Is the Geissele Ssa-e trigger worth it?

[Moondog1]

Just a heads up, PSA has their deal running for the 10 pmags and the SSA-E

They are great! I'd highly recommend it!

I prefer the SSA for general purpose carbines and the SSA-E for DMR applications.

Is the SSA/SSA-E the recommended trigger for a MK12 build?

No idea.....guess it would depend on who's doing the recommendation! It's probably what I'd recommend. It's an "enhanced" semi-auto version of the select-fire trigger they do for the military.

I think I'm going to put a Geissele trigger in it. Then save the money and just throw a trijicon on it. Any recommendations on what trijicon to use?

I went with the TA11. longer eye relief. it is 3.5 power but you don't have to plant your eye socket to the scope. I have no issue engaging targets at distance and dont see .5X making a difference.

Awesome thanks for the advice redtail

No Problem.

reticle is personal preference. i went with the red chevron BAC reticle to enable close targets faster with both eyes open.

I have it and i also have some x-brand packaged triggers that cost $100. In my opinion, it is not worth the difference in price at list.
Now if you find it on sale ...

I think the "E" is a little too light. I'd say G2S or MBT.

If you're thinking fixed power, magnified Trijicon, see if someone has one you can try out before you buy. It's a matter of personal preference.

I don't like the 3x-4x fixed optics for want I want/need my carbine to do. Not versatile enough. Too much power for CQB, not enough for long distance. I run fixed 1x RDS's or variable powered optics with a lot more top end than 3x-4x, depending on what I want it to do. YMMV
