Trigger Test

[DR33]

I am new to this, so forgive me if this has already been done and discussed, but has Ryan and Form done a drop test on the Bix and Andy trigger? It seems that the only truly safe trigger in the Rem 700 and clones is the Geissele 700, which doesn't seem to be available anymore, so I am looking for other options.
Thanks

I’ve had no issues with Triggertech. I own 4 of them. Use them for competition and hunting.

I personally have not had an issue with the few 700s I have owned over the years, but had some concerns after hearing a discussion about potential discharges during drop tests on some 700 triggers. I am planning a new build and want the safest combination I can put together.
Thanks for your input.

Both of these trigger actually block the firing pin when on safe and not just stock the actual trigger from moving.

Accurate for both, with a couple of caveats. The XTSP is the easiest to make unsafe via user adjustments of all two-stage triggers BigJimFish tested on SH. And the Tubb will require some additional inletting to your bottom metal or stock.

Also a wildcard is the fact that Geissele appears to have finished their redesign of the Super 700 trigger since it's offered in the new rifle they just came out with.

I have 5 bix triggers and two in the mail right now. They're my preferred option. They break clean but more importantly they're serviceable. I am encouraged to clean it. I can change shoes for 30 bux. I can get different sear heights.....it's the right answer for me.

Drop test? No. However, I am using a B&A TacSport. It fees fine, however is one of the most sensitive to debris and freezing of any aftermarket trigger I have used. Going from being in the cold, to a warm truck or house for a few minutes and the rifle sweating, back to outside in the cold results in light strikes or a frozen trigger over half the time. I also had some light strikes from heavy dust last year.

Additionally in one of the S2H classes we took @Dioni A Tikka and poured sand/gravel into the trigger and action to see what happened. Action was a but touch cycling, and the trigger weight increased for a few shots- but worked fine. He shot it for an hour so so, then poured water from a bottle into it. Went straight back to normal after that.

We did the same to the Bix N Andy TacSport, and it immediately locked up with a dead trigger. After 4-6 cycles and pulls it cleared and fired, but would intermittently get a dead trigger until it was flushed.

Are these BnA triggers in Tikkas? If not are BnA for Tikkas the same as the ones for Rem 7oo's reliability wise?

No, the one I used is an R700.

No, the one I used is an R700.

So no experience w/Tikka BnA?
I have one and it has worked fine 1000+ rounds, but no real harsh conditions. If there are issues i will get a factory single stage Tikka trigger. I got the BnA to replace a 2 stage Tikka, that i did not like.

 

[Dioni A]

Can confirm he did throw sand and gravel in my Action. Lol.
Surprisingly, it wasn’t the sand that fowled up @Formidilosus trigger. There was enough room for a 50% smaller than pea sized piece of gravel to get inside the trigger and lock it up. The trigger seemed very exposed to debris.

No experience with B&A Tikka triggers.
