Hunting trigger?
 
Just curious what your hunting muzzy trigger is set at. I tend to be a bit of a dare devil and always take the "Thats to light!" smack talk from some here as well as my brother in law, but i love a nice light crisp trigger pull.

Taking out my Tenn Mtn Rifle .50cal I did some grinding, polishing, adjusting and got her just where i want her.

A nice crisp 4oz :D

Like I said in the PM. Don't ever walk behind me.

Can't say I see any point to a trigger that light. I consider 2 lbs. very light, yet safe and controllable. But anything under 4 lbs. is satisfactory if it breaks clean and crisp.

3-4 pounds I always considered a good hunting trigger. I have no idea what a double trigger Renegade breaks at. But one of mine is very light.

I have already told you 2.75 to 3.5 perfect for hunting in all weather

3 to 3 1/2 lbs. works for me.

I like 2 pounds for off hand competition and 3.5 for hunting and consider anything under 1.5 dangerous. if your hand is cold you are liable to shoot something you don't intend to shoot or a jar might set it off.

My lightest triggers are 2.5lb and thats only because they shipped that way. Mine appear safe but im normally happy with a 3lb trigger with no creep.

I agree with all posts except the first one.

My question , why would you want 4oz. That gives you no advantage in my eyes.Let alone a safety issue.

3lbs is perfect for me. If you have a light trigger and hunt with gloves you are asking for a problem.
