BnA Tacsport X vs PRO

[justpassingthru]

Looking to get either a Tacsport X or Pro X for my 2 Zermatt Origins (2 stage). My understanding is the 2 main differences are the pull weight range and the polished internals.

Anyone have both and could you tell a difference in the feel between the two from the Pro X having the better honing?

Also, from this Chart it seems that my Origin may need the low sear which I understand is going to cost even more money on top of the original purchase price.
Anyone run a Tacsport with a Zermatt action without issues?

Thanks

Bullet Central may swap the sears when ordering the trigger. I think I did that with one of mine. I run the Tacsport X on my two Bighorns but they needed the low sear.

What’s up with sear adjustment? I’m guessing each sear will also have a limited range of adjustment to fine tune the engagement with the cocking piece, is that right?

Sorry, I just run the Pro X. The adjustable sear and a spectacular 2 stage adjustment capability are worth every cent to me.

How do you like the feel of the trigger. I have TT diamonds and run them at about 1lb and like them well enough but am interested in the overtravel of the BnA. Just not sure if the Pro is worth $75 more

The triggers do have some adjustment range in addition to the ability to swap sears. I never cared for the TT’s I had so it was a welcome swap.

I was a TT diamond snob for many years. They offer a clean crisp break. What they don’t have is an adjustable sear, perfect adjustment of first stage movement, first stage pull weight and the Second stage weight ( 2 Stage triggers only ). I like a little travel in first stage at a low pull weight, then a wall and super clean break followed by a little travel ( helps me with follow through). I have switched all my bolt rifles from TT to BnA.

That’s what I’m thinking. Was more curious if there was actually a perceivable difference, or maybe a should say a “felt” difference between the two.
When your trigger is set below a pound, how much could one actually benefit from more polished surfaces,
Honest question, I actually don’t know. I’ll probably get the pro anyhow

I had several pros and then bought a regular tacsport on the px. The pro break is better, it's like someone pulled the rug out from under you. The top sear just provides a better fit to individual actions, to get perfect cocking piece engagement without being too much(drag) or too little(drops fp). Call bullet central, they will install whatever top sear you need for your action. This saves the 38.00 that an additional top sear would cost you.

I too would get the pro as I like my pull weights in the handful of ounces.
And just order it with the right sear in the first place for no extra coin.
The low sear is a good match for my three origins across several years of production.

you wont be able to tell the difference till you hit around 12oz or so

pro’s are just a little bit smoother, mainly due to the better internal sear.

Also, looking at getting the gator shoe. Currently have flat shoes on my TT. I’ve had a TT curved before but actually did not care for how steep the curve was, kinda cradled my finger too much if that makes sense. May sound weird but I didn’t like it.
Looks like the BnA curved shoes aren’t as steep. Can anyone confirm that?

Thanks for the info. I’m going to get the pro with the low sear. Looking forward to comparing it to the TT diamond

BnA tacsport X w/ gator shoe is all I have been buying for a while. Love that trigger.

 

[6brshooter]

Gator shoe is the bomb. It has enough tactile feel to help in colder weather with light pull weights.

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the picture, so helpful.

The TACSport has an adjustable pull weight of 250~2000 grams.

The TACSport Pro has an adjustable pull weight of 100~1000 grams.

According to BNA, the triggers feel and break the same. The only difference is their pull-weight adjustment range. Put another way, both triggers adjusted to 500 grams would feel the same.

The *X* version is supposed to have more polished internals. I can’t tell a difference.

Me neither, my older non-X models feel samsies as the newer-X, blue anodized is cool, and expensive I guess.

Same feel… more curb appeal.

Never tried the other versions, bought a pro X liked it so much I went all in. When I look at what one of these rifles cost, $50-$100 just doesn’t become a decision point. I started with straight blades that worked well on my TT. Tried the Gator and have them on all but one rifle and that may change.

Like you, I find the BnA to be a superior trigger to the TT for many reasons.

My firearms have two phases of trigger technology. I've experienced some problems, even though they feel fantastic and are simple to get used to. On two different occasions, it reliably hung fire after being exposed to hundreds of rounds in extremely dusty conditions. In one instance, we were able to fix it by running brake cleaner through it; in the other instance, we simply returned it. Because they are simpler to clean, some of the folks I shoot with have suggested the Bix N Andy. However, I'm intrigued by the Geiselle that form suggests, and I'll probably give it a go eventually.
