i'm not a gunsmith but i personlly wouldn't have a rifle with a trigger less than 3 pounds on a rifle that isn't a single shot with a hammer. this way you wouldn't have to worry as much about an accidental discharge from it being dropped or the bolt slamming forward. my T/C Prohunter is set between 2 1/2 and 3 pounds but it can't have an A.D. untill the hammer is cocked and i only cock the hammer when i'm looking through the scope and ready to shoot.
