RE: TC Pro- Hunter
I guess its all in what a person likes, the money don't mean much to us old guys.You can't take it with you anyway. I buy a new TC every year this year it was the Triumph, and I like to shoot a lot and feel I already have gotten my moneys worth. I tried a couple of them low priced ones both had good barrels but cheap steel in the actions broke down in a couple of months. I also work on guns for a long time and got to the point where there are certain brands that occasionally have certain problem and I always hope the guy next to me on the range is not shooting one of them.

Judging weight of trigger pull is pretty difficult by feel. We all know when a trigger is light, or heavy, or crisp, of dragging, but it's just a guess when it comes to pounds of pull. If you don't have a trigger pull scale there's an easy way to get an approximate weight. It's a two person job. Connect a gallon jug to your trigger with a loop of string and have someone slowly fill the jug with water until the trigger breaks - then weigh the jug.

OK gander, this is a test (just for the fun of it). You think it's about one and a half pounds. Try my method and see how close your estimate was, and let us know the results.

1 lb 15oz " Deer creek Northwest rifle"
It also depends where you put the string. If the string slides up to far, its going to take more water to make it go off. You need to pay attention to where your finger rests and where most of the trigger weight is pulled on your finger, mark that area and put the string in that general area. That was still a fun, fast and free way to figure out what your trigger pull is.
Cayugad, I used this trigger set up during hunting season and if i were using gloves, i'd deff. go with atleast a 2.5 or 3lb trigger pull VS where i am at now. With no gloves, its safe for me.
Also forgot, Remove your trigger guard so you get a straight backward pull on your trigger. Having the string go over the side of your trigger guard doesnt allow all of the weight to pull the trigger straight back.
