I got to try a kid trigger on my friends rifle the other day and it is amazing feels like glass, but its so not cheap. I guess if you want that nice of a trigger you have to pay up for it
SouthpawT, you know it's very easy to modify the existing bolt release to make it auto release?
Someone should tell Ruger.....![]()
its all money vs reward.
for the majority of people who shoot their 10/22's occasionally a BX is perfectly good and it a hell of a upgrade from the stock trigger pack.
if you shoot your 10/22 more than once a month you should look at getting something more.
if that is polishing up the trigger pack yourself or putting in some VQ parts.
or getting a Timney or a Kidd or sending it out to Brimstone or Dlask that is all up to the shooter and how much disposable income they have.
but the better the trigger the higher the price.
i have a dozen 10/22's and each of them have a different trigger in them.
so I can say with 100% certainty that the better the trigger the higher the price.
but for the money I tell the majority of people to get get a BX and that will be all they will ever need.
(and yes, the BX would come from the factory in all 10/22's)
and if they want more I tell them to polish their stock trigger pack, cheapest option.
if they want to spend money and actually get a decent trigger I think the Timney trigger pack is the best for the money.
and the Brimstone is a dream - but I do believe they have stopped or gone under.
i think I have a old video from years ago comparing trigger packs, ill post it if I can find it.
* never mind, I just looked at it on youtube and it does not have the BX or the brimstone on it.
Haha, well, I'm not sure if Ruger won't do it because of the cost of changing the tooling, or for fear of offending their loyal Fudd customer base.
I got better results spending an hour working over a factory trigger than I saw with the BX I had.
Very little file on the hammer and then polish everything up and put in an MCarbo kit. Actually this came out nicer than my VQ kit trigger did.
I agree, not much point in buying the BX trigger when you can spend some time with a fine stone to get better results with the stock one. It's not that hard to do, just have to be careful to not screw up any angles.

The bx can be improved by stoning and polishing as well

I like to tinker, and I love doing this kind of work. But I have to add a caution to people considering trying this: Unless you know what you're doing, it's actually pretty easy to screw things up and produce an unsafe firearm.
There are some good (and many not-so-good) videos on the topic.
