    I could not pick one as well for some time. I have a few Colts 11.5, 16.1, and 20" guns so I ended up buying the LPR. I thought I would try the 18" gun out and I love it.

    Now the hard part... finding the right scope.

    I ended up putting the KAC 2 stage triggers and KAC RAS on all my Colts.

    I do hope in time I can change out my 11.5 and my 16" guns out for Knights. That will be some time down the road.

    Triggers

    I liked my KAC trigger a lot and ran it through a few classes before Geissele ran a deal on the SD triggers. Now everything must have a flat bow trigger with a "G" on it.

The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”

    I run G SSA on everything, but my Knights. That Knights trigger is on Par with the SSA. I wouldnt dare trade out that trigger. But to each its own.

    The flat based triggers are a beast of their own. I gave them consideration, but I have too many guns and didnt want a totally different feel.

    I agree. My KAC trigger actually feels better than an SSA I had. It falls somewhere between an SSA and an SSA-E according to my uncalibrated booger picker.

    I think comparing the KAC trigger to the SSA is splitting hairs.

    Overall, I like the SSA better because the disconnector is one piece, not two like on the KAC. In the event you ever want to or need to remove the trigger components, reassembling the KAC is a royal bitch if you don't have a slave pin handy. Which, strangely enough is included with the SSA...

    For outright trigger feel, the Super Dynamic triggers are it.

    dude, shorter gas system on the 16? shorter than what, rifle length? the 16" would have cycling issues with a rifle gas system.

    That was true with the old KAC Triggers. Now they have the drop in trigger. No adjustment needed, unlike the older ones.

    I was kinda shocked with this as well. I got my LPR about a month ago and seen this in the lower. The drop in is real nice, but I like the feel of the older triggers. Now once I get this newer one broke in, It may be just as good.

    You're making this out to be more difficult than it needs to be. If you want a more accurate rifle for taking set shots then get the LPR. It's already been mentioned that if you can afford to shoot out the stainless barrel then you can afford to replace it.

    If you want something a little more agile that's better suited for "running and gunning" then get the 16".

    If this was me, with my next rifle being an SBR, I would get the LPR and throw a 2.5-10x on there and call it a day.

    The one I had in my SR15 had the adjustment screws epoxied in place, but the disconnecter was two separate peices.

    Mine is the old 2 piece disco also. Thank God for those Geissele slave pins! I have one that I keep in my tool box and use it every time I remove or install a trigger.
