WHY WHY WHY
PROS & CONS

It may boil down to personal choice or what you are used to.

I can't stand a two-stage trigger, long-time bench rest shooter, and varmint hunter. I like very light triggers and my long-range hunting rifle triggers at 12oz to 16 oz. People are very different in their likes, and I would not let anyone borrow a rifle of mine due to the light triggers.

11 of my rifles have:
BixN' Andy Tac Sport Pro @ 4-5oz
Or
TriggerTech Diamond @ 5-6oz

I have 2 others with Timney Calvin Elites @ 8oz.

...or else I might kill some animals...

Single ~1# or slightly less for hunting. Jewel, TT, timney in that order.

Are those HUNTING guns???

Are those HUNTING guns???

ALL my rifles are "hunting" guns.
Although I do have one I built heavy for banging steel, I would still consider it a hunting rifle. Just one of those that don't get too far from the truck!

 

[MtPockets]

I have a.270 with what I always thought was too light a trigger and its at about 20 ounces.
Of the triggers you have, which is your favorite?

 

[Mikecr]

The best trigger I ever used was an Anschutz 5018 (2-stage).
Since I can't get that on anything not designed for it, I'm left with Jewel and B&A, always set to lowest safe settings for the action(~2-8oz).

I can't stand a heavy trigger pull, and/or creep, with any rifle for any purpose.
I prefer higher travel than shorter so that I don't jab at it. Just a pleasant glassy smooth squeeze.

Single no doubt.

Me too! Can't heavy trigger pulls. I did some target shooting a Ruger Mk 11 in 338WM. It had an 8lbs trigger in it. My friend couldn't afford a trigger. So I put one in for him and me. Put together some great groups with that rifle. I got buy it some year later. Put a muzzle brake on it. It's my go to rifle now. 200gr AB @ 3230fps. At the time BTBT in 200gr Noslers.

My Silhouette Rem 700 has a Jewel set at 3.0oz. My Silhouette Anschutz with the 5018 is set at 3.2oz.

Hunting rifles have Timney and Triggertech, all set at 2.0 lbs. Of these two I prefer Triggertech. All are single stage and can't have it any other way.

Steyr Model L rifle, Double set trigger probably one of the better hunting triggers have used. Timneys, on others, no complaints.
