Brimstone Trigger

No need to ask on RFC... I worked out the "Canadian Special" with him a few years ago and promoted his work for many years on RFC and CGN... he has done several trigger groups for me and they are all excellent... I would compare the finished product to the Volquartsen TG2000. The special has likely changed, but it was initially $99 for the Tier 1 service and he did ship to Canada... as a matter of fact, I had Rimfire Technologies send the parts for my daughters pinky build to Gun Candy for anodizing, who then sent the parts to David for the trigger job, who then sent the parts to me.... you will have to look into whether the cross border shipping has tightened up at all, it has been about 4 or 5 years since he has done work for me.

Thanks for the replies. I am planning on ordering the tier two trigger.

I already have the Kidd two stage but the Brimstone is for another rifle that I don't want to spend a lot of $$$ on.

I had the Tier 1 trigger job a few years ago. It was top notch work but then I ended up with a Kidd 2 stage so I sold it.
David at Brimstone is a great guy and will typically answer questions promptly. He does ship to Canada and will go out of his way to accommodate Canadian customers. I had a Brimstone Tier 1 10/22 trigger and a trigger upgrade kit for a S&W 15-22, I was very impressed with both.

Just to clarify: The Tier 1 is the top of the line Brimstone trigger, Tier 2 is the intermediate model and Tier 3 is the basic. Some people assume that Tier 3 is the top model, which causes some confusion. Infact when I purchased my Tier 1 on the EE, the seller could not understand why no-one was buying his "Tier 3" trigger for $150. Once I asked a few questions, I realized that he had a Tier 1.
From the Brimstone site:
"The Tier 1 Trigger Work
This job has everything the previous two levels of work have, so it's not a bad idea to at least skim through them to get an idea of what's going on.
This trigger job picks up where the Tier 2 leaves off. You now have everything fitted, polished, tuned, and brought down to whatever weight of pull you request. You also have one of our billet CNC'd triggers with it's internal torsion trigger return spring and integral overtravel stop.
What the Tier 1 gets you is an adjustable sear, and extra time spent tuning and polishing everything to ensure that we have coaxed every possible ounce of performance from your group. The adjustable sear allows us to eliminate the pre-travel from your group, so that when you touch the trigger, it's already hit 'the wall.' At this point there is no perceptible movement in the trigger, just a crisp click, or glass rod break. This is known as a single stage trigger, versus the two stage triggers which have movement before you hit the wall. Your trigger will be equal to a high end target trigger on a bolt action rifle, and superior to most aftermarket 10/22 groups in actual trigger feel. Obviously you don't get the stunning machined group, or the bragging rights that go with a full group, but your actual trigger feel and function will be on par with most anything out there.
If you are going to be competing, or are just very serious about your shooting, then this is the trigger for you. Or, if you are actively considering spending the money for an aftermarket group, but are still slightly on a budget, this might also be the job for you."
I did a brief 10/22 trigger comparison back in 2017 (link below). I Found the Brimstone Tier 1 to be slightly better than the Kidd drop in upgrade kit for slightly less money.
