[QUOTE="freddiej, post: 1806810, member: 26227"] I set all of the hunting rifle's triggers to 2.5# to 3.5#. The only exclusion to this is the varmint triggers I set. I set in 0.010" over travel, 0.007" engagement, and I make sure the trigger itself is as balanced as possible due to people dropping or using their rifle butts for walking sticks from time to time. I do not want the trigger over riding the trigger spring and going off while the gun is pointed at the sky/head of anyone. as for the safety, I never trust safeties. I make sure in my own hunts that my rifles have the bolt unlocked a little more than 1/2 way to insure the striker's cocking piece and the cocking part of the bolt body are engaged with each other. no possible way to go off when these two pieces are engaged with eachother.
