Trigger lbs. ??

[300ultramagshooter]

On your hunting rifles how many pounds is your trigger set for?

[retrieverman]

I like a 1.5-2.0# trigger.

1.5#-2.0#Like retrieverman.I don't let anyone touch my rifles for safety reasons.

2.5lb. for big game and less than 1 lb. for woodchucks...

Mineis set for 5 or more but after the season is over I am getting it put to 3.

It depends upon what I'm hunting. Varmint rifles are normally 2 to 3lbs. I like a deer rifle to have a 3.5 to 4lb trigger. I don't like too light of a trigger on a rifle that I might be shooting with gloves on.

If a trigger is polished smooth with the overtravel adjusted right, you'd be surprised how "light" a trigger can feel even at 3 to 4lbs of pull. I've seen triggers with creep and lots of overtravel adjusted down to a couple pounds trying to compensate for a poor trigger.

I like them set to 3 lbs for big game hunting. I want an absolutel glass rod break when I squeeze it .

[Hairtrigger]

For large game I am usually wearing gloves in cooler weather so I want atleast 3.5lbs.
I have set triggers on a few of my varmint rifles that are at 8oz but consider a crisp trigger that is 2lbs just fine for woodchucks.
A light trigger does not always make a rifle accurate. I do not work on a trigger until the rifle shows real potential

2.5

[Carpmaster]

Where I am using gloves 3 is plenty light!
