BnA Trigger Break

[Gil P.]

What's your trigger break feel like for those who have one?
Mine feels odd... there's no creep, but it doesn't break like a glass rod like my CG Xtreme. The CG has a very sharp, crisp break, the BnA just kind of pulls through.

Mine has a crisp break but there is over travel.

Same experience as me. Its goood. But doesnt have that glass rod feel of my TT diamond or my Huber 2 stage. Cant wait to try the tt 2 stage soon. It might be like the above post said though. That extra pull thru mush feeling that makes it feel odd??

That's why I run a bix. Every other high end trigger has a glass break as the trigger shoe drops away with over travel. The bix barely moves. I filmed a Jewell and the bix to demonstrate it

Yes, the bix barely moves, unlike the CG Xtreme that has significant over travel, but the break feels like a sharp snap.

Your bix feels like it just "breaks" then? No sharp break?

Mine has very little over travel. What other triggers can you compare the break to?

Mine is crisp, but it doesn't have that glass rod snapping feel.

Switched to B&A no regrets at all.

That's exact how mine feels. Looks like it's just a personal preference thing. The break feels good, just different than what I'm used to.

The 2 stage Diamond is quite amazing man. The short first stage a glass rod break on the second is super nice.

yep - that about summarizes it

 

[craigos]

still think the tubb t7t is the nicest rem 700 compat trigger, TT diamond is now in second place ....

TT Diamond 1 & 2 stage. They both break and stop. My Bix has a nice break but then there is some mushy over travel.

You're right, it's like the overtravel is pushing the trigger back into place. Most other triggers have a weightless dead space feeling in their over travel.

So you guys are feeling this while the rifle is recoiling?

 

[Gil P.]

The different type of trigger break is all I feel.

The only other trigger that I can compare it to is an electronic trigger. The weight doesn't change when the seer breaks which means your muscles don't change under follow through. This is why they use electronic triggers in Olympic pistols where the trigger has a lot more emphasis on the shot

Thanks man. Appreciate the feedback. Cant wait to get one for next years hunting build on a Kratos lite. Now to decide if going with an Iota EKO or Mesa altitiude.

That is an interesting comparison. The Bix certainly resembles an E-trigger in that there is just no movement at all of the trigger pad instigated by the trigger after the trigger breaks. It doesn't kick forward, jump backward, or feel like it falls away. I think the Bix feels better than the E-triggers that I have felt in that the break point itself is more definate and cleaner feeling though. I agree with many here that Bix triggers feel amazing.

As for those who feel the Bix is mushy after the break, you are mashing though the trigger and should practice your trigger pull technique with some dry firing. That, or you have it set at something like 4lbs. In the .5-2lb range the impression of no movement will be a strong and unusual one. Having no overtravel stop such as with the Bix, seems to be sort of a European thing. I have noticed pretty much all the overseas made triggers lack this. When it comes to lighter weight precision and match rifle triggers, I think they are probably right in this. Having the same spring tension on your finger pre and post break is probably better than having a solid wall 1/32nd of an inch worth of movement or so past the break point as is common in the U.S. I think overtravel stops are good on heavy, not so great triggers but not so much on lighter cleaner ones.

I can't remember where but I read an explanation on why Bix has the overtravel they do. It's by design and supposed to aid in accuracy. Basically if you hit a hard stop or there is no overtravel you can pull the shot as the trigger brakes and you keep pulling but the trigger doesn't move.


Lots of guys don't like Jewells for the same reason and complain about them feeling mushy...


Personal preference comes into play.


I personally like my Jewell...have a Bix coming. Ordered a Dakota for now. If I like it, it'll go-to a hunting gun and I will put a tac-sport in the new rig. If I don't, I will try a TT Diamond.

My only experience with high quality European triggers is Anschutz 2 stage match triggers. I noticed the same exact thing and I much prefer it to the hard overtravel stop that so many American shooters think is necessary.

I do not notice it when shooting. I mentioned it because it is there. I only experience it if I look for it. It’s almost like the third stage of the trigger. If you mash the trigger you will feel it. If you have a good trigger press you won’t notice it. But it is a different feel than the TT.

 

[spife7980]

I had a tacsport pro and a diamond.
I now have three tac sport pros and a diamond.

Whats up doc had the best description of the rug all of the sudden pulled out from under you. You of course feel the weight on the wall before it breaks but you dont feel it break, you just sort of notice that its gone.

The diamond you can feel it sort of like a step function and you can feel exactly where its at in each step and the bix is a smooth curve that you just sort of slide down.
