I have a few Timneys in different guns, 10/22, AR, and a Remington. For most casual shooters and hunters they are a great improvement over heavy factory triggers. I thought you mentioned you have your 'MOA' trigger down to 3 lbs or so? If that is the case I probably wouldn't spend the $$ to go down another 1/2 lb or so. I really don't see a reason to go below 2.5 or especially 2 lbs in a hunting rifle. That or even lighter may be O.K. for prairie dogging from a bench.
As with most things, there is room for individual preferences and desires. Information on the particular Timney, or other, trigger for your gun should list the poundage range.
They may also be net info as to how far the MOA trigger is safely adjustable.

I had a Jewell on my M70 but got rid of it. In Western Oklahoma, the red dust gets into EVERYTHING and Jewells do not do well in a dirty environment. Never much cared for the vague, mushy feeling of Jewells anyway. I got a target trigger spring (about 2 lbs) from Ernies, polished the engagement surfaces and adjusted to perfection. Spent $4 on the trigger spring and it is almost as good as another M70 that I own with a Timney. The real beauty of the factory trigger (non-MOA) is its simplicity.
