Ruger 10/22 garbage trigger, what to do?
My 10/22 trigger is garbage. If you've shot a 10/22 you know this.
I was thinking about buying a quality trigger pack for it. The Ruger BX25 is close to $100 and is reported to be a nice improvement but certainly not a wow improvement.
Then there is a Volquartsen HP Action Kit Plus which is around $140 and makes the trigger break at 2-2.5 pounds. It means disassembling the trigger pack and rebuilding it with the new parts. That doesn't scare me too much and I would love to hear from someone that has done it.
There is the Cadillac, the Volquartsen TG2000 trigger pack at $225.
And then there's the devil on shoulder screaming for me to clean it up myself. There are videos on what to do and I'm not a reckless sort when it comes to such work. The downside is that the best that can be achieved is getting it down to 4.5 pounds and smoothing it out. I hate doing all that just to be dissatisfied.
If anyone has found any other trigger packs that kick ass but don't cost as much as a new rifle, I'd like to hear about those as well.
Lastly, instead of rebuilding it to make it nice, suggestions on some used semi-auto .22s that are already where they need to be. If I recall correctly, the TC .22 semi-auto was a very nice rifle."A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself"

Re: Ruger 10/22 garbage trigger, what to do?
I just got a bx trigger from joebob outfitters ots definatly an improvement and good enough for my plinking/blasting. I'm not competing with it so no need for a more expensive trigger. I may still try to work the stock trigger till its useable. And waiting on the binary triggers to be instock.

I have the kidd trigger in mine. It is very nice. Not cheap. What kind of budget are you looking at?

I tried fixing mine, and it was better but still bleh......so I put a Kidd trigger kit ($100) in it. Now it*s super accurate. Makes 200 yard gong shots easy

Re: Ruger 10/22 garbage trigger, what to do?
Here is a link to the trigger I have. It is supposed to be a decent trigger but the downside is the safety sucks, but don't pull the trigger unless... I never have my finger on the trigger unless on a target anyway. Also the mag release cannot be taken out for something fun like an aftermarket mag release. I put it on my 10/22 build and am satisfied but may upgrade to a Kidd trigger when I can.
I also have a BX trigger I may sell at some point just sitting around.
