I agree, the Timney 3.5 lb trigger is hard to beat. Release is always the same, no surprises.

Geissele hands down.

The Range Officer came over and asked us if we were shooting full auto. We told him what we had and let him shoot it. He went home and ordered one that day.

Here is a video of my son Tom shooting his Spikes SBRed AR15 with a 30 round magazine and a Geissele S3G Trigger.

Geissele SD-3G is light and fast as f*ck! The reset is second to none.

Hiperfire 24c is faster than my geissele on the timer

The Timney is really nice. I also have not ever used a Geissele that I didn't like.

As others have suggested geissele is the way to go. I have a SD-3G and it's awesome, but my suggestion would be the B-GRF. It's a curved trigger like their 3 gun trigger and feels indistinguishable from the 3 gun, but about $50 cheaper. Install is a bigger pain in the ass, but that's the only real downside. Also Currently on sale at the link below.

Geissele are nice, sure. I have an SSA. However, I do not feel that the value is equal to the price. I can shoot just as well with my much more reasonably priced ALG QMS. I doubt I would ever pay for another Geissele.

I guess it all depends on what the rifle is for ... If you want a really great trigger and the bragging rights to it, Geissele all the way... my AR's are for fun, and SHTF... I went PSA enhanced triggers on them - smoothed up, then nickel boron coated for slickness - they are OK for $25 more than "standard" triggers - I am not shooting long distance, but looking for a smoother trigger and am ok with these.

The Geissele is ok, but can vary a lot. I have a Jard that breaks at 1.75lbs and a couple Jewells with second stages that break at 1lb. A Trident that breaks at 3lbs for $10..... Honestly, the Hiperfire is probably the best deal on sale.

Some people like 3lb triggers. 3lbs is easy on the AR.
