[QUOTE="ofbandg, post: 1806563, member: 91402"] I don't hunt with a round in the chamber unless I am alone and seeing lots of fresh bear sign. I set my protection rifles at around 4 pounds because I like older style rifles and light triggers mean less sear engagement. Adjustment screws move. I know they can be glued but things change. I have had slam fires. I have had rifles go off when the safety was flipped off. I once had a Browning A-bolt rifle go off when I began to lift the bolt after it had just been lightened to 3 pounds by and "expert". I once had a hang-fire after walking through thick snow-covered timber. Snow got on my rifle and melted into the trigger. I still managed to shoot the buck, one of my best. Four pounds on a rifle meant for close range shooting has not caused me any problems, but it does make me feel more secure if I have to solve a problem with it. [/QUOTE]
