I put Timney springs in my A-bolt several years ago. There were 2 or 3 springs in the package, all different tensions. I tried all of them and settled on the one the felt best. A 2 lb spring in your gun might be 1.8 in mine. Temperature could also change the pull weight.
Like has been said previously, there's a lot of difference between a trigger that feels good at the bench (or dry firing) and a trigger that works well in the woods.
