I hope not! Brimstone, Kidd and others can get you down to a 1 pound or slightly less trigger pull. I don't think you would want anything lighter on a semi-automatic.
If you want a light trigger at certain times and a heavier at other times why not get a new trigger assembly and simply swap them out depending on need. Not a major problem since we are talking about two pins.

I use a KIDD two-stage trigger in a 10/22 clone KIDD receiver and barrel, that is the most wonderful trigger at 8 oz. that I have EVER pulled on this style of rifle. I assembled this system as a bench gun, and soon will be running it through some rigorous testing. Warm weather is approaching, and as soon as that happens, I have a ton of various .22 rimfire ammunition that I want to test in it. Some of this ammunition involves the sublime, and then again, some is ridiculously priced match ammunition, only to prove, or disprove, if there's any value with the expenditure for that "gourmet stuff".

Then buy a second one.area51guy said:
Have one with a super light trigger, and one "standard".
If we were talking about a $1,000 gun, it might be different.
Isn't that what I suggested a couple of posts ago?Pat-inCO said:

I "get" what area51guy is wanting...
a normal 3lb trigger for when a quick hot is needed and then an oz trigger when a steadied, dilberate shot is being made.
I don't think the value of the gun is the limitation, but for what the use of the gun is for. that is, is there a situation where both types are needed? for large game rifle, yes. for 22, I am not sure.
that said, if someone did make such a trigger, say for under $300, I might get one

Would be nice but it would probably be easier and about the same cost to just have two rifles.... one of the advantages of the 10/22 is there is no conceivable reason to have just one...
The thing that brought the question to mind is a Winchester Low Wall rifle I have in 22 Winchester Magnum. It is a custom, has a high roll over comb, a relined 26" barrel, a 4.5x - 20x scope and the aforementioned set trigger. It is very convenient to be able to use it on small varmints and then be able to use the set trigger function for target shooting. This rifle is extremely accurate, and, on a good day with no wind can put 5 shots under a dime at 100 yds (if I do my part!). So, moving on to the 10/22 Target rifle, I can't help but believe that a similar functionality would make the Ruger more useful as well. The search goes on!

I have had a Kidd trigger in my 10-22 since they were first available. Happy with that in has never caused a AD. A completion trigger should never be used for hunting as they are too light. For safety out stumbling around in the fields and woods it is best to have heavy trigger. You can't be to cautious!

I dunno, did you?Fox Mike said:
The way I read it, you said multiple trigger assemblies,
and I said multiple guns.
To me, I can pick up a different gun and shoot it, much more quickly than
taking one gun, doing a disassembly, change parts, and reassemble.

All of the above pros and cons (including mine) are interesting but the OP asked if there is a set trigger available for the 10/22. As far as I know, there is not.
Just to be fair to Ruger, the trigger in my 10/22 Target is quite good. I don't think it is one of the new BX triggers, but the pull, overtravel, reset, etc feels about the same as the BX. The search for a (preferably) single set trigger is primarily an engineering exercise. I like having things that are just a bit different! The search goes on!
