Hopefully the triggers are tweaked to work properly as well.

I have a Bridger 160, which out of the box was truly horrible. The trigger wires would travel nearly 3 inches.......of just flop back and forth hanging loose......before trap would fire. Could not tune it, so replaced entire wire clip assembly with one for a Belisle 220..........and that fixed it. Will stay set, yet fires easy..........and as 160's go, is a real hammer. Don't care much for the safeties, but with new trigger.......it is an effective trap.

About 10 years ago I bought half a dozen Bridger 330 Magnums. Because of the spring eyes, they were nearly impossible for me to get set, even with setters. I got so mad at one one day I came real close to chucking it out in the lake. I never used them again after that trapline. I suppose they're around here somewhere. After that experience I went to 100% Belisles and never looked back.

All BGs that allow the spring eyes to go over/around the corners are a PIA!!!!!

Years ago, before my 100% Belisle SuperX days, I've lost a couple of hard fighting otters to that design in 330s.

I have few Bridger 330's and I catch beaver in them every year. But like my other 330's I do a little work on the trigger and they seem to work fine.
