Bix’n Andy Savage

[Deputy819]

I just ordered a 22 BR-A barrel from Brad yesterday and received a model 10 action from J&A Outdoors last week. When I get everything put together and get to shooting I’ll post up what I think of the Bix N Andy Tacsport trigger.

Any updates on the trigger?

Given my experience with the Rifle Basix and Jard triggers for Savage... I'm willing to give B&A a go.

I have a SAV-2 in mine.
Best I was able to come up with a couple of years ago. Sometimes acts like two-stage, as there is point where it "sticks" and holds in the travel.

My barrel came in this past Friday and I haven’t yet had the time to put everything together. I’m off work tomorrow and Tuesday and hope to get everything assembled, headspaced, bedded, etc and see what happens.

Make sure the trigger pin is in the middle hole on the frame. Makes it alot easier to adjust and set safely, I own and have setup many.

Thanks. I'll recheck to ensure it is.

Okay…..so I got my 22 BR-A assembled last week and did a couple seating depth tests with it, but have yet to work on the powder charge. So only @ 20 rounds down the pipe with the new Bix N Andy TacSport. The install of the trigger was pretty simple other than having to polish the factory trigger pin for proper fitment. No real “biggee” there, though. ZERO fitment issues with the Oryx chassis……dropped right in with plenty of clearance. The trigger breaks like the proverbial glass rod and has ZERO creep. I do not have a trigger pull gauge, but where I have it set it “feels” lighter than the factory Savage Target trigger on my 6 BR-A….which I have adjusted to its lowest safe operating window. That could be the difference between ball bearing vs. lever/pin mechanics though. The single pull weight adjustment screw on the Bix works well and the trigger responds accordingly. The instruction manual I have says that adjustment screw WON’T come out…..but mine sure does. Not sure what’s up with that. I’d recommend a dot of blue Loc-Tite on that puppy once you have it where you want it. Finally, I haven’t encountered any operational problems/issues thus far between the Bix and the “clunky” Savage action (easy fellas….I’m a “Savage Guy” ) and overall I’m very pleased with it. Is it worth the “premium price” I paid for it? I struggle to put a definitive answer to that question, but I’m glad I bought it/have it nonetheless.
