Is it worth it to Upgrade a Ruger 10/22 Trigger group ass.

Just spend about 80$ for the VQ hammer and PC sear and you'll get a 2 lbs .07 Oz ( 10 pull average ) ... Thats what I do to all my 10/22's

what I casn't escape, though, is the fact that the Ruger can be bought for #$249.97, or probably less

as at bass pro currently.

drop a $200 trigger into your $249.97 rifle, and you've got... well, a used 10/22 with a lot of $ invested in it.

too bad they don`t come with a better trigger.
 
nothing wrong with the stock trigger.
i ran mine for 25 years with no complaints.

sometimes it just nice to put a little lipstick on the old pig.

dont confuse not functional/operational with having excess money and time to kill.
 
Like I stated, I just did my own. I also have a Rem. 597 that also needed to lighten the trigger. I put a new vaquartsen hammer & extractor in it. BIG improvement!! Try the VQ hammer, if not enough remove & sell it for close to what you pay.

The older triggers are a LOT better than the new ones. Don't know what they changed, or when, but like pretty much every other firearm those made in the 60s, 70s and even 80s are better than the same models made today.

Bought a new one last year and the trigger was awful, but persevered and shot it regularly, it acceptable now, not a CZ but we can actually hit something at 100.

So a $289 gun is going to stay a $289 gun and we will enjoy it and get better.

i put a video up last year i think it was comparing a bunch of triggers.
in there i compare a 80's trigger to a 2013 trigger.
while all the parts are the same they are totally different. plastic housing compared to metal housing.
parts are different materials, the hammer has cut outs so its a lot thinner.

i, like you wish there was a place that made old all metal trigger groups.
 
huh. I'd probably go the other way. Hell, even if you aren't going to shoot bench rest or something like that, a good trigger really makes the firearm fun to shoot.
 
i love threads like these (seriously)
a few years ago when wanting a semi auo 22 i bought and tried a 10-22 with some green mountain(??) stuff on it. then i read some more asnd saw more semi's, sold the 10/22 and bought a T/C R-55 and never looked back.
now that even more threads on the same subject have come, and i now have had the chance to see and shoot the Dlask guns, i am almost ready to sell the T/C and buy one of them. they blow my mind, especially with that kidd trigger on it. the other one that really impresses me that i got to shoot is that magnum research one (magnumlite 22?) with the really light barrel. it had a nice trigger too. ridiculously accurate.
the times and products change, and it's fun to see the change for the better
good shoot'n lads!

I think I would ensure I put a better barrel on before I dropped money on a trigger, the dlask barrels will allow you to shoot holes in holes with the stock trigger
just saying

A good trigger makes a big difference. Especially in off hand shooting. You might get one shot groups out of a lead sled but a crappy trigger will pull you off target almost as bad as poor sights or a loose stock. My brother has a 10/22 that is a nice gun but the stock trigger SUCKS. I would say with that rifle the biggest improvement you could make to accuracy would be a trigger upgrade.
