Your preference with trigger lbs?

[6mm Remington]

I prefer 2.5 - 3 pounds on my rifles.

 

[cahunter805]

I prefer 1.5-2lbs but more importantly no over travel and crisp.

Unlike what the Savage factory thinks, 6lbs is way too much!

I set up all of my hunting rifles to two to 2-1/2lbs.

I like control, at 1lb

I prefer 1.5 lbs of my hunting rifles, if I ever hunted when I was shooting with gloves on I would want a heavier trigger. My wife’s Tikka has the factory spring backed all the way out and it’s a hair over 2lbs, my son has a couple tikkas with aftermarket springs that gets them to 1.5 lbs. I have several rifles with m700 actions or clones with Trigger Techs set between 1 and 1.5 lbs and that works for me.

1.5 for hunting.
.2 to.8 oz, for target

I set all of my hunting rifles at 2 pounds.

1.5-2.5 # on hunting rifles. I feel like i can shoot a 2 stage with a heavier pull better than a crisp single stage (tikka, triggertech) with the same.

Most seem to like no creep, no overtravel, but I feel like i shoot better being able to preload the trigger through the first stage and have it not stop immediately after it breaks on the follow through.

Was curious if anyone on here hunts with a 2-stage. I like it on my AR-style platforms but all of my hunting rifles are single stage.
