Ruger BX-trigger

[bandit1250]

I went to a big gun shop in Pa. Tuesday and they had four BX triggers on display where you could test the weight of pull. There is a lot of variation in these trigger groups now compared to the earlier ones that were more consistent. I bought the best feeling one with the least take up and the lightest pull. A few of them felt nearly double the pull weight of this one. I paid more than I would have if ordered from the internet but it is worth more to hand pick a good one with the wide variations in them now. When I got it home it pulled on the scale from 2 lb.-2 lb. 2 oz. I took a friends BX apart yesterday that pulls bad. I polished the contact points on the parts in it and it works well now. The hammer and sear is the difference in the BX from the standard triggers that pull like crap when there is nothing done to improve them. I bought this BX trigger to use in another Ruger 10/22 in a lighter model than the Target model for hunting this fall. Not sure which model yet. I really always like the Deluxe Sporter models.

Our mid-80s Sporter Deluxe 10/22 has been a fun shooter and replacing the old metal trigger with the BX has helped. It's about as far as I care to go, though, since our SD only gets dusted off every once in a great while.

NCG, Sure is a nice looking Deluxe Sporter. If I buy another 10/22 that would be the one.

Yeah, my favorite of the 10/22s, but a walnut full stock 10/22 would be nice, too.

I looked at the full stock walnut models Tuesday at the shop when I bought the trigger. I liked the blued for the traditional look but the stainless with the walnut wood sure looked nice to. Maybe get one down the road.

I did the same when picking out my BX trigger.
I agree with both of you...The Walnut Deluxe Sporter Stock looks good. It's probably my favorite OEM 10/22 stock. Here's mine with a 16" barrel from a 10/22 compact, and a Volquartsen Firefly bolt for firing low velocity rounds like the CCI Quiet or Remington CBees.

It would likely work with shorts as well, if I could find a magazine. The 'French' Walnut Sporters are pretty easy on the eyes as well.

Those are some nice 10/22-nothing better than dark wood.

Love that one, roddy.

Despite the flak I see the 10/22 getting around the net, I've actually enjoyed the rifle, even in its standard carbine form. Used a the basic walnut carbine for a lot of squirrel hunting, back in the day, and it did a great job. Pretty much knocks the air out of the myth about squirrel rifles having to have MOA accuracy to be good. Of course, in those days, I was also using a Ruger Single Six for squirrel hunting. With that 22 revolver, just a matter of keeping shots close.
