AR .308 DIAMOND TRIGGERS Reviews & Ratings

TriggerTech's AR .308 Diamond Trigger is an enhanced design that gives you an opportunity not only to take advantage of a revolutionary new technology, it also gives you the flexibility to choose exactly what kind of trigger shoe works best for your shooting style. This trigger is available in Curved, Straight and Pro Curved models, all designed to enhance your shooting skills and give you a more accurate, precise rifle platform. In addition to the incredibly short 0.015-inch reset point, the TriggerTech .308 Diamond Trigger is also user-adjustable, so you can dial in your trigger-pull weight in two-ounce increments from 1.5 to 4 pounds, giving you the exact feel you want. The trigger housing is constructed from hard-anodized 7075 aluminum, and all the internal components are crafted from 440C stainless steel. The trigger is designed for use in AR .308 rifles, but it will fit in any receiver built with mil-spec 0.154-inch pin holes. The most important benefit offered by the TriggerTech AR .308 Diamond Trigger is its construction. Thanks to the incredibly innovative Frictionless Release Technology incorporated into the design, there are no contact surfaces that need polishing or lubrication, and there's no wear that will gradually change your trigger-pull weight and feel over time. No matter whether you pull your trigger 1,000 or 10,000 times, it'll remain consistent from shot to shot.

Perfect

Great trigger, excellent and clean reset unlike other AR platform triggers ive had. Worth every penny. Also, the adjustment screw can just unscrew all the way to be on the lowest setting without affecting the function of the trigger.

GREAT trigger...

LOVE this trigger. This is my second one. I put one in my Rock River .308 and this one in my Aero custom 6.5 creedmoor AR-10. Very easy to install. Very easy to adjust trigger pull. Very smooth crisp, clean break. Love it. I've got the adjustment screw set with about 10 clicks left on the set screw and it's breaking at 1.6 pounds. Just where I like it. Probably the only trigger I will buy from now on. I bought one of the trigger tech non adjustable ones and it has a nice clean break but it breaks at 3.75 pounds and can't be adjusted. I will stick with the Diamond adjustable from now on.

Would recommend

Its a really great trigger. Easy to put in no hassle, you can go lower than 1.5 pounds or higher.

Very nice!

I own 5 Guiselle's and 5 Timney's including the Calvin Elite. I just ordered the ar10 diamond and ar15 triggertechs. They look like artwork with all the polished internals. The clicking adjustment key is so simple and fast to adjust. The set screw make sence unlike the ones that are a pain on the regular timneys. the calvin elite has only one set that stay in place vs 2 sets on the standard triggers. My Guiselle triggers are just built like a tank and simple and very nice. the triggertech would be a great long range trigger its very crisp and smooth. They are on the same level and in some cases better than the mainsteam brands. I will buy more triggertech triggers from now on.

Its okay...

After months of research and mindful comparison, the Diamond was undeniably the pinnacle of triggers. The perfect upgrade for my ZEV 308. Undoubtedly a work of art, which I truly appreciate as an engineer by trade. That being said the trigger feel is just "okay" nothing spectacular in my opinion. The break isn't quite the "glass rod" everyone mentions. The first stage is light and the second stage is predictable with a good break. Overtravel is almost nonexistent which I am very fond of. The reset is very light which I do not like, as I am more partial to a positive reset. This may take a bit of getting used to on my part. The trigger shoe also exhibits some lateral play, which I have brought to Triggertech's attention.
