A BX Trigger is What Your 10-22 Has Always Needed
I own two 10-22s. One of them has been my favorite go-to plinker for several years (several decades, actually).. I never thought the trigger was too bad, especially when comparing it to an old Winchester .22 my brother used, until I purchased a Savage FV-SR ( a Mark II with an Accu-Trigger). Boy, did I get spoiled. Now my 10-22 wasn't as fun to shoot any more. I put a scale on the trigger, and it broke at just over 8#. Hmmmmm...
So, last year, after reading some reviews, I bit the bullet and bought a BX Trigger to replace my old one. What a difference! It breaks crisply at 2-1/2#, and there's no creep. My groups have really tightened up. Who would have thought?
What about my second 10-22. This is one I bought used. The original owner had already "worked" the trigger and it already broke at 2-1/2#. However, it was a bit rough and creepy, and the owner must have worked the springs, too, because every now and then, I'd experience a string of failure-to-fire because of light hammer strikes. This last month, I also replaced that trigger group with a BX Trigger assembly. Just like on my first 10-22, the new trigger breaks crisply at 2-1/2# and no creep. And, because I replaced the whole assembly (tha't what the BX Trigger is--the whole shebang), all the springs are new and correct. That took care of my light strike issue. I haven't had a FTF since.
So, if you're wondering if the cost is worth it (it is, after all, around $60 for this trigger), it is. Will your 10-22 run better? It will. I think you'll be amazed as to how much better it will "feel" and how much better you can shoot. And if you're having issues with worn trigger parts and springs, this will take care of that, because you'll be replacing the entire trigger assembly. And as a bonus, you'll be getting an upgraded magazine release. Once you get used to it (after all I'd been using the old style release for over 40 years, now), it makes dropping an empty magazine a whole lot easier.
Is it easy to install? Yes, it is. Unscrew the stock from the barrel and action. Pull two pins on the action to drop the old trigger assembly out and put in the new BX Trigger assembly using the same two pins. It'll take about 10 minutes to do the whole job.
I've been recommending this Ruger-made BX Trigger to everyone I know who owns a 10-22 with an old trigger. I cannot say enough about how a simple trigger change, can make such a big difference in how much better your 10-22 functions and shoots. Like me, you'll wonder why you didn't do this years ago.
