10/22 trigger assemblies?

[esq_stu]

I bought a new basic 10/22. I want to make it a decent shooter (for informal target) and I know a decent trigger makes a big difference, so I'll start there, and then move on to barrel, stock, and sights/optics, not necessarily in that order.

I'm thinking about buying a trigger group/assembly for my 10/22. Any thoughts - Hornet Custom, Volquartsen, Kidd (in order of increasing price)? I could buy parts and fit them, but I'm feeling like it might be worth it to buy one all ready to go.

Any experience out there to share?

Thanks.

Just try replacing the stock hammer with a Volquartsen hammer. This alone will make a night and day difference in the trigger pull on a 10/22. With this hammer your trigger will come down to about 2 and half pounds and be much easier to shoot accurately. Mark

I have Volquartsen hammer. That alone improves Ruger stock trigger considerably.

I also have a set of Kidd's trigger. It is not a rebuild of Ruger's trigger group, but rather built from scratch. I believe that it is the only 2-stage trigger available for the 10/22. It has a very nice feel to it and is fully adjustable.

The key differentiator of the Kidd Trigger is a nice adjustable 2-stage trigger. When I ordered mine, I asked for a 4-lb break.

Tony Kidd is a very nice guy. I highly recommend his product.

a whole new trigger package usually runs about 80 bucks, or so. You could replace just the parts listed above, by yourself, for about 40 bucks, in about 15 minutes. Or another option is to send your trigger group to Mr. H, a 40 year Ruger specialist, here in houston. tell him what you want the trigger weight at. He charges 45 plus shipping, either to do your trigger job, or replace yours with one of his that is pre-done. So it still has all the origional parts, plus he adds a trigger stop. He did mine at about 2 lbs, and for accuracy, it makes all the diff in the world.

Try This

It made all the difference in mine. Crisp light trigger pull, quieter bolt, and the bolt releases like all semi-autos should.

As others have mentioned, a simple drop-in aftermarket hammer will do wonders. However, if you are set on getting an entire fire control system, hands down, Kid.

i would get an aftermarket parts kit, and put them on yourself, including new ejector/extractor parts, plus a s.s. takedown screw, and a torque wrench. then get a trigger job, or replace the whole unit, or send yours to mr. h. here in Houston, who will do a trigger job, using all your origional parts, and then adds a trigger stop. he only charges 45 or 50 bucks, plus I think 5 bucks shipping.

Mine shoots into one hole, and I have added nothing but those above mentioned parts, plus an extended mag release. If you didn't look close, it looks like a stock rifle.
