Best 10/22 Trigger 2024

Being obsessed with accurate shooting, you are eager to know everything about your firearm and means, which can be upgraded and help to improve the shot results in the field.

One of the most important gun components is the trigger, pushing it, hitting-the-target mission works that can be appropriate for competition and tactical shooters, as well as recreational enthusiasts.

Why do we need a Ruger 10/22 trigger?

The smoother trigger, the more accurate shooting. Most triggers are single-action, which are mechanically the simplest type, disengage a sear, allowing for releasing spring-tensioned hammer/striker. The Ruger 10/22 is equipped with a bit stiff traditional trigger pull (approximate 7-8 lbs), that’s why it is better to upgrade it with a replaced trigger part, featuring smooth and crisp pull, and light trigger pull weight.

My love of guns is in my blood, since childhood I have spent hours enjoying the beauty of guns and adored going through their parts.

Tactical accessories are another passion of mine that I could write about endlessly - my house and garage are full of tactical gadgets, luckily my family shares my interests.

I'm infatuated with traveling that's why work at one place with a daily routine and standard schedule is not for me. I prefer copywriting and English tutoring as a freelancer. I live in a male family among constant talks about cars, guns, hunting, fishing, and, of course, dinosaurs 😊.

My husband is an obsessed hunter, and my two sons are fans of «Demolition Ranch» of YouTube blogger Matt Carriker. They are my best consultants about weapon and all-around ammunition topics. All together we share a love for adventures. Every camping or mounting hiking trip is a "small survival", giving irreplaceable experiences. Nothing can be better than the satisfaction of observing wild nature.
