3 to 4 lbs and properly adjusted for creep, etc. I have one rifle, a Rem 700, that is right at 2 1/4 lbs and have had a little trouble after shooting my others, reloading sessions. Have to really think about that trigger when hunting, very distracting. I believe it's important to feel the trigger on your finger to make a deliberate shot. Just my opinion. I'll have that trigger brought up with all my others. 3 lbs. On a typical hunting rifle, I think too light is worse than too heavy, within reason of course.
