I’ve been shooting a BCM middy for a couple of years now. However, I recently started doing more shooting at the 300m+ range. Generally, I’m doing pretty well at it, but I’d like to install a trigger with a lighter and cleaner break. I’m not looking for a precision rifle trigger, just something that is a little better than a factory BCM trigger group. Any suggestions? Thanks.
I have no experience with their products but, I presume most will recommend a Geissele SSA-E.
I shoot and recommend the Geissele SSA. Since it is a two stage it will feel different at first but i promise you will love it.
And first post is done!
I would try the QMS trigger from ALG. Its a damn good trigger for 45.00.
The QMS will be “smoother and sharper” but is not advertised as lighter.
I would go with an SSA (smoother AND lighter two stage) but it is quite a bit more at $170-180 while the QMS is around $45.
I have three SSAs and can vouch for them but I have no experience with the QMS. 
I am also an advocate of the ACT trigger as well, I think it is the best mil spec type trigger out there. As for a lighter pull, I don’t think it’s necessary in a combat rifle. However, if it is for merely for target shooting then you might want to look at a different trigger.
Too light for anything other than a dedicated precision rig. The SSA the best carbine trigger out there.
The Geissele S3G with the 5.5lb pull (call Geissele and they’ll supply a stronger blue powder coated trigger spring) is awesome: more weight, short travel and super short reset.
Can’t argue against the SSA, either.
“SSA…It is recommended for demanding applications such as Squad Designated Marksman (SDM) rifles, Law Enforcement use, and Close Quarters Battle (CQB) and mid-range carbine work.”

A light trigger is not always the best choice. Before changing triggers, clean and lube the stock trigger. This will smooth out the feel and greatly improve it’s consistency giving the shooter more precise control of the rifle
And so it seems. I take classes and play with mine and it seems to do everything I’ve asked of it.
I’m extremely happy with the SSA-E I installed last month. It’s a huge improvement over the standard single stage trigger I had prior. While it was something that I was initially worried about, I don’t find the trigger to be too light at all with it’s stated 3.5lbs pull. The break is extremely crisp and reset is relatively short and very tactile.
It all depends on what you’re willing to spend. If you want to keep costs down, the ALG trigger looks like an excellent choice. If you want to spend some more coin, I would personally recommend the SSA-E.

I upgraded two of my Vltor triggers to these. There better yet seem to stick?, at the break point. Just seems to hang bit. I’ve been switching over to the Gisselle E triggers I like them a lot, I really like the straight trigger.
Got two in a couple gen II Noveskes and they are just smooth as butter. Also have some other upgraded triggers in other rifles which I like this just happens to be what I think,I like best for now.

I also recommend the SSA. Its one of the most recent upgrades I made to my Noveske which had a solid stock trigger, but I wish it had been my first.
I personally use the Geissele SSA for my all around rifle. If I was building a strictly precision rifle, I would go SSA-E. I know OP said he wants a lighter more precision trigger, but did not specify if this is going to be mainly a precision rifle of if he is just trying to stretch his all purpose rifle with slightly better results.
No one ever puts a Geiselle SSA in and regrets it.
I really like my Geiselle SSA-E.
I just installed an ALG “ACT” trigger last night into one of my fighting gun lowers. It is better than mil-spec but still cant compare to the SSA or SSA-E for better precision use.
My ACT is actually worse than most of my USGIs. It has so much creep it looks like a two stage if you watch your finger when dry firing it.
Mine is definitely better than my USGI’s. But I am still going to use a SSA in my next build.
True story.
If it’s a precision-only rig: SSA-E/SD-E
If not, I have defaulted to: SSA/SD-C
I recently got a SD-C, only a couple hundred rounds through it but it is a great upgrade.
