Rifles basix or SSS triggers?

[kayaker]

Hi all,

Who here has used the Rifle Basix Sav1 and SSS Competition triggers?

Which do you think is a better trigger?

I have read mostly very good reports about each one...perhaps a few more negatives about the RB.

This will be dropped into my Mod 11 package rifle in .308, which I am upgrading. (I have done the spring replacement on the stock trigger but am still not happy with it)

More than happy with my Sav 2 trigger.

It is my limited understanding that the SSS trigger improves lock times because the sear does not
drag across the trigger. If someone that is more in the know could confirm or tell me that I am full of it, please do so :)

Have the Sav2 and the SSS,think the SSS is a much nicer trigger and cheaper

I've doctored the originals with OK results but for the last 25+ I have built - it has been SSS without question - never a problem.

SSS Competition vs RB Sav-1: In my opinion the SSS is better.

SSS Competition vs RB Sav-2: It depends on the application. I find the SSS a better multi-purpose trigger, but for a dedicated bench gun I prefer the Sav-2.

I have shot rifle basix triggers in remington and compared to my SSS competition triggers in my savages I prefer the competition trigger. What are you trying to do?

Wow! Different answers on the Sav-2 versus the SSS -- I think the Sav-2 is supposed to go to lower ounces! Can each of you give us a little more detail why you liked your respective choice???

I will stop there. There is hundreds of other pages to look at.

Never tried the SSS, but I do like my Riflebasix 2

thanks, 82boy: I went and read every one of the ones you posted. Learned a lot. Sounds like each has its good and bad points, dpeneding on the intended usage and needs.

Thanks for doing that work for us. Never realized things are re-dicussed so often

Thanks for all the info guys,

One question about the SSS - The intended use is for hunting, so about 3 lbs that is crisp would be ideal. I see the SSS Competiton maxes out at 2lbs. Have any of you found this too light?

Is there sufficient sear engagement to keep the trigger safe if it is accidentally knocled hard for example?

Thanks

I find that 2lbs is good,
No worry about a safe trigger, the safety will slide back before the gun will fire.

Also the sear engagement is adjustable. You can increase sear engagement if you want. It's very easy to do.

I hunt in Alberta, so it can be cold.
Gloves will definately be worn at some point.
