A variety of very good points, probably the thing that jumped out that i hadnt considered is the issue arising from wearing gloves. I live and hunt florida, i dont hunt with gloves, but can totally appreciate the point.
When my new 2 lb spring arrives, i will be testing the sear and safety thoroughly, just like i did with my remington 6 years ago but assuming that tests out ok, i remain comfortable with the 2 lb setting but my test a 2.5 lb setting to see if i can live with it as an added margin. I do know that any time i pick up the remington and dry fire it, i always say, man do i love that trigger.
