Your preference with trigger lbs?

[johnnybow]

I have a tikka t3x superlight that i adjusted the trigger to just over 2lbs. I believe it made a difference with my accuracy. I can install a aftermarket spring and go a little lower. Mabee to 1.5lbs. What's your preference with trigger pull? I'm not sure if I would gain anything going lighter or not. Thanks

2.5ish for me, although the set trigger on my CZ 550 takes approximately one mouse-hair to set it off and I really enjoy it. Super light triggers are fine for precision shooting at the range but I don't want something too easily jostled when I'm hunting with it.

Aftermarket trigger springs in tikkas are notorious for causing unintended discharges. Just taking the rifle off safety can cause it to fire.

Back the adjustment screw out until it bottoms out and run it.

I have after market triggers on most of my rifles, the #1s were the first. Those are all set at 3 pounds. I have a couple of bolt guns set at around two, the rest are 3 pounders. Guess 3 is a good number for me.

3 to 3.5 pounds is perfect for me o hunting rifles. If it were a bench only rifle I would opt for a little lighter pull. A crisp trigger is really important. A 4 pound crisp trigger is much preferred over a 3 pound gritty trigger.

2-2.5 for a hunting rifle. Most of my rifles are 2.5.
