I have the Hornet, my son has the Volquartsen. Darn hard to tell the difference.... in fact, the Hornet might be just a bit crisper.

If you have an older 10/22 with the cast aluminum trigger housing, send it to them, and they'll fix it up for about $70. Their complete drop-in assemblies run from about $90 on up, and come in the plastic trigger housings.

Don't have one but heard lots of good things about them around the web. If your looking to spend a $100 it's your only choice in that price range anyway..

I have the "B" trigger assembly. Had it for about 4 years now, and conservatively 2,000 rounds. Never a hiccup.

Kidd the the creme de la creme bar none! One will be used on a current build. As for the VQ and others...well, I have the VQ TG2000 and won't buy another. You're basically paying for the housing and name as the trigger itself, the feel of it I should say, is no better than the GOOD reworks by the likes of TT Shooter and Brimstone and they're 1/2 the price if not more. Now besides those two there's Jard. It is simply fan-freakin-tastic! 8) Worth it's cost 100%! Haven't tried a Hornet yet but hear good things about them. I recently tried one of the new Kidd DIY kits and I must say it is awesome - THE best DIY kit going (and I've tried a few)
LOTS of folks ask and only ever know the common names and never look at anything else. I really believe that the vast majority of those wanting the fancy named trigger would be more than satisfied and quite impressed with just the basic hammer change.

I did the BBT-Special Edition-2.5 adding the overtravel trigger set and it is just as they advertise it. No pretravel, breaks crisply @ 2.1 to 2.3 lbs with just enough overtravel to reset reliably. Would get another one in a heartbeat. Arrived USPS on Monday after ordering on the Friday b4.

I got the same one in on Friday except I had them build mine in gray to match my stainless. It feels wonderful, most likely the nicest trigger I have ever felt.

I cannot way for next weekend to hit the range with it? :) :twisted: :shock:
