I really like timney drop in triggers. Takes only a few mins to install they drop in no adjustment needed. they break like glass and all of the ones i have had has zero creep. I run the 3 lb skeleton.
There are so many that work just fine, but a drop in sure is nice. I really like the contour of the trigger on the Timney drop-ins, it's a little flatter and i think feels better. A JP two stage is great, but costs more and takes a LOT more work to fit and get perfect.
best trigger for the money is the RRA NM 2stage, IMHO the Geiselles are the best I have ever had a chance to shoot though. But then again there 2-3x more than the RRA.
I have done both Timney and the McCormick, I like how easy the Mc was to install and I like the straight post on the trigger. The Timney felt just a tad better.
For the money spent, the RRA National Match will amaze you. The take up is very slight, and it breaks so crisply with nearly no preceptible overtravel. Every time I put together a new AR-15 for someone, it baffles me that this is a "standard production" trigger. And the LPK to fill a stripped reciever with that trigger is cheaper than just the triggers mentioned here. I'd reccomend finding someone nearby that has one you can try out.

Am I out of the loop? Does JP Enterprises make a 2-stage AR trigger? I thought they made one of the finest single stage AR triggers.
I,m new here, but I have to vote timney also. I have bought cheaper but have had to go back in and fine tune them after a few hundred rounds. Even with loctite, they tend to need re-adjustments. Or, it could be my novice gunsmithing skills? I havn't got the stones to let loose of the $$$ for some of the other high end triggers. And like they said - you just drop it in (sorta').
Best bang for your buck? RRA NM 2-stage. I've got them in a bunch of my AR-15's. Most factory single stages just plain suck. At very least the RRA NM brings the trigger to acceptable levels.
I think a good compromise is the Geissle SSA trigger. It's traditional in design and burly. No setscrews to back out, etc. The start out similar to the weight of the RRA-NM, but I think the work in a bit and feel really good.
Interesting note. My SSA is the one trigger group that I've seen no perceptible movement of the rifle when dry firing. (Lots of other triggers when looking through the optics will show a small jiggle when the hammer falls.) I've seen this with even lighter triggers. My guess is the hammer geometry doesn't send any off axis energy through the firing pin.
I've got an SSA-E in the mail. Hopefully it's worth the bit extra over the standard SSA.

Sorry, single stage - your right! I got a little fast on my typing!
I thought I read on here awhile back the pros and cons of both single and 2stage triggers along with what trigger they prefered for the choice of rifle hunting, bench etc.
You might want to contact a fellow here on the Hide...THE DOCTOR.
He makes an AR-15 DROP-IN TRIGGER ADJUSTER. I got one from him and was able to modify my CAR-15 trigger pull from a creepy 86 oz. to a crisp 64 oz. (feels even lighter). Just my $.02.
