[QUOTE="Teri Anne, post: 2848265, member: 118816"] We all think that we are safe, but how safe are we? If you think that having a rifle that has a trigger pull in ounces is safe out in the woods then I have to disagree with you. Too much can go wrong, a simple push or shove, a branch in the wrong place, a heavier glove than you are used to and the list goes on. I myself love a light trigger. My Winchester Model 70's have 2 1/2 pound triggers which is plenty light for any kind of shooting, target or otherwise. The Tikka's are in the 3 1/2 pound range and it's extremely easy to lightly press the trigger when ready to shoot without affecting the sight picture. It is my humble opinion as a NRA certified Instructor as well as a Hunter Safety Instructor that a trigger set in ounces is unsafe for any type of hunting. The exception would be a rifle with a set trigger installed, and those are few and far in between these days. :confused: [/QUOTE]
