RE: Ruger 10-22 BX Trigger job
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
The only trigger job I ever did was a Timney trigger in my RPR 6.5mmCM. Wasn't much of a job either to be honest. Lol.
I like a 2.2lb break...Any lighter and I don't feel safe. Not much difference between 1.9 and 2.2 though I guess.

Sounds like we both have similar taste. Hard to get consistent enough to measure that close unless you're using a vise and machine. If you look close, you can see one of my readings was 1 lb 14.9 oz, but I'm pretty sure I pulled it different. Others in the string were pretty consistent at 2lb 2oz - 2lb 4oz. It sure felt better. Can't wait to get out and shoot it now!
For my comp guns I use the vice thing and do it at my gunsmiths shop so he has all the good gear. My hunting and culling guns I just do by feel. All turn out almost the same generally. That's a good shooter, let us know how it goes in the field.
@galenkp Got it out to test today. Here's 5 shot groups at 50 yards. Orange squares are 3/4 inch. Just some old Winchester ammo I had lying around. I seem to remember it likes CCI better, but none on hand.
Hey, that's not too bad at al!Is this single handed or double? I notice the groups open up a little, did you record which ones were shot first? Maybe fatigue opened them up? All decent groups though, except maybe the bottom right which is a bit random. Looks like a good shooter. Are you happy or are you going to work for better groups? Maybe you'll get better from the CCI as I think it's a little more consistent.
Not happy yet, I think it will do better with different ammo. Yah, that bottom right strange, almost like varied velocities. This was just some cheap Winchester I had laying around that I haven't shot much, not sure how it compares to others. I'm thinking it may like the heavier 40 grain bullets too. I'll play around a bit. That's half the fun!
Yeah, not unusual to have some fliers...It's not like .22 ammo is precision-made after all. Still, mostly good groups and will probably only get better with CCI. You're right, the fun is in chasing that ideal group and ammo. I think with .22 is easy as you can buy a 50 box of all different sorts and shoot groups to see what works. It's sort of like load development is for a centrefire...But not. Looking forward to the follow up posts.
