[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1311820, member: 2736"] +1 Trigger pull weight is a very personal thing and there is no one trigger weight that is good for all people and conditions. I tried the light trigger weights when triggers became safer (Some even have an interrupter link built is that prevents operating unless the trigger is pulled, Like the Jewell. After shooting/competing many years with the required 4 lb trigger Minimum I found that many triggers were subject to accidental discharge when set to light. The first "Good trigger" that no matter what I did to the rifle, would not fire unless I pulled the trigger encouraged me to try 2oz and all was fine at the range, but several times with gloves on I was not totally ready for the rifle to go off. so I started adjusting the trigger until it felt right and did not effect the accuracy. After reaching this point, I weighed the trigger and it was 2.2 pounds. so I set all of my rifles with aftermarket triggers the same (2.2 pounds and have never regretted it). The factory triggers are not set this light for safety reasons. I could probably change all of them to 2.0 pounds and probably could not tell the difference. With good trigger control, 4 to 6 pounds is very good but without the amount of practice as before, the 2.2 pound trigger works well for me. Just My opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
