I put a Vq kit in mine and am quite pleased, now as “slick as goose grease”

 

I like the Kidd better. They offer several pull weights, as well as single and two-stage options.
The VQ was stated as about 2 1/4 pounds, and that was what mine was. It's a nice trigger if you don't need to go any lighter.

I just did a Volquartsen trigger kit plus in my 10/22 build and I'm not happy with it at all. Tons of creep. I installed one in another US Shooting Team 10/22 I have and that seems to be much better.
RimfireSS Youtube channel just did a test on all the available 10/22 triggers today.

 

Complete kits: Hammer, sear, disconnector and spring, blade, and only withVQ return spring plunger and spring.etc

Id say , either one , bias towards kidd. But! Since the both still rely on the oem design trigger return spring , id skipthem both. Forthesame money and less diy, a Brimstone BX will , imho, a better job. And get a cleaner crisper lighter trigger.
For less money, a 13$ wolfe spring kit and a 15$ metal trigger blade and polishing you can do the same job, as the kits.

My a$vice,soend the $400 andbuy the kidd 2 stage . Clearly a superior trigger.

Where do you get the wolf spring kit and the metal trigger blade for the 10/22? Thanks

 

I’ve had two of both and prefer the KIDD’s.

 

If you only wanted to spend $25-35, then the Volquartsen hammer & some careful polishing will do wonders. But in terms of drop in parts, I think your next move would be the Kidd parts plus their spring kit. I think the world of Volquartsen, but IMO, Tony Kidd raises the bar.

If I did this right, it will link to a current thread about The Best and Lightest complete triggers, but there is a bit of overlap and interesting thoughts included.

 

Two 10/22's: one with a Timney trigger and the other with a KIDD trigger kit.
Thought the KIDD would get the pull down but it is just under three ponds with the lightest spring.
Told by a gunsmith I probably would not do better than that.
I have a line on another gunsmith and the work and quality on a 10/22 was impressive.

 

I have always added to the Kidd trigger Kit, the Kidd Pull Weight Tuning Kit and installed the lightest spring. While the plunger is out, put it in a drill chuck and round off the square shoulder & polish it smooth. Further on the round end of the hammer strut, improve the rounding and polish. You may wish to cold blue when you are done. The Kidd parts should give a pretty nice crisp trigger at 1.5 pounds or less.

 

Thank you for the information.
