    Has anyone tried one of these? I have a Geissele High Speed National Match trigger, which is good, but I’m kind of over the two stage thing. I’d like to give the JP Armageddon trigger a try, but haven’t heard much about it.
     
    I've never owned a Armageddon roller trigger from JP, but I have owned a few JP EZ Triggers, and I would honestly say they are the best mil spec trigger you can get before you jump into a Geissele.

    But if it was me and I wanted top quality adjustable single stage trigger I would go with the new Timney Calvin AR Trigger.

    I have the JP Armegeddon one one of my JP grendels. Its a pretty nice trigger but I dont think its as nice as the JP EZ trigger on my 6 creedmoor. The Armegeddon is nice enough that I have no plans to spend the money to replace it. However, based on favorable comments here at sniperhide, I am thinking of replacing the EZ Trigger for a Timney Calvin trigger.
     
    Not in a way your finger is likely to discern. To clarify further for smartasses, there is no provision for mechanically adjusting the internals of the trigger in any way, although I wouldn't mind seeing someone with a trigger pull scale adjust the shoe all over the place and take measurements along the way.
     
    Trigger almost all the way forward with red flat shoe pulling at bottom. 5 pull average of 19.2oz
    Trigger all the way rearward with knurled tube pulling at middle. 5 pull average of 26.9oz
    Total weight change is 7.7oz or a 40% increase in weight.

    I'm assuming these facts are from the new Timeny Calvin AR trigger??
     
    Last week I had the same dilemm. JP Armageddon trigger or timney Calvin elite. For my criteria price was the same, about $225. Timney has lighter pull weight which is +1 for me. Adj. Trigger shoe vs roller shoe +1 timney. 1 piece unit vs "normal" trigger parts, Even. I have Timneys in bolt rifles and don't own but have owned JP EZ trigger. I went with the Calvin Elite. When it' delivered tomorrow we'll see if I was right
