None of my guns in the past have had lightened triggers. From what I read, 2.5-3 lbs. is optimal w/hunting firearms. What if you are hunting w/your lightened trigger and you were going through brush and the trigger were snagged causing a discharge? Seems like a few extra oz.'s of trigger pull are worth the extra margin of safety. With what I've used to me, a 3 lb. trigger would be a joy. I'll leave the slipping, falling, dropping the weapon causing discharge to others and keep watching-like yourself- to see what the more experienced on this matter have to say.
