I have yet to have a rifle fire without my wanting it to. If for some reason I decide not to fire my off hand moves back to the hammer and maintain complete control of it as I release the trigger and lower it to 1/2 c0ck. If a flinter I first flip open the frizzen before lowering the hammer.

6lbs unset, 4oz set when im ready to put the hurt on something

Don't walk behind me.

Hahaha that wont be hard

Well, my muzzle loader has the factory trigger, and while I have no idea what the pull weight is since I've not had it measured, it is way to heavy for me. That said, I don't use them enough to have a trigger job done on them.

On my main hunting rifle, I have the trigger set at 2.5lbs which I feel is safe, but still decently light.

That said, I normally prefer a much lighter trigger around 1lbs, but my current hunting rifle isn't that light.
