RISE Armament Expands Their Trigger Line-up for 2025: Hands-on at SHOT Show

We had the privilege of getting our hands on RISE Armament's latest innovations at SHOT Show 2025, and we're excited to share our first-hand experience with their impressive new trigger offerings. From their groundbreaking entry into the bolt-action market to their budget-friendly AR platform addition, RISE continues to push the boundaries of trigger technology. Be sure to watch our detailed video previews below for an up-close look at these exciting new products and our live testing from the show floor.

Making waves in the precision rifle community, RISE Armament has launched their first-ever Remington 700 platform triggers: the Reliant Hunter and Reliant Pro. During our testing at SHOT Show, these triggers demonstrated the same exceptional quality we've come to expect from RISE, bringing their expertise in AR triggers to the bolt gun world.

The Reliant series introduces two distinct models catering to different shooter needs. The Reliant Hunter, which we found particularly impressive during our range time, offers a hunter-friendly 3.5-pound preset pull weight with straightforward external adjustability. For precision shooters, the Reliant Pro showcases remarkable versatility with its external overtravel adjustment and customizable pull weight ranging from sub-one pound to over three pounds.

What caught our attention during testing was RISE's innovative patent-pending safety design, which exceeds SAAMI standards while maintaining exceptional consistency. The drop-in installation utilizes a robust unibody cassette design, featuring their NoWay Take-Up system for a crisp, clean break and Heavy-Hit Hardening for enhanced durability.

Both models incorporate NIB-coated steel components for lasting performance and come with RISE's comprehensive lifetime warranty and their confident 30-day More-Bang-for-Your-Buck Performance Guarantee.

The Reliant Hunter, priced at $169.99 MSRP, is available with a curved trigger shoe and offers pull weight adjustment from under 2 to 5 pounds. Its premium sibling, the Reliant Pro, comes in at $259.99 MSRP and provides the choice between flat or curved trigger shoes, with ultra-fine pull weight adjustment from sub-one pound to over three pounds.

Adding to their 2025 lineup, RISE also unveiled their new RA-100 two-stage AR trigger. During our hands-on testing at SHOT Show, this budget-conscious option impressed us with its solid performance and thoughtful engineering. Constructed from S7 tool steel with heat treatment and nitriding, the RA-100 delivers a robust 4.5-pound total pull weight, split between a 2-pound first stage and 2.5-pound second stage.

The RA-100's enhanced hammer strike force ensures reliable ignition across all ammunition types, including tough military primers and steel-cased rounds. We particularly appreciated the captured disconnector assembly, which significantly simplifies installation. At $109.99 MSRP, this AR-15/AR-10 compatible trigger represents exceptional value, especially considering it carries RISE's lifetime warranty and satisfaction guarantee.
