10/22 Trigger options

[Schipperke]

I guess it's been while since I looked. I'm seeing $250 plus triggers for a 10/22.
My BX was under $50 when I bought it, and now see them at $94 on Brownells or ~ $70 on fleabay

Is there any difference between them?

The BX drop in from Ruger has a lighter trigger pull. I'm not familiar with the red version though.

I’m pretty sure it’s the same trigger except the shoe is red.

Can anyone compare and contrast the characteristics of the BX triggers with offerings from Timney and Volquartsen?

I have a Timney and a Volquartsen in my two 10/22's. I prefer the Volquartsen to the Timney by a hair, though I am not sure it was worth the extra $$$.

The Volquartsen triggers are really nice but Kidd makes great triggers also. I went with Kidd. Love mine.

This is mine, with the BX in red. Great trigger! Very smooth, and, if you look closely, you can see that it has a short throw:

Hard to beat a Kidd trigger.

I've done a few, used to rebuild with VQ parts, which came out well. The BX is mediocre, it is lighter, but a little gritty, I stoned/polished mine and they end up very good for the cost. For a drop-in, Kidd, flat out, at $285 it is less expensive, and as good or better than VQ or Timney CE at this point. I did demo Kidd;s 2 stage, and it is absuredly good, easily the best target trigger made, but costs a little more than their one stage.

I take it my Boy's Life trigger crank is out of the question?

Another vote for Kidd triggers here. It's the first thing I'd do to a 10/22 after owning several.

This begs me to ask, WHAT is it that makes a Ruger Trigger bad and why can't factory components be made to rival these after market ones?

Perception.

Some people like them as issued, some don't. Ruger builds based on their proven design.

My one and only trigger job was the one I had put in my Model 70 30-06. It is an adjustable Jewel trigger.

There will always be and aftermarket for any firearms component. Skilled gunsmiths can almost always improve on the mass production process of the modern era.

 

[linkstate]

I think it depends on the goal. I put tech sights and a BX trigger on a plain jane 10/22 and that's all I wanted. Now if I was going to trick one out and swap a bunch of parts like the barrel and stock, I would be more inclined to spend more on a trigger just to try it out.
