[QUOTE="Teri Anne, post: 2549138, member: 118816"] On a designated target rifle a trigger pull is ok providing that one pays close attention where you are pointing the muzzle. Very light triggers have a tendency to slip and shoot the rifle with very little jarring or sometimes even when closing the bolt. On a rifle range during either practice or at a match with the rifle pointed down range this might be an inconvenience or a reason to shoot off and loose the match, but for a hunting rifle it is totally unacceptable. I have the triggers set between 2.5 and 4 pounds on all of my hunting rifles which makes inadvertently firing only a remote possibility. Always keep TAB K in mind whenever you handle a firearm [B]T-Treat every firearm a if it is loaded. A-Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction, B-Be sure of your target and Beyond. K-Keep your finger off of the trigger until ready to shoot. [/B]All firearms accidents are caused by the violation of one or more of these rules. SHOOT SAFE - HUNT SAFE. [/QUOTE]
