Which Trigger

I am in the process of building a personal rifle and was a little stuck on Trigger choice. I have experience with Trigger Tech Diamond Single Stage but have no experience with a BixnAndy Tacsport X Single Stage. If anyone has experience with both of these triggers, can you please comment which one you liked better and why? I do like the TT Diamond, no creep and breaks like glass, but for a few dollars more I can get the BnA, this is going in a Kelbly Nanook L/A.

You may want to touch base with Kelbly before you decide. There have been some issues with Trigger Techs and the Nanook hanger. I believe they recommend the B&A.

I contacted Ian, and he mentions "It's not an issue with Trigger hangers. We have seen issues with Trigger Tech with any of our actions. They have batch to batch variations in their sear heights and has caused either skating or hard close of the bolts. Trigger Tech has been great with customers about replacing triggers that don't work properly. They are also the most installed trigger in our actions, so there are elevated cases of trigger issues just based on shear volume.". I have installed TT in three Kelbly actions, two diamonds in two Atlas Tactical and one Special in an Atlas Lite, no issues so far.

That's good to hear. I'm going to put a TT diamond in my Nanook and test drive it.
 
From what I can gather you cannot go wrong with either Trigger. I own two TT Diamond and a Jewel, if Jewel was still in business, I would probably have a dealership with them. I just have never tried a B&A, I have been thinking of buying one, but my discount with B&A is not near as much as TT. They are both available down to 3 and 4 ounces, so my next thought is the cost between the two, if B&A would give me the same discount I would probably give them a try.
 
Jewell…..oh wait, they don't make those anymore….a real shame.
Yes it is a shame! I have at least a dozen Jewells and was really disappointed when they had their problems! I have a couple of TT Diamonds but for the most part have been buying Jard Triggers…..the last 2 are in Tikka T3x Tact A1s both set at 4 oz…..also have them in several M70s and a M98 Custom all set 12-14 ozs…..I can completely remove any creep and the break if Very Nice! To me they feel more like a Jewell than the TTs do! Can't compare TT to B&A but will say after having the TTs for several years, I'm not sold on them after using Jewells for well over 20 years! Just Sayin!
 
I've got both and like them both. BnA does adjust a wee bit lighter, but not a dealbreaker for me. In match competition though, the only trigger I have seen go down........BnA. It's actually the only trigger I have seen have problems in competition. It didn't make me pull mine out.
 
I went ahead and pulled the trigger on the TT Diamond this afternoon, this is going in a hunting rifle and I will adjust it down in the off season around .5 pound and during season adjust it up at 1 to 1.5lbs during hunting season. Thanks everyone for adding your experience with the two triggers, it basically came down to what price I can get it with my dealer discount. I received my dealer from Bullet Central yesterday and they just did not provide a better dealer cost over TT. I may still try one out in the near future, but with the Diamond and the Tacsport/Pro basically adjusting down to the same weight, I just went with the best purchase price.
