[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 521430, member: 2736"] I set all of my triggers at 2.2 pounds. they are light but not to light. I have tried other weights including very light and found them to be dangerous so I settled for 2.2 and it seams just right for me. Be sure and weigh all custom triggers because they can fool you. I use Jewell and Timney a lot and they feel different set at the same weight. (They allways feel lightest than the factory triggers. 2,5 to 3 pounds is a good place to start with a hunting rifle and you can tweak it one way or the other to suit yourself. I do not recomend any thing less than 2 pounds for hunting rifles. Some people can get buy with less weight but the first time a round goes off before you are realy on, you will add a little weight to your trigger. Bench guns can be set much lighter because they are in position (Pointing down range) before a round is inserted. so if it goes of before you are ready or intend it to, it is just embarrassing. Note : Be sure you know which screw to adjust before touching the trigger and DO NOT adjust the sear unless you are an expert. (This leads to most of the accidental discharges). J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
