Just got the email on this. Ruger factory drop in trigger with 2.5-3.0 pound trigger, available Friday. Didn't see a price.
Ruger BX 10/22 Trigger replacement
- Thread starter djw54
- Start date
Looks like MSRP is $89.95. Might have to pick one up just to try it out.
Wonder if they will start putting these in all their new guns.

I just saw the email also... I'm hoping someone buys & installs one before I have to decide to be my own guinea pig!

Not aluminum. Polymer housing. Watch the video: http://www.ruger.com/micros/BX-Trigger/?r=ytrapperon said:
As long as they can keep a significant cost savings compared to the plethora of aftermarket units out there, it ought to be OK and eventually available on premium 10/22 versions. Maybe colors?
Again, the factory product is 20-30 years behind demand, but let's get some shooting reviews here so we can make that decision!

I got the 713-003 for $60 and it is very nice. 8)

I have an assortment of after-market trigger groups, and I swap them between 10/22's as they come and go. Most of them are Volquartsen, and the average price is just shy of $200 each. I am extremely pleased with them.
The factory triggers on 10/22's are at best, mediocre. At their worst, iss-pay oor-pay.
There's lots of defense of the newer plastic trigger groups that come on all the newer 10/22's, but after a lot of personal experience, the plastic trigger groups are even worse than the old aluminum trigger groups.
So, first of all, I applaud Ruger for offering up a better trigger. But, I imagine their motivation was caused by them realizing how much money they've missed out on in the after-market trigger sales. And, since these new trigger assemblies will cost the same to manufacture as do their factory-stock versions, I do hope all the new 10/22's will come from the factory with them already installed.
Next, as I've already stated, I have a number of Volquartsen trigger groups, all of aluminum construction, as well as others that I cannot recall the brand. They work wonderfully. I have seen advertised by other manufacturers, similar trigger groups with the plastic construction, and their claim is to be every bit as good as the Volquartsen triggers. I've never tried them, so I can only assume they are as good. On-line advertising is always truthful.
Time, as well as experience will tell us if these new Ruger triggers will be worth their weight, and I hope they are.
And since we're talking about triggers...All of the new-fangled magazine releases provided by Ruger as well as the after market ones, are a pain. I very much prefer the original magazine release. If the magazine decides to be a little resistant in releasing, you've already got a hold of it in your fingers, so a little tug is all it takes. Too many times with the "improved" release, the magazine does not fall free, and there's no way to grab the magazine to pull it free.
I suspect I will soon own at least one of these new Ruger triggers, but I also suspect they will be sold out the first day. A trigger to compete with a Volquartsen, for half the price, is a bargain.
That's all folks. 8)
WAYNO.

here's what I wrote in the other post on this subject:
I bet the bolt release is still the clunky funky wiggle method....
I'll probably order one... but it is a shame it takes Ruger this long to figure out the trigger on the 10/22 is awful and then their solution (which is a smart marketing idea I guess) is to sell you an after market part..... If they would put this trigger group in new rifles and just promote these to the millions of current 10/22 owners... that might work.

I applaud Ruger for offering this. They, like so many others suffered the "lawsuit disease" & had triggers that left a lot to be desired. They first improved the M77's, & now the 10/22's.

Since you might be the only person here who knows about it - why not provide some detail?
I just bought a 10/22 Takedown. I registered for the warranty online. Then I received an email from Ruger offering the new BX-Trigger before the Friday Dec 19th official release. I also received 20% off an order of $100 or more because I registered my new 10/22.
I just received the email from Ruger confirming my order and stating that my order had already shipped.
It'll be interesting to see how the new trigger is. My 10/22's measured 5.5 pounds on my Lyman digital trigger pull gauge.

Well it seems they ran out.... I just got an email telling me the trigger group has been back ordered......
I didn't try to order one, but I'm not surprised they sold quick.
All of mine already have their triggers re-worked and most are as good as the BX, so I can wait until I build another to try one... by that time we might have some real-world reviews.
