Which is the better route to go?
Brimstone tier 2 or kidd trigger kit?

I'm not ready to spend the money on a complete kidd trigger group yet.

No experience with the Brimstone kit.

Put a Kidd trigger kit in my 10/22 and it is freakin' awesome. Has multiple springs so you can "tune" the pull somewhat. Added the poly/nylon bolt buffer, the bolt hold open device, and the long extended mag release and now have a kick ass 10/22. The long mag release comes down along the trigger guard and looks similar to the action lever on the Ruger #1. This set up allows me to be able to drop an empty mag without moving my shooting hand. The bolt stop only requires using the left hand on the lock back. Once the new mag is in, a simple pull/release ala the Garand (sort of) drops the bolt and you are ready to rock.

Don't know the price difference between the two options, but would definitely buy the Kidd again were I in the market for a 10/22 trigger. ymmv

Kidd>Brimstone

Brimstone is bang for the buck. If it said Geissele, I’d spend $125 on it lol.

You’re paying for first rate, hand polished, unadvertised services. Kidd gets you that extra luxury of the name and it’s about 7% better.

Fact is most people will never feel the difference. I have the budget brimstone set to the sweet spot and I’m sending out 3 others. Bang for the buck can’t be beat and it’s a steal

A KIDD single stage would be comparable to a Brimstone Tier 1. For the cost, I don’t think you can beat a Brimstone tuned trigger.  I have a couple of Tier 3 triggers,  one Tier 2 and couldn’t be happier.  I’d suggest at least a Tier 2 so you get the Brimstone aluminum trigger.

I have both and both are great, my vote would be brimstone tier 2, trigger is nice, bolt release mod but the best improvement comes from the reurn spring mod makes it very smooth. Kidd is really top notch and their complete triggers are awesome (I have 2)
