Bix n Andy triggers question

[Jet]

A lot of great points already made here, and all true in my opinion. One thing nobody has mentioned or asked themselves... Are my rifles agging better since the "upgrade"? Mine have!

Tom

Will test in 2017. Hope it improves aggs.

 

[Jet]

I hope it does too. Wait, it depends were you're shooting lol!

Tom

Wish I new. My work schedule has me traveling more than I care to in 2017. 2 trips to Deep Creek and one or two others should be doable.

Larry. It is called a Haag-Streit Correx Gauge made by Haag-Streit International in Switzerland. There is a 30 grams model and a 100 gram model. Cost is $245.00 for the 30 and $525.00 for the 100 gram. It can measure in Grams/Pond or Centinewton. There is no way to get an accurate reading with anything but this gauge. A Lyman digital trigger gauge will not give you an accurate reading.

Before you buy the gauge new check Ebay. Found mine there for $40 shipped. In excellent condition and seems to work like a top. It only measures in grams though. Easy enough to convert over to ounces.

I was wondering kind of the same thing. What tool can one use to measure or quantify this?

"The consistency of the trigger break is within 0.03 ounce..."​

I don't know if I can honestly say the rifle is shooting better with a B&A vs a Jewell. One weekend I will shoot lights out, the next weekend not so good. Nobody can explain it. The conditions are never the same twice let's face it. Some days things just go your way for whatever reason. There are a million different variables that people keep guessing at. Nobody knows for sure what's what. Like I said you can't honestly explain to anybody why one weekend you kicked everyone's ass and the next weekend you got your ass handed to you. IMO the only way you could tell if the rifle shoots better is to take all the human error out of the equation. Shooting in a machine rest, in a tunnel, say shooting five 10 round groups each with each trigger then measuring the results.

When asked about my shooting, I always reply "Some days I'm the dog, and some days I'm the fire hydrant."

Well Pappy, since u put it that way I was a fire hydrant about half of the year.

Maybe a bit off topic, but I find it interesting you guys overseas see only a bit of work Andy (owner) do. I am from country next to his, have 200 miles to his shop, so I wisited him personally. He is very bussy, but he took 2 hours to show me his shop. All I can say is impressive! Would say more than 2.000 square meters big shop, 6 employees at moment. He is VERY picky about his workers, he said one thousand of milimeter MUST be important for them. Only best workers can work for him. He has a LOT of knowledge people are not aware of, but beside triggers he makes his own actions (target and hunting), triggers, dies (own design), stocks (wood and carbon), carbon bedding blocks and cut riffled barrels (will give it a try). Complete rifles minus optics. His wife is making custom bullets on niemi dies. All that stuff he makes in house, he has a lot of machines and operates them all. Right now he is building new cut rifling machine, his own design. Top gunsmith. Very kind type of person. Did I told you I own his trigger?

Thanks for the tip; always glad to save a bunch of money on the good stuff!

FYI, 28.35 grams = 1 ounce. So, fellow forum readers, depending on what you want to measure with these precision gauges, you should plan accordingly. If your F-Class and/or tactical rifle have trigger weights of 2.5 pounds, then you're going to need a gauge that measures at least 1,134 grams.

Correct, but these gauges are measuring very light pull weights. 1.5 or 2 ounces ect. If you're going to be measuring pounds regular pull gauges will work. Also there are plenty of conversion programs on the internet to convert what you have to what you need, just pick one and type in the numbers.

Not necessarily measuring just very light pull weights. I have a variety of rifles, with trigger pull weights ranging from 1.5 ounces (call it 42 grams) to 5 pounds (underwhelming Geissele units on a couple of high-end AR types). And many in between...

And then there are the handguns! It would be nice to have one gauge to measure them all; I'm not real impressed with the Lyman digital gauge, although it's an improvement over an RCBS thing I bought 20 years ago.

Does anyone know anything about the Bix and Andy Dakota refurbished triggers for Remington 700
As to why they were refurbished and how reliable they are
Thanks

Dkk37058, this is a 6 year old thread! But a good question. I saw them. Hmmm can't get out of bold type.​

Can I get a B&A trigger for my Tikka T2x in 223 cal?
