[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 414069, member: 21068"] I know this is a hot debate, and most people agree with you. If I was setting up a gun for average hunters, I wouldn't set it any lighter than 2 lbs either, at least untill they had gotten used to that. This gun is quite a bit heavier than it looks. I don't believe he plans on packing it very far. In fact we may be shooting it off the bench, because I've got a portable one and we may have to get "above the grass". If not off the bench, it will probably be prone off a bipod and bags I am quite sure........ambush style of hunting. For the average hunter, less than 2 lbs probably is too light, but I've shot [B]Thousands [/B]of rounds through a [U]few[/U] [U]different rifles[/U] that have 10 oz to 1 lb trigger pulls........For coyote hunting, prarie dog shooting, bench shooting, and yes, even deer and antelope hunting. Been using nothing but good light triggers for the past 20 years. Trick is, get used to such a light trigger by alot of bench or prone shooting first. Then follow the basic rule of gun safety........[B]Dont touch the trigger until you're ready to shoot!! [/B]If wearing gloves, I wouldn't want such light triggers, but I've gotten into the habbit of removing my trigger finger glove before getting ready to shoot, even dead of winter when calling coyotes. Brian, Really I was kidding............two lbs is fine, because we'll have a very steady rest........You know how I roll. LoL. [/QUOTE]
