[QUOTE="mrb1982, post: 738467, member: 50419"] I guess if I were to analyze my shooting to explain it, I would say that one some of my "not so good shots" it seems as if the added time and energy on the pull causes me to lose the good sight picture I may have had for one, or all the added pulling seems to put tension in the rifle itself and is limiting it's ability to be solid to some extent. I don't have any intention to shoot a trigger at single digit ounces for hunting, but I think that a 1.5lb trigger would be plenty acceptable, and if it got to the point where I was comfortable, I would maybe creep a few ounces lower, but never below a pound by any means. I come from growing up flushing deer out of sloughs and tree belts and shooting deer on the run. Trigger pull was never much of an issue. Most people there don't recommend a trigger below 3.5-4#. What I am learning since hunting more out west is that shooting deer on the run is less important, and being able to shoot long is more important. You can actually have a set up shot and make a good shot, not just a half luck/half skill shot on the run. For this reason, I am really enjoying the process of getting better. But with that said, I have to get my equipment set up for it. I would probably not use my Sendero for the same applications I used to hunt in. Plus I still have my ole trust 270win BDL for that. hahahaha [/QUOTE]
