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.

 

[std7mag]

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

 

[buffybr]

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.

I have almost all single stage triggers on bolt guns just to avoid cost of swapping out but I would switch them all if I could trade them.

 

[DIY HUNTER]

2 to 2.5 lbs for all my hunting rifles

 

[Wolfshead]

3 pounds for me

 

[shootbrownelk]

2 1/2 lb. Timney trigger in my hunting rifle. Perfect for me.

The single set trigger on my Sako goes from light to stupid light and that’s pretty nice.
The Bix n Andy on my 280 AI is set probably around 1-1.5 lbs. When I got it, it was set at 5 oz and that was way too light.

 

[Rhettster433]

my weatherby vanguard is set as low as i could get it. Probably 2ish pounds. And after using my grandpa’s hand me down rifles from the 70s, it feels too light. It still surprises me when it breaks sometimes, even dry firing

 

[Northwoods]

I can’t believe how light of a trigger some of you are hunting with. I’d fire before my crosshairs were settled with some of your rifles. Especially with gloves on. Around 4 pounds is good for me. Maybe I’m just tougher and more handsome than the average hunter
