RE: Trigger pull
My personal preference is 1.5-2.5lbs, but to me minimal creep and a crisp, clean break are more important than just the total pull weight. I'd rather pull a trigger that breaks at a glass smooth 4lbs with little or no creep/overtravel than a gritty 2lb trigger with 1/8" of grinding creep and another 1/8" of overtravel.
The optimum trigger for my preference is around 2lbs, smooth and short.
Everybody is different, though. A trigger that feels good to you may not feel good to me and visa versa.
