Introduction

I’ve been considering upgrading my Ruger 10/22 and the BX trigger has caught my eye. I’m looking for some detailed feedback from anyone who’s installed it.

Performance

  • Smoother Pull: One of the main points I’ve heard is how the BX trigger provides a much smoother trigger pull compared to the factory option. Can anyone share their experiences?
  • Weight of Trigger Pull: What’s your experience with the pull weight? I’ve heard it can be around 2.5 to 3.0 lbs, which is reportedly great for precision shooting.

Installation

  • Complexity: How easy is the installation? I’m decent at DIY projects but don’t want to end up with a complicated installation process.
  • Tools Needed: Are there any special tools required for the installation that could be a dealbreaker?

Usability

  • Impact on Accuracy: Has anyone noticed a significant improvement in accuracy with the BX trigger? I’m particularly interested in how it affects follow-up shots and shot groupings.
  • General Feel: How does it feel in actual shooting scenarios? I’m aiming for a wholesome shooting experience rather than just specifications.

Overall Satisfaction

  • Would You Recommend It? After using the BX trigger, would you recommend it to others who own a Ruger 10/22? What are the pros and cons you’ve picked up on?
  • Comparison with Other Triggers: How does it stack up against other aftermarket triggers? I want to make an informed decision and hear firsthand knowledge is invaluable.

Conclusion

I appreciate any insights you all can share on the Ruger 10/22 BX trigger. I’m interested in a well-rounded view so I can make my purchasing decision confidently! Looking forward to your feedback!

I can’t help but chuckle; it almost makes my old stock trigger seem like a hose clamp! Seriously, it’s that much better.

I recently installed the Ruger 10/22 BX trigger, and it was straightforward. The hardest part for me was getting the pins out, but a brass punch helped a lot.

I totally agree! I found that using a little bit of penetrating oil made a big difference. Those pins can be stubborn!

Great tips, both of you! I just installed mine last week. I also used a small rubber mallet to tap the pins out without damaging them.

19

I had a bit of a scare with mine. The springs flew out when I removed the old trigger. Lesson learned: cover your workspace before starting!

Haha, been there! I implemented a ‘spring-catching’ cloth after that incident. It saved me some time!
