much better and for me, the feel of the MBT is just a bit odd. The wider trigger shoe, with the squared edges is something I’m still trying to get used to. I have two of the Larue triggers in carbines that don’t get shot a great deal. For the money, yes it’s a good trigger. For the money, I believe there are better options......for me.

Triggers, like stocks, grips, slings and optics are a rather personable item. I hate to say it, but you really need to try it for yourself and see how it works for you.

I have two rifles with SSA, two with SSA-E and one with an MBT. Though the role of the rifles are different, I will say that I find the MBT comparable to the SSA-E. Swapping from the SSA-E to the MBT in a precision rifle, I did not see a drop off in accuracy at all. Also, the flat face of the MBT makes finger placement a little better. To me, the MBT is more crisp on the break than the SSA. I have a hard time deciding which is more crisp, SSA-E or MBT.

My only concern is that the SSA/SSA-E have a lot of miles on them by a lot of trigger pullers. Is the MBT as reliable? I don't know. I may pick another one up for $87 and see how well it does in a 3 day class.

That's been my dilemma as well. I love the idea of the $87 trigger, and I really do like the flat shoe and overall fee of the MBT. It really is incredibly close to my SSA-E. But I don't know if it can be trusted the same way my SSA or SSA-E can. Time will tell, I suppose.

I went through the same logic tree recently.

The results as another Bill Geissele product, an SSA-E from PSA on sale for $179.00

All of this himming and hawing about "is it as good as..." For $87, if you need a trigger for a lower, what the hell do you have to lose? If it is ANYTHING like a G2S, you saved $30-40. If it is like an SSA/SSA-E, you saved around $100.

If you know that the SSA-E is the shit, and you have an SPR you're building, then quit messing around with an MBT2S and get your SSA-E.

Seriously. Lots of waffling about a part that is priced so aggressively, from such a ridiculously reliable source, that it is absurd to navel gaze over. Buy one and find out, or get an SSA/E and drive on.
