Hey everyone, this is my first post here so bare with me. I hope I got in in the right spot. Still trying to get used to this forum. Ok here we go. I’ve always used Trigger tech triggers on my builds and now im in need of a new trigger im curious about the Bix’n Andy one. How do they compare and is one really better then the other one? Thanks Michael.
Hey Michael,
I can try to answer that for you. The core differences between a Bix and Trigger Tech would be that Bix’n Andy uses their patented ball bearing system in all their triggers, which results in a crisp and consistent trigger break.
All of the Bix’n Andy models offer adjustable pull weights, and their Tacsport and Competition models offer sear engagement adjustability. The ability to adjust the sear is huge for a custom rifle. This allows the end user to truly tune the trigger to their specific action, making the break as crisp and consistent as possible.
One other feature that is unique to the Bix’n Andy line up is that they are able to be dissembled and cleaned. Having the ability to take the trigger apart and clean it is pivotal to having a reliable trigger. Whether you are on a hunt, at the range, or competing this is a major benefit. There is nothing worse than being in a match or out on a hunt you have invested time and money into and you are not 100% certain your trigger is going to function or goes down when you need it most.

In my experience, the Bix N Andy is a fine trigger, The “pull” feels “different” to me from the Trigger Techs. The Bix N Andy can be confusing to adjust (Tac Sport), The TT , jts twist and go.
I like the TT Diamond’s

As Buzzsaw said the Bix n Andy do feel different, still crisp but different. I personally run the Trigger Tech in my rifles, maybe just because I’m used to them. The TT is adjustable as well. I adjust mine to 1.5 pounds, sweet spot for me. Cleaning the the TT is as simple as using a little lighter fluid and a little compressed air. Mine have performed well over time and after shooting a friends Bix n Andy I will stick with the Trigger Tech. Bix n Andy has a higher price tag as well.
It all boils down to personal preference. Find someone that runs one that will let you shoot it and try it out. If you like it, run with it.(not literally)
If not, stick with what you know.

Thank you Dallas. I think I’ll what to be able to try one first.

If you’re trying to shoot benchrest the Bix’n Andy Competition is the one. PRS you go with the TT Diamond. I also like the Timney hit.
Hi everyone,
TriggerTech makes a very good trigger, but the strongest case for Bix’n Andy is tunability, extremely low release-force capability, and serviceability. Almost all Bix’n Andy triggers (with the exception of the Dakota) use a patented true ball bearing system that allows very low release force, with adjustable pull weights from 100 g to 1,000 g, and they specifically state it can be customized to a rifle system’s exact specifications. They also state the lighter TacSport Pro is more elaborately machined, then polished and tested by hand.
Another point in Bix’n Andy’s favor is maintenance. Their own manuals explicitly say good maintenance can include opening the trigger and cleaning it, and that the trigger is designed to run dry rather than lubricated. That is a real, concrete advantage for shooters who want a premium trigger that can actually be serviced instead of treated like a sealed black box.
Where TriggerTech deserves credit is that their entire design philosophy is centered on eliminating sliding friction through their patented free-floating roller system. Their official material emphasizes “zero creep”, with a tactile reset, easy pull-weight adjustment, sealed housings, and strong contamination resistance.
I use a Bix’n Andy trigger and the distinction is pretty simple: TriggerTech’s strongest argument is simplicity and a consistent break. Bix’n Andy’s strongest argument is a more competition-oriented trigger with deeper tuning potential, very low release-force capability, and documented serviceability. If someone wants a highly refined trigger that can be tailored more closely to a specific precision rifle setup, that is where Bix’n Andy has the stronger case.
Full disclosure, I work at Bullet Central and I do have an affiliation with Bix’n Andy, so take that for what it’s worth. But a lot of my view on this also comes from conversations with top PRS shooters who are actually running this stuff hard.
Both are great triggers. TriggerTech is simpler, and a lot of shooters like that. Bix’n Andy gives you more adjustability across the line, and at the very light end I’m not aware of another trigger that will go lower than the Competition.
People often say Bix is more complicated to adjust, but I think that’s overstated. There’s more adjustment there because there’s more precision there. Once you’ve spent a little time with one, it’s pretty straightforward.
The PRS guys I know who prefer Bix are usually the ones who want full responsibility for their equipment. They want to be able to take the trigger apart, inspect it, clean it, and set it exactly how they want it. They really get to know their trigger and partner with it for years.
That mindset shows up a lot at the top level. When Austin Buschman talked us through his match rifle setup after winning the 2025 finale, he told us that the Bix trigger he runs is the first one he ever got which was the original Tacsport.
To me, that’s the real difference. TriggerTech suits the shooter who wants maximum simplicity. Bix suits the shooter who wants maximum adjustability, serviceability, and control.
Bit late to the game but here is my 2cents
I started with the Triggertech diamond (have had maybe 4) both single and 2 stage flat and pro curved.
I shot the Triggertech my entire first PRS season. In the middle of the match it just decided to stop dropping the sear. No warning, just stopped working. I was pretty frustrated, and started looking, I came to Bix.
I am not going to deceive you by saying a bix can’t fail in the field. But, they have the option of preventative maintenance to avoid it. Or if you like to live on the wild side, the trigger will give you warning signs it’s about to fail. I don’t recommend this approach 
Triggertech did replace the trigger and has great CS and makes a great trigger. But the control and agency over your equipment is what started my towards the bix.
The feel is also very different. Triggertech is more abrupt of a break, and doesn’t have any slack after the breaks. The slack after the brake in the bix helps me with follow through.
The ability to maintain and ensure reliability paired with preferred feel of the bix have kept me coming back.

I’m with @magnum on this. I had several TT diamonds just give up mid match (I’m a slow learner, or was heavily invested, depending on your perspective).I had used a BnA comp trigger in benchrest rifles so I switched to a tacsport pro x in all of my comp rifles. I would not use another TT if I was given one. It is imperative that a trigger be user serviceable unless a user intends to replace the trigger every few matches. After a couple of matches in the dust of Oklahoma, do you want to take your trigger apart and clean it or do you want to send it to Canada as a warranty return? I know which one I prefer and it doesn’t involve shipping.
