    Has anyone installed and used the AR Gold trigger?

    I Tried search forums, AR Gold, Gold and Trigger no luck.

    Has anyone either a recommendation or an issue with this trigger? Its for a hunting rifle.

    Nope, no issues at all - it's just not the 'supercool' trigger of the moment. I have one on my Mk12 that is set at 1.5 pounds, and it's perfectly drop-safe and creep free. For a hunting rifle it would be fantastic.

    The AR-Gold trigger is pretty close to flawless IMHO. I know most of the "high speed/low drag" crowd like triggers made by companies who's names start with G but it's a solid alternative.

    I like them because of the "belts and suspenders" safety features built into it. Also, I've not heard anyone with a "it's not reliable" story yet.

    Very well made trigger! I had one and loved it, however fir a hunting rifle I would prefer a more traditional 2 stage....but that's me.

    I agree. Very well designed trigger.

    you think this trigger is too light for a hunting rifle?

    For me it's not an issue of it being too light. Instead its more an issue of the triggers action not being the best for precision slow fire. It was designed as more of a 3 Gun trigger. Mine had a verybtiny amount if take up followed by a light unpredictable break. For precision guns I prefer a traditional 2 stage trigger which allows me to stage my trigger for the break as I prepare to take the shot. I can also work with a solid single stage trigger which has no take up and a crisp break, however the Gold isn't really either.......much like the Geiselle S3G.

    Thanks good information. I tried the Geissele 3 gun trigger and I agree that type of trigger is not good in a hunting rifle. If AR Gold is the same then I need to do more research.
