Winchester has a great trigger desighn from what i read,but like all factory rifles, there gonna be heavy. Cost me 20$ to take mine to a gunsmith to have it set to 3-3.5 lbs and its awsome. All three make great guns. I LOVE my model 70 featherweight 270 wsm, its a blast and would fit the bill for your needs. Of course so would a ruger or remington in the right caliber. The 270 is a great cartridge for the game you intend to hunt.
