What ever trigger I fit to the Panda will be set at 2oz, while the trigger in the Pierce will be set around 8 Oz. What is the real world benefit of a more expensive Bix,n Andy over the jewel? So far I have one trigger (a Jewel) for either and am looking for another. One is a Panda in 6 Dasher for 1000yd LG + 6PPC for BR, the other is a Pierce in 300WSM for F Class. I am told that the B&A will stand reliably at under an ounce. I decide when I want the shot to happen, and the gun goes off. Now, when I am shooting, the trigger does not even enter my mind. For me, after a certain point, lighter is not better, but smoother and more consistent are. I have been shooting it that way for some time now, and can report that it is a real pleasure. I also decided that letting my trigger setting be determined by some arbitrary number was silly, so I set it up so that it felt right, whatever the weight might be. After trying the B&A for a while, I decided to change the weight and ended up using the next heavier trigger spring from the one that was installed originally. When I got my B&A it was set at about 1 1/4 oz. The best way that I can describe the feel is that I do not think about my trigger at all. Although I am not dissatisfied with the Jewel, I like the B&A better. i know a lot of guys who run them with no problems, and i've also seen/heard of a handful going down mid-match just like mine.I have both, B&A and Jewel. that's just my personal story with a BnA. but if a 16th of a turn on a tiny set screw or a little bit of moisture is the difference between a dead/dangerous trigger then count me out. so i'm just going to admit maybe i'm too stupid to own a BnA. they ensured me there was nothing wrong with the trigger, i just didn't have it tuned properly. The gun would dry fire fine, but as soon as i put a mag in and went to go shoot the damn thing, it wouldn't work. one of the times the trigger was dead, i went to recock the bolt and the sear dropped and the gun went off (still on target thankfully). Then i shot a rainy morning match at the SE finale - dead trigger 3 stages in a row at the beginning of the match. Shot two matches (dry weather) - no issues. went back inside and re checked sear engagement. Re checked all the adjustments and got it working during dry fire. so i took it all apart and cleaned and dried all the internals. after hours of not getting the trigger to work i finally took it apart and realized some cleaning solution must have made it's way down into the trigger. okay, so I didn't have it tune quite right, kept messing with it. I started getting dead trigger every couple dry fires. ** at the same time, i had just cleaned the rifle/action ** following the instructions and adjusting the sear engagement after adjusting pull weight. First I tightened up the first stage, then went to work on dropping the 2nd stage down just a few oz. I decided to adjust the stage pulls a little bit on the BnA. I used to run a Timney CE 2 stage and i really did miss having a two stage trigger. I bought it, put it on my action and dry fired with it for a few evenings before changing any settings.

A few months ago I decided i wanted to try a BnA tacsport pro because I knew 2-3 guys running them that really liked them. And I don't believe the TT 2 stage is going to offer that feature.

While the TT is adjustable, to my knowledge the sear engagement is not adjustable on it. With my BnA, I was able to get the correct sear engagement to suit the bolt action, they're a perfect pair. My Mausingfield feels better than almost any other action I've handled (which is a lot). It's a bit surprising how big of a difference there is. His bolt lift and close is considerably heavier than mine. My Mausingfield feels world's better than his - and I think the biggest factor is how the trigger is mated to the action. His has a Huber, mine has a BnA Tacsport. Myself and a friend both have Mausingfields purchased from the same gunsmith of the same vintage. This can have a dramatic effect on how your bolt action feels. Besides having the ability to completely tailor the trigger to you, you can tailor it to the gun with the different sear heights available as well as the sear engagement. The BnA is nice and crisp, with great adjustability.

The extra trigger control you get with a 2 stage trigger is pretty understated. I've said it before and I'll say it again - the single best gear related decision I've made in this hobby is swapping from a single stage TT to a two stage BnA Tacsport.
